Support milestones: end of support = Active support; end of life = Supported. Unknown dates are shown as “Not announced”. Paid extended support is separate from standard end of life. Support windows may vary by version and edition. Timeline spacing is not a duration scale.Apple details are separate from EOS/EOL.

Vintage/obsolete concerns repair and parts, may vary by variant or region, and does not determine software support. Not listed does not guarantee service availability.
