    Mac user: I’ve never once paid for a system update and am wildly confused by this meme.

    And hardware support continues for so long I’ve never had a machine be unable to run a new OS before I already needed a new machine (I used my ‘08 MacBook Pro for a solid 10 years no problem).

    I feel like some of y’all have never used an Apple machine before.

      They used to charge for OS upgrades about 10 years ago, back when it was still called OSX.

      You had to pay for OS X updates before, but they changed that around 15 years ago. I remember paying I think $60 to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
