Η Apple ξεκίνησε πριν από λίγη ώρα την διανομή του μεγάλου update για το λειτουργικό σύστημα των υπολογιστών Mac, με το macOS Sonoma να εμφανίζεται στην ενότητα Software Update του System Setting στα iMac (2019 και έπειτα), iMac Pro, Mac mini (2018 και έπειτα), MacBook Pro (2018 και έπειτα), Mac Pro (2019 και έπειτα) και Mac Studio.
Το macOS Sonoma προσθέτει τα διαδραστικά widgets και στους υπολογιστές της εταιρείας, τα οποία μπορείς να βλέπεις και να αλληλεπιδρά μαζί τους ακόμα και μέσω των αντίστοιχων στα iPhone χάριν στην λειτουργία Continuity. Προστίθεται, επίσης, πληθώρα από screensavers που θυμίζουν αυτά του Apple TV με slow motion s από διάφορες τοποθεσίες σε όλο τον κόσμο (μαζί με τα αντίστοιχα wallpapers).
Ακόμη, το macOS Sonoma φέρνει το Game Mode στα Mac με επεξεργαστές Apple Silicon (M1, M2) που βελτιστοποιεί την απόδοση των CPU και GPU για gaming, ενώ οι τηλεδιασκέψεις ενισχύονται σημαντικά με την προσθήκη του Presenter Overlay και το βελτιωμένο Screen Sharing με τους συνομιλητές σε υψηλότερους ρυθμούς καρέ και χαμηλότερη καθυστέρηση στον ήχο (latency).
Το Private Browsing mode του Safari browser κλειδώνεται πλέον πίσω από το Touch ID και μπορείς να δημιουργείς ξεχωριστά προφίλ για επαγγελματική και προσωπική χρήση με διαφορετικές δικλείδες ασφαλείας και ρυθμίσεις για την ιδιωτικότητα. Επίσης, μπορείς να αποθηκεύεις αγαπημένες ιστοσελίδες (π.χ. το techgear.gr) στο dock των εφαρμογών ή το desktop για άμεση πρόσβαση σε αυτές με ένα click σαν να είναι κανονικές εφαρμογές.
Ακολουθεί όλη η λίστα με τα νέα χαρακτηριστικά του macOS Sonoma όπως την παραθέτει η Apple.
