If you’re eager to get your hands on the public release of Apple’s upcoming macOS Sequoia operating system, you might not have that long to wait.
Per internal documentation obtained by MacRumors, macOS 15.0 Sequoia may be officially released to the public by mid-September. The release dates of major macOS updates in recent years are listed below:
OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) – October 22, 2013
OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) – October 16, 2014
OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) – September 30, 2015
macOS 10.12 (Sierra) – September 20, 2016
macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) – September 25, 2017
macOS 10.14 (Mojave) – September 24, 2018
macOS 10.15 (Catalina) – October 7, 2019
macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) – November 12, 2020
macOS 12.0 (Monterey) – October 25, 2021
macOS 13.0 (Ventura) – October 24, 2022
macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) – September 26, 2023
The release of the operating system could be the earliest since MacOS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), which was released on July 25, 2012.
The new annual version of iOS has historically always been released at least a week before the new version of macOS. Sometimes, Apple leaves a considerable gap between the releases; in 2020, the company left nearly two months between the release of iOS 14 (September 16, 2020) and macOS Big Sur (November 12, 2020).
Apple is expected to comment on the macOS Sequoia release at the “It’s Glowtime” press event later today, wherein the company is also set to unveil the iPhone 16 lineup, new Apple Watch models, and the fourth-generation AirPods.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
