Included Software

macOS: Included Software

Your Apple Mac arrives preloaded with a suite of powerful applications, designed to enhance your digital life and provide a seamless user experience. It's important to note that depending on whether your Mac is a 2018 model or older, or a 2019 model or newer, the specific suite of pre-installed applications may vary slightly. The continuously evolving ecosystem of Apple means that they frequently update their software offerings, including the bundle of pre-installed applications.

Keep in mind, Apple's ongoing commitment to enhancing the user experience means the company often changes the included apps and system requirements for new models. Consequently, we can't guarantee that these guides will reflect the exact app loadout of your device. However, they should provide you with a good sense of what to expect.
