macOS 15: New Smart Features
At the event, Apple will tell us everything about macOS 15, including its new name. People believe that this version will have many new AI features, which Microsoft has done with Windows 11.
If you haven’t updated to macOS 14 yet, you can read our guide on how to do it. We’ve also rounded up all the latest news and rumors about macOS 15.
iOS 18: Siri Gets Smarter and Lots of New Stuff
One of the big highlights of WWDC will be iOS 18. Apple’s digital assistant Siri is expected to get a major AI upgrade to make it better at communicating, understanding and personalizing your experience. This could be thanks to Apple working with OpenAI, using technology like ChatGPT in iOS 18.
iPadOS and macOS 15 are also expected to get new AI features. According to MacRumors, these features will be optional, and you’ll need an M1 chip or newer device to use them. This may mean that macOS 15 will only work on newer Apple Silicon Macs, which may be disappointing for people with older Intel-based Macs.
There are also rumors that Apple may build its own chatbot similar to ChatGPT with OpenAI. MacRumors suggests we could see AI-powered features like:
- AI-generated playlists in Apple Music
- AI help to write in pages
- AI help in creating slides in keynote
- AI features for writing code in Xcode
When Will macOS 15 Come Out?
Based on past releases, Apple will likely announce macOS 15 at WWDC 2024 and make a developer beta available soon after. The developer beta may cost money, but a free public beta is expected to roll out in July. The full release will likely happen in September or early October.
If you like to try new software early or if you are a developer, you can try the beta version. But remember, beta versions can have bugs and issues, so it’s best to use a spare Mac for testing. For most people, it’s best to wait for a stable public release. We will keep you updated on macOS 15 release date.
WWDC 2024: What’s the New macOS 15 Name?
We expect Apple to reveal the new macOS 15 name at WWDC 2024. Since 2013, macOS names have been inspired by places in California. Possible names Apple has trademarked include Redwood, Grizzly, Sequoia, Mammoth, Pacific, Rincon, Farallon, Miramar, Condor, Diablo and Shasta. Apple may also choose a new, untrademarked name.
Previous macOS versions have been named after California landmarks such as Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma.
macOS 15 Compatibility
Reports suggest that to use the new AI features in macOS 15, you’ll need a Mac with an M1 chip or newer. Some older Macs can still run macOS 15 but without AI features. Apple will likely explain more at WWDC. Currently, macOS Sonoma supports these models:
- iMac (2019 or later)
- iMac Pro (2017)
- Mac Pro (2019 or later)
- Mac Studio (2022 or later)
- MacBook Air (2018 or later)
- Mac mini (2018 or later)
- MacBook Pro (2018 or later)
MacOS 15: New Settings, Siri, and Gaming! WWDC 2024
Apple usually takes its time perfecting products and features before releasing them, leading to great success. Here are some of the features we hope to see in macOS 15:
- Redesigned System Settings: Many users are hoping for a new design for menus and apps, giving macOS a fresh look while keeping it easy to use.
- Smarter Siri: A better Siri for Mac can add significant value, even if it doesn’t match all the features of the mobile version.
- Better gaming: With the new M3 and M4 chips, Apple can make Macs better for gaming, attracting more game developers to create games for macOS.
WWDC 2024 promises to be an exciting event with many new announcements and innovations from Apple.
