  • Is macOS Sequoia v15.7.1 good in 2020 13" Intel MBP?

    From Ant@3:633/10 to All on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 17:27:14
    Hello,

    Since Apple and MS recently ended their supports for macOS Ventura
    v13.7.8, I need to upgrade macOS. I'm not touching the new recent
    version since it just came out and has many issues. Is macOS Sequoia
    v15.7.1 good in 2020 13" Intel MBP?

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    MS?

    You haven't provided the exact spec of your MBP.

    Sequoia is compatible with that model according to Apple Support.

    <https://support.apple.com/en-gb/120282>

    I don't know which Tahoe issues concern you but wait a few months and
    they may well be resollved.

    Here's trhe compability list from Apple.

    Always the same song with each major macOS release.

    Where did you pick up this obsession?

    I have MacOS 15.7.1/iPadOS 18.7.1 on everything here.

    I never jump on the latest version. Of anything. It is always amusing to see the questions here (and other places) along the lines of "I just upgraded to x.0.0 and now this is happening/not working/how do I change that...".

    I always wait until x.2.1 or so. Because there is no rush. Everything I have is running just fine.

    I have a couple iPad mini 5s and iPad Air 3s that - surprisingly - are compatible with 26. But 18 was noticeably slower than 17. I may just forget 26 on these.

    Ventura hasn't been fully supported by Apple for a while.

    It'll be fine. You don't get Apple Intelligence which is one of the main resource hogs.

    Nonsense! Since more than 20 years I upgrade immediately. Never ever had
    a serious issue on more than a dozen devices.

    I always wait until x.2.1 or so. Because there is no rush. Everything I have is running just fine.
