macOS users are in for a treat as Apple revealed the latest macOS Ventura over at the WWDC22 yearly conference that promises to deliver unmatched productivity. Let’s get into what’s new and exciting.
First thing first, the stage lights are blasting towards the latest kid in the studio, the Stage Manager feature. Coming in to literally be a manager of software, it automatically organizes open apps and windows so that users can concentrate on their current work while still seeing everything else in a single glance.
Aside from properly arranging things, users can also now group windows together in cases where a project requires different apps to work with. Properly integrated with existing macOS functions like Mission Control and Spaces, you can now navigate to your desktop with just a single click.
Now we’re talking. The Continuity Camera essentially turns your iPhone into a webcam that unlocks additional functions that were never seen on macOS before. Examples like Center Stage, Portrait Mode, and Studio Lights are all usable from the get-go. Additionally, the Ultra-Wide camera can be utilized by Desk View which shows the camera and desktop in a single setting which is great for live streaming.
All in all, everything else is connected wireless and smartly so you don’t even need to wake your iPhone. To touch it all up, macOS Ventura is now part of the seamless FaceTime transition Handoff to allow hitchless conversations.
macOS Ventura also brings out the “sharing is caring” spirit by allowing shared Tab Groups to be browsed together within Safari where engagement is just a key tap away from Messages, FaceTime calls, or a simple shared Start Page. Meanwhile, Mail has its underhood revamped to be more relevant and accurate with several Quality-of-Life checks added in as well such as canceling an email after hitting Send, attachment detection and reminder, and even automatic follow-up suggestions to prior emails.
To allow more extensive management, Messages on the Mac can now be edited or undo, marked as unread, or recovered in the case of accidental deletes while collaborations are simplified down to an agreement and participants will be quickly grouped where files and clipboards can be pasted by drag and drop action. If needed, the SharePlay sessions can be your part of the collaboration effort as well.
The updated design is crossing into Spotlight as well to match a more consistent experience across multiple form factors of Apple devices where users can now find images in their photo library, across the system, and on the web. They can even search for their photos by location, people, scenes, or objects, and Live Text lets them search by text inside images. Generally speaking, it is the one hub you need to get everything done, and it is now better than ever.
Similar to iOS 16, the iCloud Shared Photo Library can now hosts 6 family members’ worth of treasured memories, separately for clean filing, or be placed into the Shared Library to have everyone add, delete, edit, or favorite the photos and videos.
After all these years, Apple is finally confident and open about running triple-A titles with the Apple Silicon. From GRID Legends to Resident Evil Village, there’s more to be coming because the penultimate translation layer, Metal 3, is packed with stuff to make Mac Gaming great again. Through MetalFX Upscaling, devs can apply resolution scaling and temporal anti-aliasing with fewer frames while the new Fast Resource Loading API basically shortens the pathway for data to move from storage to the GPU.
