The now-abandoned systems will be supported with security-only updates to the last-chance Catalina through the summer of 2022, however.Īlthough paying developers now have access to Big Sur preview code, the public beta won't debut until July, Apple said. Macs that didn't make Big Sur's list but were on Catalina's included the mid- and late-year 2012 MacBook Pro, mid-2012 MacBook Air, mid-2012 and late-2013 iMac, and late-2012 Mac Mini machines. So it wasn't a surprise when the system requirements were narrowed for the new OS.Īccording to Apple, these Macs will run Big Sur: This a1419 computer still stands tall among competitors and will continue to stand tall for a long while regardless of the amount of development that happens in the computer world.Apple has used an odd-even cadence for its operating system upgrades' requirements, alternately retaining the prior year's models on the newest version's support list in odd-numbered years with odd-numbered editions, as in 2019's Catalina, macOS 10.15, and dropping models from the list during even-numbered years with even-numbered editions.īig Sur would have been 10.16 if Apple had hewed to tradition, but it's still an even-numbered upgrade because of its year. It also had a powerful graphics processor included with its GeForce GTX 775M graphics processor with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory with a built-in FaceTime HD camera.
The basic components of a computer such as the RAM were upgraded as this model had an 8 GB of 1600 MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM which could be upgraded on purchase to a 32 GB RAM but not recommended for an upgrade after even though it is a possibility. A number of more conventional features of a computer were absent – such a DVD drive slots and the FireWire ports that were traditional with the Apple iMac brand and new features appeared – such as the Thunderbolt port which allows for the passage of both visual and audio signal.
About this iMac The Apple iMac Intel Aluminum released in September 2013 was another step in creativity in the world of computers.
