If you like what you’ve seen in Maverick and iOS 7 and are wondering whether your iDevices will be compatible, wonder no more. Gizmodo put together a run-down for both platforms. Though things are’t quite as straightforward as the above graphic suggests …
Let’s start with the good news: if your Mac is currently able to run Mountain Lion, it’ll likely also run Maverick since the specs appear to be identical. So that means all of the following Macs …
– iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
– MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
– MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
– MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
– Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
– Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
– Xserve (Early 2009)
Where things get messier is with iOS 7. The full compatibility list is:
– iPhone 4
– iPhone 4S
– iPhone 5
– iPod Touch 16GG
– iPod Touch 32/64GB
– iPad 2
– iPad with Retina Display
– iPad Mini
However, you won’t get all of the iOS 7 goodness on older devices. Only the very latest iDevices get Airdrop, for example, while the poor old iPad 2 gets nothing but iRadio. Here’s the full table of which devices get what features:
