![]() More details will be posted to this page on the company's website once Mountain Lion is released. People who purchase a new Mac on or after June 11 are eligible for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion. The upgrade will be available as a download from the Mac App Store.Īpple has not said whether it will repeat last year's offer of physical media for the upgrade - in 2011 it sold a USB flash drive containing Lion for $69 - but those who have slow dial-up connections or metered links to the Internet have other options, including using an Apple retail store's Wi-Fi connection, to download the 3GB+ Mountain Lion file. OS X 10.8 will be priced at $19.99, a 33% discount from last year's Lion, and half what rival Microsoft plans to charge for its upgrade to Windows 8 later this year. ![]() Customers running OS X Snow Leopard or Lion can upgrade to the new edition. So far, the only official word from Apple is that Mountain Lion will debut some time this month. If Apple follows past practice, Oppenheimer will use the earnings call in three weeks to set the release date for Mountain Lion. "We are very excited to be launching Mac OS X Lion tomorrow," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO, during the early stages of the earnings call last year.Īpple dutifully launched Lion early Wednesday, July 20, from the Mac App Store.
