Current Sequoia status
OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.0.0 implemented early support for macOS Sequoia. Some challenges remain, so read model-specific issues before installing.
- Newly dropped hardware listed in the docs: MacBookAir8,1 and MacBookAir8,2.
- T2-related problems mean the MacBookAir8,x models cannot be supported at the documented time.
- iPhone Mirroring and Apple Intelligence are non-functional on most patched Macs due to hardware requirements.
Important Sequoia issues
T2 Security chip
MacBookAir8,x has T2 communication panics when booted through OpenCorePkg.
USB 1.1
For Penryn systems, pre-2013 Mac Pros, and Xserve, USB 1.1 support removal affects keyboard, trackpad, IR receivers, and Bluetooth.
Graphics patches
OCLP includes Legacy Metal and non-Metal patches, but model-specific issues still matter.
MetallibSupportPkg
Some Ivy Bridge, Haswell, and NVIDIA Kepler systems running Sequoia or newer may require this package during root patching.
macOS Tahoe after Sequoia
If you want macOS Tahoe next, read the Tahoe page and current OCLP release notes. Sequoia with stable 2.5.1 remains the safer daily path for many unsupported Intel Macs.
Match your Model Identifier to the current OpenCore Legacy Patcher release notes before you install a new macOS version on an unsupported Mac.
