Apple's macOS 15 Sequoia Update No More Double Storage Required for App Installation

TapTechNews June 26th. Apple updated its support documentation, stating that starting from the macOS 15 Sequoia system, downloading and installing apps from the Mac App Store no longer requires double the local available storage space.

Apple stated that starting from the macOS 15 Sequoia system, it adjusted the storage space requirements for downloading and installing apps to the final installed size of the app plus a small buffer zone. Developers should consider this change when sending any information about size requirements.

The adjustment of macOS 15 Sequoia will improve the user experience, especially in the case of needing to carry large game scenarios. TapTechNews note: If users want to download a certain large game in the macOS 14 Sonoma system, they must ensure that there is double the available space, which means users need to reserve dozens or even hundreds of gigabytes of space.

Apple recently released the second beta version of macOS 15 Sequoia and is expected to launch the public beta version in July and officially release it in autumn.
