Overview

  • macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 and macOS Sonoma 14.8.2 deliver important security fixes and do not add new features or bug fixes.
  • The updates are available to Macs not running macOS Tahoe, with Safari 26.1 offered alongside them.
  • Several reports say the info button in the “Also Available” panel can preselect macOS Tahoe 26.1, which has led to accidental upgrades.
  • Advisers recommend opening the ⓘ panel to explicitly choose Sequoia or Sonoma and Safari, deselecting Tahoe, and backing up with Time Machine before updating.
  • Apple simultaneously shipped macOS Tahoe 26.1 and 26.1 updates across iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS, and full macOS installers are available from Apple’s CDN.
