1) Exact regex — Matches major model identifier numbers based on Apple's knowledge base article (more accurate):

^(Mac(1[34]|BookPro1[4-8]|BookAir([89]|10)|Pro7|Book10)|iMac(Pro1|(1[89]|2[01]))|Macmini[89]),\d+$

2) Current or higher regex — Matches model identifiers based on Apple's knowledge base article and may match higher versions before this regex is updated (more future-proof).

^(Mac(1[3-9]|BookPro1[4-8]|BookAir([89]|10)|Pro[7-9]|Book\d{2,})|iMac(Pro\d+|(1[89]|[2-9]\d))|Macmini[89]),\d+$

Current or higher regexes aren't available for some models where Apple has used the same model identifier schema for multiple models.

Either regex will match any of the supported following model identifiers:

Hey @grahampugh! Can you point me to any documentation for this? It’s not on Apple’s pages listing model identifiers that I’ve found.

Best I can find quickly is https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2022/11/17/downloading-macos-ipsw-files-for-use-with-mac-virtual-machines-on-apple-silicon-macs/

Every VM on Apple Silicon has this type of model identifier. I found that if I don't include it in my reflex, I'm getting spurious results in my incompatibility smart groups.

Suggestion: While the regexes already cover them, add text for the 2023 models:

Mac Mini (2023):
Mac14,3
Mac14,12

Mac Pro (2023):
Mac14,8

Mac Studio (2023):
Mac14,13
Mac14,14

MacBook Air (2023):
Mac14,2
Mac14,15

MacBook Pro (2023):
Mac14,5
Mac14,9
Mac14,6
Mac14,10
