At the forthcoming Worldwide Developers Conference, which is traditionally held in June of each year, Apple usually makes its upcoming operating systems public. Thus, the release of our first glimpse at macOS 15, also internally referred to as “Glow,” is only a few months away.
There are already certain details that we are aware of regarding Apple’s intentions for macOS 15, such as the fact that new AI functions will be included in the operating system when it launches.
macOS 15 rumored specifications and features
Apple releases software on a predictable schedule, and its operating systems, such as macOS, don’t require the assistance of Sherlock Holmes to figure out. Since OS X Mavericks in 2013, every macOS upgrade has been released in the fall.
Every upgrade since has been released between September and November, with the current operating system, macOS Sonoma, being the exception. That provides a fairly firm timeline for the release of macOS 15, but as of right now, we are unable to provide more specifics.
There might be important new features that aren’t widely known that will launch with macOS 15. “Ambitious and compelling, with major new features and designs, in addition to security and performance improvements,” is how Mark Gurman of Bloomberg has described Apple’s next operating system. While it doesn’t provide any precise information, this does offer us an indication of what to anticipate with the release of macOS 15.
Undoubtedly, Apple has redesigned macOS to resemble iOS and iPadOS in more recent iterations, and this isn’t always a negative thing. Nonetheless, it is evident that Apple made a mistake when redesigning the System Settings app. Users will have a more difficult time finding the computer settings that they usually need. Keyboard settings are located at number 29 from the top of the settings page list, while display controls are located at number 17.
Also, toggles like Screen Time, Focus, and Notifications appear higher on the list since they are more significant to mobile users than desktop users. While rearranging the items in System Settings to make it more user-friendly for macOS users is not what we’re requesting, Apple should reconsider going back to System Preferences.
The Health app, which lets users see their fitness and health data on a huge screen, was eventually released by Apple on the iPad. Still, because not everyone owns an iPad, a Mac software for health would be fantastic.
For individuals who use a Mac as their large screen for exercise, it is difficult to work out comfortably because the Fitness software is currently unavailable on macOS. While it is possible for users to rely on AirPlay to mirror workout movies from iOS to macOS, the process is a little shaky and the workout stats aren’t always visible. Three apps would be great to have on macOS 15, but the Translation app is also absent.
On Monday, June 10, a peek of macOS 15 will be shown during the WWDC 2024 keynote. On the same day, developers will receive the first beta, and later in the summer, a public beta is anticipated.
