Apple is preparing day-one software updates for its new iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro models.

iPadOS 26.0.1 (23A8464), macOS 26.0.1 (25A8364), and visionOS 26.0.1 (23M8340) should be available upon the launch of the new iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro, which each feature the M5 chip.

All three of the new devices likely have the current versions of their operating systems pre-installed. It is not yet clear what's in the new versions of iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, but day-one updates usually include essential bug fixes.

The updated iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro are now available to pre-order, and will begin arriving to customers and launch in stores on Wednesday, October 22.

Since this is written a little confusingly: those models ship with a special build of 26.0.0 that includes driver support for them. Everyone else already has 26.0.1. Those models will then, on day one, get an update to a special build of 26.0.1.

For example, regular iPads went from 26.0.0 23A341 to 26.0.1 23A355. But the iPad Pro (M5) will go from 26.0.0 23A8330 to 26.0.1 23A8464.

Presumably, either 26.0.2 or 26.1.0 will unify them.

What ever happened to that new thing where employees at the store could take the unopened box and update it without opening?
 
Pretty sure this is such a normal thing that it doesn’t need an article for it. Also: you’ll have to charge your device before fully using it

Not just Apple. Seems like every product I buy does and I don't mind it. I prefer updates to leaving things slightly broken for a month before the first update comes.

Because Apple knows their OSes 26.0 ARE broken and they don’t want to be seen shipping products with broken software… :p

From Wikipedia: “A scam, or a confidence trick, is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust. Confidence tricks exploit victims using a combination of the victim's credulity, naivety, compassion, vanity, confidence, ….. Researchers have defined confidence tricks as "a distinctive species of fraudulent conduct ... intending to further voluntary exchanges that are not mutually beneficial", as they "benefit con operators at the expense of their victims (the 'marks')".

Their OS's are fine, it's working for millions of people myself included.

All software has bugs, updates fix those, updates are a good thing yet for some reason everyone as of late equates updates with broken software.

We could all go to the past where the updates occurred and no one but new customers got them. Software and video games of the past shipped with bugs all the time but since there was no way to do a remote update, people just got stuck with the version that was out when they bought it while new customers got the fixes.
