Unsupported Mac ?

Hi,


I wish to start learning and develop App for Mac device. I.e. xCode and Swift. I got a MacBook Pro 17” 2011 with High Sierra installed. A Very fast machine.


I even tried to boot on a LIVE CD UBUNTU 20.04 and everything works fine.


But with Monterey 12.6.1 Camera (FaceTime) and Bluetooth (Airdrop) bug.


So why such a powerful hardware can’t get the latest MacOS ?


Furthermore I have read that app with xCode and Swift versions for High Sierra might not run on new Mac device.


Don’t you think it is inadmissible to trash such a nice piece of hardware ?


And the WebSite SellYourMac evaluate the Laptop at a ridiculous $39 !!!





Therefore I am asking Apple and the developers to cease this politic of Programmed Obsolescence !! Because it is not environment friendly.


Thank you
