I bought my Macbook in November 2024, and it says it was manufactured in February 2025!

I had the logic board replaced in April 2025 under warranty, so it's showing the logic board's manufactured date, which makes sense I suppose.

Yeah, when is a multi-part system really manufactured? Could get really philosophical.

Still just the one colour on Golden Gate

Okay, I'm dealing with it by just setting the default folder color to blue (which is not the default blue color, but rather a darker one). That way, it looks good both in light and dark mode.

The other alternative was using grey for folders, which I still haven't discarded.

Or... a real folder color:

Are you sure that this is correct? And where does this information come from?

Please try this. Hope you will be redirected to English page:

Of course I'm sure. And the info came from the post I quoted. The warranty stuff has nothing to do with this.

Well, that's strange! I'll take a look at that on my M4 Air. It's strange, though.

Or it's simply a bug!

Or Apple changed it somehow. Instead of using the "old" date it uses now the most current date.

I remember when back in the day your logic board got exchanged the employees at Apple store flashed the firmware so that your "former" information went its way to the new one. Including the serial number.

I know this well because someone wrote that he noticed that in "About this Mac" no serial number was shown after the logic board got replaced.
