macOS Sequoia rumored to arrive in mid-September

Apple’s strategic approach to AI computers is a distinct one.

macOS Sequoia, the newest version of the operating system that runs on the Mac, is currently set to launch in mid-September, according to MacRumors.

New capabilities of the upgraded operating system include iPhone Mirroring, which expands Continuity by enabling full access to and control of iPhone directly from macOS. Safari gets another big update with the new Highlights feature for effortless information discovery on webpages while browsing. 

macOS Sequoia makes Continuity even more magical with iPhone Mirroring, which lets users wirelessly use their iPhone right from their Mac.

A new Passwords app purportedly makes it even easier to access passwords and organize credentials all in one place. Gaming advances with a more immersive experience, as well as a breadth of new titles, including Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Frostpunk 2, and more.

macOS Sequoia also introduces Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver “intelligence that’s incredibly useful and relevant. Built with privacy from the ground up.” Apple Intelligence is deeply integrated into macOS Sequoia, iOS 18, and iPadOS 18. It understands and creates language and images, takes action across apps, and draws from personal context, simplifying and accelerating everyday tasks. 

Apple Intelligence powers Writing Tools like Rewrite, which allows users to choose from different versions of what they have written, adjusting the tone to suit the audience and task at hand.

Taking full advantage of the power of Apple silicon and the Neural Engine, Apple Intelligence will be supported by every Mac with an M-series chip. You can read more details about macOS Sequoia here.
