MacBook Air volume control key layout appears reversed

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a new MacBook Air and noticed something odd about the volume control keys on the keyboard. On all of my previous MacBook devices (including my last MacBook Pro), the function keys were like this:

F10: Mute

F11: Volume Down

F12: Volume Up

But on my new MacBook Air, the layout seems reversed:

F10 Volume Up

F11 Volume Down

F12 Mute

Is this the expected layout on the latest MacBook Air models (2025, M4)? I am honestly a bit confused and I need to know if there is a way to verify that my MacBook Air is an original Apple device? Could it be due to a keyboard settings or a regional keyboard layout?

PS: I got my previous MacBook Pro from the US but this one is from the middle-east.

I appreciate any assistance or guidance to this matter

Thank you
