> There’s a limit to this, but it’s further back than you might think. I also have a 2012 quad-core Mac Mini that’s still in regular use. It’s also fine!

No recent version on Xcode would work on this one, though.



That’s not entirely correct. Mine’s running Catalina and was running the latest version of Xcode as of late summer, which is the last time I powered it on. Big Sur just dropped support for this model.

But you’re right that this means this particular model’s days are numbered. Shame! The quad-core Mini from this era still works quite well!
