The macOS Mojave release date is September 24th. Although not confirmed yet, you can expect it will arrive around 10 AM Pacific, 1 PM Eastern.

Apple announced a host of features that work alongside the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, so it makes sense to see the macOS 10.14 release date arrive near the iOS 12 release date, which is September 17th.

macOS Mojave Compatibility

The new macOS 10.14 update is coming to a wide range of Apple computers. The update will run on Macs introduced in mid-2012 or later, plus 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro models with recommended Metal-capable graphics cards.
