How Can I Update My MacOS? (MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports))
Which OS is best for a 2017 MacBook Pro in terms of performance and reliability?
best OS for macbook pro 2017?
Latest macOS upgrade available for my MacBook.
Is my MacBook compatible with macOS Sonoma?
Which Macs have macOS Sequoia compatibility?
What happens if my Mac is not compatible with the latest macOS?
Dumb question probably but here are my specs of what kind of MacBook I have and the current MacOS it's running on.
MacOS High Sierra
Version: 10.13.6
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Is it possible for me to update it further than Version 10.13.6?
Each time I click "Software Update" on the About This Mac overview screen, it will take me to the app store. But there will be no update available. I added a picture below...
Please let me know what I can do or if my macbook is too old to be updated any further.
kinda complicated but after mojave i stopped upgrading the OS bc i was afraid my computer would slow down. so now i’m like 4 OSs behind. i do the same thing on my iphone and my 6s is still running ios 12 lol. my mom just sent me her old iphone 11 and in order to restore from my itunes backup and connect to the new phone i would need to upgrade my OS. does anyone know what the minimum OS is to connect to the iphone 11, or if i can just upgrade to the latest OS without slowing down my machine? if possible i would upgrade to monterey but i don’t know if my computer can handle it.
thank you!!!!

Hello!
Wondering if anyone has any insight on the next models that will not be able to update to the latest / next OS?
I'm having a display issue and debating if it's worth fixing or upgrading.
Thanks!
I made a habit out of maxing my MacBooks in the past. It’s been worth it since I’ve needed it for work and use them for everything.
Saying that, I’m really not seeing the incentive to do that much anymore. The mid loadout for the M-series MacBooks seem good enough. Not to mention, I’ve read a few studies now that suggest Apple is trying to trim down the MacBook lifecycle even further.
It seems crazy to me that my 2013 MacBook Pro has almost as much power as my current Intel-based 2019 MacBook Pro (on paper and in practice), but it hasn’t been supported for years. I’m sure there are good reasons, but I still use that thing as my second workbook because of how fast it is to this day.
As a software dev, I know it’s not really logical to expect them to maintain this stuff forever. I’ve accepted that my 2013 MacBook Pro has already been unable to install the newest apps for a few years now due to OS requirements. Still, it just seems crazy to think that a MacBook purchased today might be deprecated in 5 years time.
Edit: Clarify 2019 MacBook Pro (Intel-based).
My bigger issue is concerning the developer tools, which I didnt do a great job at getting across. Regardless of how powerful my MacBook is, if it doesn’t run the latest macOS, I’m forced to purchase a new MacBook. So even though my MacBook Pro is fully maxed out, capable of running the newest OS and exponentially more powerful than other MacBooks from that year, I have to buy a new MacBook anyway just because they get phased out by year-of-manufacturing instead of by hardware capability. Thus, I feel no reason to invest in a high end MacBook anymore.
