MacBook Air and Pro models that feature any of Apple ’s M-series chips will turn on automatically when you open the lid or connect it to power.

Apple has issued a fix for the problem, but sadly, it doesn’t come in the form of a toggle that you can switch on and off in the Settings app.

The procedure below only applies to Macs with Apple silicon that run macOS Sequoia or later.
