Pre-installed macOS Versions on Latest Devices
The all-new M4 models of the MacBook Air and both M4 Max and M3 Ultra versions of the Mac Studio will initially arrive with earlier versions of macOS. Specifically, the MacBook Airs are expected to have macOS Sequoia version 15.2 pre-installed while the Macs in the Studio lineup come equipped with version 15.3.
Notably, Apple rolled out an update—macOS Sequoia version 15.3.1—on February 10; however, these new machines were likely scheduled for release prior to this upgrade becoming available. Although version 15.3.1 is not yet accessible for these devices at launch time, it’s anticipated that a fresh variant labeled as “24D2072” may be issued before their official introduction.
Order Details and Expected Delivery Dates
Pre-orders commenced last week for both M4 models of the MacBook Air as well as M4 Max and M3 Ultra variants of the Mac Studio devices. Customers can expect their first deliveries on March 12.
