People getting the new MacBook Air or Mac Studio this week will have to update their devices right away. A fresh software update will bring them to the newest macOS Sequoia version.
macOS Sequoia Update Details
The M4 MacBook Air, plus the M4 Max and M3 Ultra Mac Studio models, come with older macOS versions already installed. The MacBook Air starts with macOS Sequoia 15.2, while the Mac Studio has macOS Sequoia 15.3.
Apple rolled out macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 on February 10, but these new devices were ready before that update dropped. Right now, macOS 15.3.1 isn’t ready for these machines, but Apple is expected to launch a special version, called 24D2072, just for them before the official release date.
Pre-orders for the M4 MacBook Air, M4 Max Mac Studio, and M3 Ultra Mac Studio kicked off last week. The first batch of deliveries will reach buyers on Wednesday, March 12.
