macOS Sequoia is out

Released Sep. 16th, 2024.

Version 15.0, build 24A335 (same as RC published Sep. 10th).

Sonoma drops official support for Amber Lake MacBook Air8,1/8,2 thereby raising the minimum MacBook Air platform to final 2020 Ice Lake-based MBA9,1. The rest of the supported platforms remain identical to Sonoma. Support for Kaby Lake graphics remain provided with all KBL kexts still present so good news to all owners of Skylake laptops who will all be able to run Sequoia with full acceleration through the SKL graphics patch required since Ventura. For other iGPUs, patches are available through OCLP tool to regain graphics acceleration.

Officially supported Intel platforms are now limited to :

• iMac19,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake)

• iMacPro1,1 (Skylake Xeon)

• MacBookPro15,x (8th gen. Coffee Lake)

• Macmini8,1 (8th gen Coffee Lake)

• MacPro7,1 (Cacade Lake)

With Sequoia, Apple introduced artificial intelligence features that are only available to Apple Silicon models. Intel platforms are not compatible with these.

NB: macOS Monterey is now officially unsupported.
