Apple macOS 10.14 Mojave - Official information as of autumn 2018

In addition to current reports from the media, beta versions that can be read, and some press releases from Apple that do not say too much, there are no other sources. As of the official release of Apple macOS 10.14 Mojave, which we are sure to on the this year's September keynote there will definitely be an official support document with a list of compatible Mac models. Until then you can still continue macOS High Sierra (compatible devices here) enjoy and you guys with this press release inform about the news from Mojave;)

Install macOS Mojave on old Macs

Since some readers have written to me that their Macs, although they are officially still in the list of compatible Mac models, still do not offer an update to Mojave, I would like to briefly note this app tip: With a special tool called "macOS Mojave Patcher Tool for Unsupported Macs"You can also install the new operating system on Macs if these are normally not supported by Mojave. Since Mojave is a performance and stability update, I do not expect Macs that are currently running High Sierra to become slower. On the contrary : They should actually run faster and more stable than under macOS 10.13, but that's my guess - make a bootable backup before the update so that you won't be surprised!
