New MacBook Air and Mac Studio users who are expecting one of the machines later this week will need to install a day one software update to upgrade to the latest version of macOS Sequoia.The M4 MacBook Air and M4 Max and M3 Ultra Mac Studio models will come with older versions of macOS installed.The MacBook Air models appear to ship with macOS Sequoia 15.2, while the Mac Studio models have macOS Sequoia 15.3 installed.
Apple released macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 back on February 10, but the Mac Studio and MacBook Air were clearly prepared for launch before that update came out.macOS 15.3.1 is not available for the new machines just yet, but Apple is likely to release a new 24D2072 variant for the upcoming Macs ahead of their launch date.Pre-orders for the M4 MacBook Air, M4 Max Mac Studio, and M3 Ultra Mac Studio began last week, and the first shipments are set to arrive to customers on Wednesday, March 12.
