While Apple didn’t announce any changes to its macOS Sonoma 14.6 update beyond a slew of security patches and bug fixes, there was an apparent upside: the entry-level M3 MacBook Pro now supports a second external display
Sonoma 14.6 includes the ability for the 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro to run two external displays up to 5K at 60Hz (for example, two Apple Studio Displays) – the same ability that was previously made available for the M3 MacBook Air. Prior to the update, non-Pro/Max MacBook Pro models could run only one external display, though Apple promised support in March.
As nifty as this may be, the MacBook Pro will have to be in “clamshell” mode with its lid closed to power both displays. If the lid is opened, one of the displays will be disconnected once the notebook turns on. The external displays also must support a video connection over USB-C or Thunderbolt 3.
Still, it’s a handy update.
