Apple moved away from OpenGL support after it began to focus on its proprietary Metal graphics API. That means since macOS Mavericks in 2013, Apple has been conformant with OpenGL 4.1 even though it officially deprecated support for the standard in 2018.
The Asahi Linux project announced a new milestone was met with its work on conformant GPU drivers. After releasing an OpenGL ES 3.1 conformant driver in August 2022, the project has now surpassed Apple’s implementation by being conformant with OpenGL ES 3.1 and OpenGL 4.6.
