What your Mac won’t tell you

“Your Mac is up to date” doesn’t mean it’s protected.

When Apple has nothing left for a model, Software Update simply says the Mac is up to date. True, and misleading: it means there are no more updates for that Mac, not that its security holes are fixed.

As of 10 November 2026, from Apple’s published compatibility lists and security updates. Apple doesn’t announce end dates for its fixes: the dates shown are estimates based on its usual pattern, which covers the current version and the two before it. Apple also says only the latest version gets every known fix.
