MacOS software updates are free. The issue is that suddenly Apple decides your perfectly functioning computer is no longer supported, and after that in a matter of 2 years you will no longer find any new software for your OS, and then you have 3 options:
This comic is old, Mac major OS updates used to cost money.
Super old. It went to $129 before becoming free. This is like 20yo.
Snow leopard was 30USD!
My MacBook Air is 3 years old and I just installed Sonoma on it, runs great! ๐
I think they're referring to the fact that you can only continue using an unsupported version of MacOS for two years, not that the computer will only get two years of support.
Minor Mac update available! -> 1 hour to install it
redownload whole os
I'm mostly fine with it because my work buys my equipment so asking for new hardware is easy. Buuut you are absolutely right that we need a systemic fix for this. It's anti-consumer for there not to be some required support length of like 5 years or something
I have been replacing work laptops every 4 years and home ones every 5 to 6. I've never had an os update issue. I suspect your concerns are more than 15 years old.
You think that's a lot? I don't have a single laptop younger than 6 years, at home or work.
