macOS 15 is compatible with these Mac models with Intel processors:
The list of supported models compared to macOS 14 Sonoma has one change: MacBook Air which included models from 2018 and now only supports those from 2020.
All supported models except iMac19,1 (2019 iMac) have a T2 security chip, this is important when we talk about updates notification in System Settings (OTA: Over The Air updates).
Most of the OpenCore settings that were valid for Sonoma are also valid for Ventura. Main differences are in the versions of some kexts (not all of them are used on my hardware):
-lilubetaall
in boot args)-btlfxbeta
in boot args)-revbeta
in boot args) or 1.1.4Other extensions may be the most recent official versions.
I get best results with iMac19.1 SMBIOS and the iGPU enabled in BIOS. These are the main details when configuring config.plist.
ACPI: SSDT-EC-USBX.aml, SSDT-PLUG.aml and SSDT-PMC.aml. SSDT-AWAC.aml is not required on my system but, if in doubt, add it because it does not cause any harm if it is present without being needed

Only SMBIOS iMac19.1 model that lacks T2 security chip receives notifications of new updates in System Settings. Rest of the models that have T2 chip are only notified if you add:
revpatch=sbvmm
in boot args: it makes macOS believe that it is in a virtual machine and it does not matter which SMBIOS model has a T2 chip.These settings can be disabled for daily use of the system but you have to re-enable them when you want to be notified of new updates. Another option is to download the full installer package each time, bypassing this limitation but they are large packages of around 15 GB so they are not practical for those who have to update a lot of computers at a time.
You can try the same settings that work in macOS Sonoma. Except for kext versions and what was said about update notification.
Extended instructions:: Intel AX210 wifi6 on macOS Sonoma
OCLP developers have released a beta version that works on Sequoia, it is different from the one we were using on Sonoma.
Other settings are as before: Broadcom wifi back on macOS Sonoma with OCLP.
