MacBook Pro 2016: the newest macOS it can run

Every MacBook Pro sold in 2016, what Apple supports, what OpenCore Legacy Patcher adds, and what to expect on each macOS version. Generated from the OCLP 3.0.0 source.

Short answer

Apple stopped at macOS Monterey. With OpenCore Legacy Patcher the MacBook Pro 2016 runs macOS Big Sur through macOS Tahoe 26. Our pick for most people: macOS Sequoia. No Intel Mac can run macOS 27.

Which MacBook Pro 2016 do you have?

Apple sold 3 different models as the MacBook Pro 2016. They can behave differently with OCLP, so check your model identifier: choose Apple menu > About This Mac, then More Info > System Report, and read Model Identifier. Or open Terminal and run sysctl hw.model

The topics that come up most, by keyword match in the title and text: install or update (1). These are owners' reports, not confirmed bugs, and all of them were filed on OCLP versions from before 2024, so many describe problems that have since been fixed.

Installing on the MacBook Pro 2016

Choose MacBookPro13,1 or MacBookPro13,2 or MacBookPro13,3 as the target model when OCLP builds OpenCore (it detects it automatically when you run OCLP on this Mac). Before that, install the newest macOS Apple offers for it, macOS Monterey, so the firmware is current. The steps themselves are the same for every Mac: How to install OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Common questions

What does OCLP patch on a MacBook Pro 2016 running Tahoe?

The root patches for its hardware: Intel Skylake, Modern Wireless, Modern Audio, PCIe FaceTime Camera, T1 Security Chip and AMD Polaris. Which one applies depends on the model identifier; the table above lists each. Updates to macOS remove them, and Post-Install Root Patch puts them back.

What is the latest macOS for a MacBook Pro 2016?

Officially, macOS Monterey. With OCLP: macOS Tahoe 26.7.2. macOS 27 does not support any Intel Mac.
