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:

  • Buy a new computer.
  • Hackintosh it with a dosdude patch to use the latest version of MacOS.
  • Just install GNU/LINUX.

Super old. It went to $129 before becoming free. This is like 20yo.

Why do Mac updates cost money?

They actually used to, until like 10 years ago. This comic is from before then.
