This guide defines the lifecycle of our support for different operating systems. It is intended to explain the support timeframe for an OS from testing status through to end of life (EOL). We also incorporate new operating system versions as they are announced by the vendors.
When possible, we link to the vendor or developer's own notes on release support and lifecycles. Our support lifecycle information can be found in the table below and can be downloaded from the attachments section as a PDF.
*NOTE - Apple does not officially release information on OS version releases and lifecycles in a schedule or forecast.
