It feels like someone at Apple couldn’t decide the best way forward to manage windows and so hedged their bets by giving users two. And Stage Manager – a mash-up of the Dock and Spaces – is deeply weird, given that the Mac… has a Dock and Spaces.

Good.īut Continuity Camera, where you use your iPhone as a webcam, feels like a tacit admission about how poor Mac (or, cough, Apple Studio Display) cameras are. The ‘smaller’ features include Apple finally paying attention to Mail (new search scheduled send remind me), beefing up Spotlight (Quick Look timer triggers musician info) and preparing to eradicate passwords. Now played by Jim Carrey, the latest macOS is a strange beast. (And if you’re wondering whether we forgot about tvOS this year… so did Apple.) macOS Ventura glues itself to your devices The new medications app looks handy, and there are new features for sleep and running tracking. Grr.Īs ever, Apple Watch is mostly about new faces (including a fancy astronomy one with live cloud coverage and a cartoon one with stupid animated numbers) and keeping you healthy. Conspicuous in its absence: an App Library Dock option. Fun times ahead when dad deletes the entire library or mum turns everyone bright blue.Įlsewhere: Maps is still playing catch up with Google Maps circa several years ago, Photos lets you snazzily drag and drop objects from pics, and Quick Note finally rocks up on iPhone, presumably with a note explaining why it’s a year late. The last of those things includes a feature that doubles as a threat: everyone will be forced to suffer everyone else’s edits. You can also personalise spatial audio, faff about with new notification types, and share photo libraries. With iOS 16, Apple’s letting you fiddle with the Lock Screen so you can add a row of tiny widgets. Yeah, it’s all numbers, but those numbers mean more power and more speed – without more heat and hammering your battery. You can get an extra two cores on the GPU and up to 24GB of RAM rather than 16GB. Imagine the M1, only more so (except when it comes to external displays – the M2 still only supports one). Apple’s rivals are therefore going to be thrilled that the company’s announced the M2. The tiny snag: those chips, when used in a laptop, tend to require enough power to set fire to your actual lap. Other chip manufacturers are keen to note they can create silicon that’s competitive with Apple’s M1. Otherwise, we’d take the new MacBook Air over this relic any day. If you need a fan for sustained tasks, it’s maybe worth a look. It has an M2 shoved inside the existing design, which means the Touch Bar whiffs up the place for another year.

Apple’s update to the 13in MacBook Pro was less exciting.
