Apple has unveiled macOS Sequoia, the latest operating system for Mac computers, at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. This new version, also known as macOS 15, introduces a range of features designed to enhance user experience and productivity. Key highlights include iPhone Mirroring, improved Safari browser functionalities, and advanced artificial intelligence tools set to roll out this fall.
The iPhone Mirroring feature allows seamless integration between Mac and iPhone, enabling users to access their iPhone directly from their Mac, enhancing multitasking capabilities. The Safari browser has been updated with an AI-driven Highlights feature that extracts relevant information from web pages, making it easier to navigate through content. Additionally, the redesigned reading mode reduces distractions, presenting articles in a more user-friendly format.
Another noteworthy addition is the Window Formatting feature, which streamlines multitasking by suggesting optimal window arrangements. Enhancements to video conferencing tools, such as presenter preview in FaceTime and Zoom, offer users more control over their shared content during calls. The new passwords app replaces Keychain, providing a centralized solution for managing various account credentials securely across multiple platforms.
In terms of artificial intelligence, macOS Sequoia will feature new writing tools that assist users in drafting and proofreading documents. The Summarize tool simplifies the process of condensing lengthy texts, while the Image Playground allows users to create animated images. For photography enthusiasts, the Customize Your Memories feature offers a personalized storytelling experience by curating photos based on user descriptions.
To install the public beta of macOS Sequoia, users should back up their files and join Apple’s beta program. The installation process involves navigating to System Settings and selecting the beta update option. With compatibility for various Mac models, users can enjoy the new features and enhancements that macOS Sequoia brings to their devices.
