Arrr! Be ye settlin' fer a shiny new M3 Mac, matey? Apple be quick to send ye a macOS Sonoma update to make it sail smoother!
2023-11-03
Arrr, ye scurvy dogs who be possessin' the latest M3 MacBooks and iMacs, be advisin' ye to install an essential macOS Sonoma update, lest ye be yearnin' fer a treasure trove of optimized performance and security.
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, if ye be plannin' on ownin' any o' the new M3, M3 Pro, or M3 Max MacBook Pro or iMac models that were announced durin' Apple's October Scary Fast event, ye'll need to install an update for macOS Sonoma immediately when ye get yer device. Arrr!All o' the new devices be expected to arrive with a custom version o' macOS Sonoma 14.1, build 23B2073. Once ye begin to set up yer new device, ye should then follow that up by downloadin' the newer version, build 23B2077, and install it. Apple released macOS Sonoma 14.1, the very first update for macOS Sonoma, on October 25 just ahead o' the Scary Fast event, and the current macOS Sonoma version that freshly-built Macs will ship with be build 23B74.
As explained by AppleInsider, Apple has not yet put out release notes for the custom update macOS Sonoma build. However, it be expected that it'll include the most up to date bug fixes and performance upgrades probably to do with the M3 processor chip, me hearties!
This ain't a cause to panic, according to MacRumors, because we see what be known as day one updates fairly often. Day one updates just mean updates that be released upon the launch o' a product (on day one o' users havin' them). This happens because as the devices be bein' manufactured, they have to be prepared, packaged, and shipped with what ends up bein' a slightly older version o' macOS.
In the future, it be feasible that new Macs will automatically check for an update as soon as they're booted up for the first time, or even while still in the box. Reportedly, Apple has engineered a way to do this for the very newest iPhone models, which can upgrade their software to the newest iOS versions before leavin' the Apple store.
Apple opened up orderin' for the new Mac M3 devices after its Scary Fast event and ye can order one now. The first M3 Macs be expected to start arrivin' to customers on November 7, namely the MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3), MacBook Pro 16-inch (M3), and iMac (M3). However, certain configurations o' MacBooks Pro laptops will be delivered later in the month.
It be good to see Apple lookin' out for users, and frequent updates have become an industry standard for operatin' systems and browsers, as well as other software - and as I mentioned earlier, a day one patch doesn't necessarily mean a problem has been found at the last minute. Instead, it can ensure yer new device has all the latest features and be fully protected as well, me mateys!
