MacOS Sequoia 15.2 Includes References to Next Year’s M4 MacBook Air Models
Juli Clover at MacRumors:
Apple today made a mistake with its macOS Sequoia 15.2 update,
releasing the software for two Macs that have yet to be launched.
There is a software file for “Mac16,12” and “Mac16,13,” which are
upcoming MacBook Air models.
The leaked software references the “MacBook Air (13-inch, M4,
2025)” and the “MacBook Air (15-inch, M4, 2025),” confirming that
new M4 MacBook Air models are in development and are likely not
too far off from launching.
It’s been widely rumored that Apple is working to bring the M4
chips to its entire Mac lineup, and the MacBook Air is expected to
get an M4 refresh in the spring of 2025, so sometime between March
and June.
Were these references not in the 15.2 betas? If not, what a weird mistake to happen only in the release builds. But regardless, even inside Apple, I’d file this under “no big whoop”. Of course there are going to be M4-based MacBook Airs next year. The only question is when. My guess is March, just like last year.
