Will there be any update for Mac mini 2014 beyond macOS Monterey 12.7.6?

As of this morning, the App Store shows 12.7.6:

Terminal shows 12.7.4:

Title: macOS Monterey, Version: 12.7.4, Size: 12117810KiB, Build: 21H1123

I have not downloaded either one to check if the downloaded installers actually install the version listed.

The Apple security releases page you linked lists 12.7.6, 12.7.5, 12.7.4 and 12.7.3 but they merely lead to descriptions of the security content of each release, not downloads.

Pls. clarify what you meant by "pointed to this thread regarding Monterey 12.7.6 listed here and since changed to 12.7.5" ... what thread(s)?

Hello to you both

This is getting rather confusing to me as to what is really the current Monterey

Was in communications to Joe C and pointed to this thread regarding Monterey 12.7.6 listed here and since changed to 12.7.5

Can not verify via the Terminal command - machine too new

About the security content of macOS Monterey 12.7.5

That Mac cannot be updated past Monterey. No update to Ventura, Sonoma, or Sequoia is, or will be, forthcoming.

Apple has 12.7.4 incorrectly labeled as 12.7.6 for download so it can not be installed on top of updated 12.7.6 if someone needs to do that (as checked Jan 12 2025).

But that 12.7.4 can be updated to 12.7.6 via System Settings > Software Update.

This is what is reported available via softwareupdate today. For Monterey there is only 12.7.4. It does not appear that there is any 12.7.6 update.

AppStore download page labels it as 12.7.6 but at least a few months ago it was really 12.7.4.

For some time now, 12.7.4 has been the only available update for Monterey.

12.7.6 was available in the past but for some reason has "gone missing" from possible updates.

I do not believe so. Apple appears to now only support Ventura, Sonoma and Sequoia.

Thank you and appreciated

Will bring this to " Our Host "
