Apple released a new version of macOS earlier this month. Dubbed “Sequoia,” it touts a variety of user interface and networking improvements (compatibility issues notwithstanding) and support for AI-enhanced functionality. But with little improvement to your creative business workflow, updating to a new major version release is likely not advised and would do more harm than good.
Not every Apple computer can run the resource-intensive operating system, and Intel-based models are incompatible with Apple Intelligence. As macOS Sequoia was only recently released, be sure to first confirm with your IT teams if you should be upgrading at this time. Then check to make sure your computer is on this list:
MacBook Air M3 2024
MacBook Air M2 2023
MacBook Air M2 2022
