Any guesses as to macOS 10.14 system requirements? ** 2012 Macs or later & some earlier Mac Pros

Heheh. Look at this Macworld article from earlier today. It's like they copied this thread verbatim:


macOS 10.14 Mojave 2018 release date, features & system requirements

MacOS 10.14 System requirements

The fact that the next very of macOS won't support 32-bit apps also hints that there may be a few more Macs that aren't supported either.

Another clue as to which Macs might not be supported is Metal. Macs that don't have Metal support could get dropped after High Sierra.

This could leave only the following Macs:

• iMac models from 2012 or later
• MacBook models from 2015 or later
• MacBook Pro models from 2012 or later
• MacBook Air models from 2012 or later
• Mac mini models from 2012 or later
• Mac Pro models from late 2013

This seems unlikely this soon though. So we think it's more likely that we might see the following Macs supported.

• Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt
• Early 2011 or newer iMac with Thunderbolt
• Late 2017 iMac Pro with Thunderbolt
• Mid 2011 or newer Mac mini with Thunderbolt
• Early 2015 or newer MacBook with USB-C
• Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air with Thunderbolt
• Late 2013 Mac Pro with Thunderbolt

You'll notice what that last option means - no more cheese grater Mac Pro support. Apple had better hurry up and launch it's Mac Pro successor.

What does a recommended Metal-capable graphics card mean?

I guess a GPU that supports Metal 2?

Probably GTX 600 + (kepler) or any modern radeon RX card

I see. That's terrible news especially as they are doing the complete opposite and broadening older device support on iOS.

Intel HD Graphics 4000 or later supports Metal as well.

Confirmed: my 4,1->5,1 Mac Pro with 2x X5690, 64GB RAM and a RX 470 8GB card does NOT meet the requirements to install the 10.14 beta:



Then again, my Mac Pro does support Metal2 but can't upgrade to Pixelmator Pro 1.09 due to the same requirements of the App Store.
