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.
