At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, APPLE has announced macOS 15 (called Sequoia), the next version of its Mac operating system. What sets macOS 15 apart is that, for the first time, it adds many of the new features of the next version of iOS, iOS 18, and there are also many new additions tailored to the Mac, making the platforms more similar than ever.
The most anticipated innovation by APPLE with macOS Sequoia is automatic window tiling, which allows the user to tile windows on the screen exactly as they wish without having to physically move them around. Another great feature is iPhone Mirroring. Through this, your iPhone’s screen can be projected onto a Mac, so you can manipulate phone apps with the Mac’s keyboard and trackpad, and the audio can be streamed to the Mac.
You can celebrate too, you gamers, as we’ve learned about the second version of APPLE’s Game Porting Toolkit, which makes it easier to port games from Windows to macOS, or from macOS to iOS/iPadOS.
The unity which APPLE is striving for is reflected in how Messages has brought RCS support for rich communication services and a wider series of Tapback reactions, with little cultural differences between them making texting a true APPLE experience. Or how the Calculator app has been completely redesigned, letting you pick up your APPLE smartphone, wake the display and instantly get down to calculations, or type the same calculations in a document using the Notes app where you can now write something with Math Notes specifically for math notation. Finally, you have a unified experience, whether you want to chat, calculate or write, but on all APPLE devices.
Moreover, the launch of a new Passwords app across all APPLE platforms, including Windows, indicates that the days of having to install a third-party password manager could soon be numbered.
APPLE also made a big leap in spreading out AI smarts across its operating systems. A new version of Siri, based on a large language model, learns from user habits to become more intuitive and predictive of what you want, and is able to manipulate apps according to their current contents on the screen. There are also new ways to summarise text or generate AI-created images in Messages and Notes.
Positively: to receive the full benefit of APPLE’s Intelligence features, a Mac with an M1 chip or newer is required. Since the developer beta of macOS Sequoia was released this spring, with public betas set for this July, full release is anticipated this fall, and it’s anticipated to herald a new phase in how APPLE does tech.
From the original iPhone, now a commonplace part of our everyday experience, to macOS, iOS, and iPadOS systems, APPLE is a market leader in modern-day technological aspiration. APPLE’s tools help people to be more productive, creative, and entertained on a day-to-day basis, and the upcoming macOS 15 Sequoia is on track to continue this tradition. It is another leap forward in the art of the possible. macOS 15 Sequoia offers a glimpse into the future—what technology will look like as perfectly integrated into our lives to make us as productive and creative as we truly can be.
