Apple last night announced what the company has in store for us in terms of software at the WWDC 2021 keynote conference. The Cupertino-based giant announced new operating systems for its devices including the iPhone, iPad, Mac computers, Apple Watch, and Apple TV including iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey, WatchOS 8, and tvOS 15. Among the newly announced softwares comes the latest version of macOS named Monterey, which has started rolling out for developers to try out on for testing. New features on the latest macOS include a redesigned Safari browser, new shortcuts, new features for FaceTime (similar to iOS), a Universal Control feature, the new Focus mode, Quick Notes, AirPlay to Mac, and more.
The first public beta for macOS Monterey will be launched in July, Apple said last night. The company has said that macOS Monterey will be available for systems as old as the Mac Pro from 2013. This means that only the Mac computers that were launched after the 2015 MacBook will support macOS Monterey. MacOS Monterey comes as the 12th version of macOS, as macOS Big Sur was the 11th version of Apple?s software. Let us take a look at what all systems will support macOS Monterey once it starts rolling out.
