Lol, I mean sort of... They charge 2-3 times too much for their hardware (all of which is outdated save for some of their processors) and cut off any computer over three years old.
I've never in my entire life retired a computer after only three years. It's so incredibly wasteful and greedy of them.
MacOS Sonoma, released Fall 2023, is available on iMac Pro, released in 2017. That’s the oldest they support, but even the lower-tier MacBook Air and Mac Mini models are supported back to the 2018 models. That’s six and five years.
Fuck Apple and their greedy business tactics, but let’s not just spread false information either.

Apple makes solid hardware that's good for way longer then the software supports. Previously being a mac first user, I've taken to buying 10 year old macbook pros and putting linux on them for that reason.
I've got an iMac sitting on my desk I use as a secondary machine and monitor that is 14 years old. You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts.
2006 MacPro. I should use it as a server, but between the 32bit firmware and that it's a space heater that only supports 6 drives without adding a SAS card, I have better options.
