macOS Sequoia 15.0 - Is it worth it to update on MacBook Air 13inch 2024 M3???

Hi! Let me know your thoughts if it's worth it to upgrade to macOS Sequoia 15.0 on MacBook Air 13inch 2024 M3. I was waiting for this update for so long because since I bought this M3 MacBook I've been experiencing a quick drain in the battery with the latest Sonoma OS. The battery does not last long as advertised (even with just Safari running and no any other video playing plus I haven't downloaded other apps and I already did all the battery optimization etc).


I'd appreciate your feedback on this new Sequoia update! Thanks!!

I think I would wait a while if I were you, it seems to be very buggy. I use a bluetooth keyboard and after a restart I have to use a hardwired keyboard to sign in, after that I can use my regular keyboard. And that's just one of the bugs, after it has been on screensaver I have to sign in, I had it set for 8 hours before but you can't control it now. Something about screen mirroring. I don't believe this update was quite ready for primetime.

I have had no issue with macOS 15 upgrade.


There are limited feature changes, it seems more smooth / solidifying the OS
