- jamesgeck0 9y agoMight as well start thinking about upgrading anyway. If the past is an indicator, Apple will likely stop releasing security updates for El Capitan in a bit less than a year.
- ako 9y agoStill happily running an iMac 24" from 2008 (harddrive replaced with an SSd). Apple considers this hardware too old for macOs Sierra. Probably will need to upgrade it to Windows 10 to keep it up to date.
- ken 9y agoWith my user hat on, I agree. My main workstation is still going strong with 10.11 (the latest it officially supports), and there's no end-user features of >10.11 that I want (maybe APFS). Or even of newer hardware. With my developer hat on, I completely understand where they're coming from. Sierra adds a ton of useful new functionality, and fixes a ton of bugs. (There's several new features in 10.11 which just seem completely broken for any non-trivial use, and which were fixed in 10.12.) Not needing to support 10.11 makes life a lot easier. If I weren't using 10.11 myself, I'd make my application 10.12-only in a heartbeat.
