I use my laptop for work (nothing intensive), and at home for we browsing, email, and would like to do more home video editing - which doesn't work well at all on my Mid-2010. Here we are now and as I contemplate upgrading and spending the $2700+ dollars on a new laptop (I've been saving for a while), I have concerns but can't seem to get straight answers from my searches online. When I heard the new M1 might be available this year in the new 16" MacBook Pro's, I decided wait to see what was released. I currently have a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15" and have been thinking about upgrading for the past year or so. Thinking about upgrading to a 2021 16" MacBook Pro, but. I just need this thing to be viable long enough for me to get the tiniest of trickles from app sales to help my development fetish be just a bit self sustaining, in regards to hardware upgrades every few years. But am I wasting my time? Am I going to pick this thing up only to have OS X 10.15 come along with no 2012 device support, an Xcode 11 and iOS 13 SDK release that requires 10.15, all required for new App Store releases, etc.? That would completely shut me down before I could really get back into it, a paperweight as far as usefulness to me. So my plan is to make my company an offer on this old 2012 Mac Mini that just sits there, never gets powered on, no one uses it. ![]() Can’t use my company MacBook Pro, or my company would own my personal projects instead of me.Īpple hardware is just getting leaps and bounds more outrageously. ![]() I want to pick up where I left off again, but no longer personally own the required hardware (all outdated for iOS dev now). Since my latest job change I’ve had to put my personal projects down for many years due to time and budget constraints. I have written many business related apps at work, but used to write games in my own spare time. I love the Apple ecosystem, I love writing iOS apps. I realize I may not get a definitive answer, but any predictions on when the 2012 Mac Mini May cease to receive new OS X upgrades?
