macOS 13 key dates

Date	macOS 13
Released	24 Oct 2022
Security updates	20 Aug 2025Confirmed[1]
Latest version	13.7.8

What this means for you

macOS 13 no longer gets security updates. It keeps working, but vulnerabilities found from now on stay open, so it is not a safe choice for anything connected to the internet, used for banking or work, or covered by compliance rules.

Upgrade options:

macOS 26 (Tahoe): supported until 15 Sep 2028
macOS 15 (Sequoia): supported until 15 Sep 2027

What happens when support ends

Will it still run?

Your Mac keeps working. Apple does not disable an old macOS, and your apps and files stay as they are.

Will it get security fixes?

Apple stops listing security updates for that macOS version. Vulnerabilities fixed in newer versions stay open on yours, including flaws Apple says may have been actively exploited.

What stops working?

Safari updates for that macOS stop around the same time (Sonoma's last was Safari 26.6.1 in August 2026). New Xcode releases require a recent macOS (Xcode 27 needs macOS Tahoe 26.6 or later). App developers raise their minimum macOS over time, so App Store updates for some apps stop installing.

What are my options?

Upgrade to the newest macOS your Mac supports in System Settings > General > Software Update.
If your Mac can't run a supported version, it will stay on unpatched software. Keep it off untrusted networks and use a browser that still supports your macOS, or plan to replace the Mac.
macOS 27 runs only on Apple silicon Macs. Intel Macs top out at macOS 26 Tahoe.

What else stops working, and when

The end of Mac OS updates is only part of the story. Browsers, Office and apps set their own cut-offs for older versions:
