I am thinking of ordering a new iMac this week, it doesn’t ship until end of November, I am just wondering would it ship with Big Sur or would Monterey come pre-installed?
 
Buying direct from Apple, generally speaking the latest OS or within a point update or two. Buying from a reseller, really depends on the machine and volume. I've bought from B&H in the past with previous major OS installed upon first turning machine on.

Awesome thanks for the info! Am hoping it will have Monterey straight out the box but we shall see lol ?
