Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference also serves to introduce some of the most interesting new features that will come to one of its star operating systems: macOS. Against all odds, at this year’s WWDC, the company announced that it will be called macOS Ventura.
macOS Ventura, named after Ventura County, California, will introduce new features to improve productivity and collaboration for its users. The Visual Organizer will allow us to work on several projects at the same time, while sharing Safari tabs with others more easily.
In addition to a new Continuity Camera, which lets you use iPhone’s rear camera as a webcam with two different views, Apple also introduced improvements to Spotlight, Live Text, Visual Finder, Mail and Messages. There are also new features that improve privacy.
Why does all this sound so tempting? Don’t get too excited, because you won’t be able to enjoy any of it without a Mac or MacBook that’s compatible with macOS Ventura. If not, it may be time to change it.
