macOS Sequoia 15.6 now available with an important bug fix

After a little more than a month and a few beta and RC versions, Apple has now released macOS Sequoia 15.6 for download. Here’s what’s new.

macOS 15.6 brings an important Apple Configurator bug fix

While macOS 15.6 doesn’t introduce big user-facing features, it does come with the usual security updates and general performance improvements, as well as an important bug fix:

Fixed: Finder and Apple Configurator may be unable to successfully restore some devices from DFU mode. (153476458)

This means that Macs running a previous system version could fail to properly restore devices from DFU mode, resulting in a bricked device and a trip to an Apple Store or support center.

It is possible that this may be the last macOS 15.x update before the official release of macOS Tahoe 26.

Last year, Apple released macOS 14.7 on the same day that macOS 15 was released, so we could still see a beta of macOS 15.7 ahead of a simultaneous release of macOS Tahoe 26 and macOS 15.7.

Alongside the release of macOS 15.6, Apple also released the official versions of:

  • iOS 18.6
  • iPadOS 18.6
  • tvOS 18.6
  • watchOS 11.6
  • HomePod 18.6
  • visionOS 2.6
