This is the line of slimmer and smaller 12in MacBook models with Retina displays that Apple introduced in March 2015 – except that the 2015 model is no longer included as of Monterey. If you have one of these MacBooks, available in Gold, Silver or Space Grey you should have no problems upgrading to Monterey.
Apple took its time about updating the MacBook Air, with no real update between 2015 and 2018, when the company introduced a new-look MacBook Air. At least the 2015 MacBook Air can run Monterey, but unfortunately MacBook Air models from 2013, that were able to run Big Sur, will not run Monterey.
In 2020 the late 2013 MacBook Pro models were able to run Big Sur, but this year they are out in the cold as only 2015 or newer MacBook Pro will run the new macOS. Some 2013-2014 MacBook Pro models were apparently being bricked by Big Sur, so perhaps it is a positive omission.
Like the MacBook Air the Mac mini wasn’t updated by Apple for a number of years. The supported models include the late 2014 model, the new 2018 model and the 2020 model (which is essentially the same as the 2018 model). This supported list hasn’t changed since Big Sur.
Big Sur supported the 2014 iMac but that model is out this time round. As long as your iMac is 2015 or later you will be able to run Monterey.
The iMac Pro was only introduced in 2017, but then it was discontinued earlier in 2021. At least it is supported by Monterey.
The only Mac Pro models that are supported are the Trash-can style Mac Pro and the new, 2019 Mac Pro workstation. If you have one of the older aluminium towers, the original cheese-grater design, then you won’t be able to run Monterey on it. Is your Mac not supported? If you are desperate to install Monterey on an unsupported Mac read it may eventu...
