Summary:
Intune will support macOS 13 and higher later this year, coinciding with the release of macOS 15 Sequoia. Devices on macOS 12.x or below will remain enrolled but won't be able to enroll new devices. Organizations should prepare by upgrading devices to a supported OS version.
Details:
Later this year, we expect macOS 15 Sequoia to be released by Apple. Microsoft Intune, the Company Portal app and the Intune MDM agent will be moving to support macOS 13 (Ventura) and later. Since the Company Portal app for iOS and macOS are a unified app, this change will occur shortly after the release of macOS 15. This does not affect existing, enrolled devices.
