The latest iteration of macOS, set to debut in mid-September, has been uncovered. While Apple’s iOS updates consistently arrive in September, the company’s approach to launching macOS updates is more varied, with recent releases occurring in September, October, and November.
Apple is poised to release macOS Sequoia within the next 12 months, departing from its traditional schedule and accelerating the rollout to coincide with its usual summer timeframe instead of waiting until October. Ensuring that all updates are introduced simultaneously across platforms guarantees seamless integration of cross-platform capabilities, such as mirroring, in line with intended functionality. A groundbreaking feature, iPhone Mirroring now allows iPhone users running iOS 18 to seamlessly control their devices using a Mac with macOS Sequoia.
The macOS Sequoia update introduces innovative features, including enhanced window tiling functionality, a dedicated Passwords app, and improvements to Safari, Messages, Maps, Notes, and more.
Although Apple Intelligence options are initially absent from the launch of macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, they will be introduced later through subsequent updates, specifically iOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1? We are eagerly anticipating the launch of these updates in October.
As Apple approaches the final stages of beta testing for macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, anticipation builds ahead of this year’s autumnal iPhone-centric event. Apple’s annual event likely takes place on September 10, given its consistent timing over recent years. If this is indeed the expected release date, Apple might unveil new iPhones on a regular basis starting around September 20? With a consistent pattern of releasing new iOS updates the Wednesday preceding iPhone launches, it’s plausible to anticipate iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia hitting stores on September 18, given that timeline.
While there is some flexibility surrounding dates, Apple could potentially schedule the event later in September, thereby altering the predicted release date of their software. Apple may announce its iPhone event as early as next week.
