All three new products will likely come with the current versions of their operating systems pre-installed. It's not yet clear what the new versions of iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS will include, but day one updates typically include basic bug fixes.
The updated iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro are now available for pre-order and will begin shipping to customers and in stores on Wednesday, October 22.
Day-one software updates are a common practice for Apple, as they allow it to fix any issues that are discovered after devices are manufactured but before they reach consumers. This ensures that users have the best possible experience from the moment they open their new devices.
