Apple · Operating Systems
For macOS by Apple, patchletter knows 12 support cycles. 9 of them have already ended and receive no more security updates. The current version of macOS is 27.0.1. The cycles come from the open endoflife.date project, last reconciled on 30/09/2026.
When does support end for which macOS version?
A cycle is a maintained version line. Where a date is given, support ends on that day — after it the vendor ships no more security updates for that line.

Where does the EOL data for macOS come from?
From the open endoflife.date project, which collects vendors' official support commitments. patchletter reconciles the cycles daily; the macOS data is as of 30/09/2026. In case of doubt the vendor's own lifecycle page applies — patchletter deliberately stores no vendor full texts.
