macOS Monterey to be available on Monday, Oct. 25

Apple says macOS Monterey will be available on Monday, Oct. 25. Probably the biggest features to be coming to Macs with Monterey are:

• A redesigned Safari browser with Tab Groups
• Shortcuts on the Mac, replacing (eventually) Automator
• QuickNotes
• Focus
• FaceTime with Spatial Audio, Voice Isolation, Wide Spectrum, and Portrait Mode
• SharePlay to share experiences during FaceTime calls (though it won’t be available in the first non-beta version of Monterey)
• Shared With You to highlight items others share with you
• Universal Control, allowing a Mac keyboard and mouse/trackpad to control an iPad (though it won’t be available in the first non-beta version of Monterey)
• AirPlay to Mac (“Sherlocking” a number of third-party apps)
