The late version of MacOS was harbinger during the Apple keynote speech at WWDC23 , but what ’s really changed fromMacOS Ventura ?
Apple finally announced an upgrade to the Mac operating system inMacOS Sonoma . This fresh O should bring a superfluity of acclivity over the original , with Apple claiming that the upgrade will be released in full in the Autumn of this year .
With all that say , here are all the vital differences between MacOS Ventura and MacOS Sonoma so you know what to anticipate when it launches .
Sonoma comes with desktop widgets
One of the most exciting Sonoma upgrades is the introduction of desktop whatsis . Those who own aniPhoneoriPadwill likely be familiar with widgets , which give handy small-arm of data – like the weather or any calendar update – without the motivation to reach the app itself .
Users will be able-bodied to come out widgets on their desktop from the new widget gallery , which seems to include apps like Weather , Clock , Notes , Photos and Reminders . They will pass into the background once you open up an app or window so you ’re not distracted by information in the background . MacOS Ventura does not have gadget support , forcing you to open each software to see any information .
More video conferencing features on MacOS Sonoma
Sonoma come with the new Presenter Overlay feature during video calls . This will keep your face at the vanguard while you ’re sharing your screen , with the option between a small and large sheathing . You will also be able to share an app during a video call , direct from the windowpane that you ’re using .
Sonoma will even appropriate you to practice yourStudio Displayor iPhone as the webcam , even when running the TV app on a separate Mac .
Ventura has support for some of the most popular video conferencing apps , such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams . However , it does not have these features included , which should make work calls a mountain more streamlined and personalised thanks to the Presenter Overlay features . Apple claims that these features on MacOS Sonoma will work on “ any video conferencing apps ” .
Sonoma comes with a brand-new Game Mode
Apple has never been known for offering gaming car , despite itsMacbookandMaclines coming with a massive amount of graphical power . Ventura did make some tweaks to its Gaming Centre , but it was still a large unaccented point thanks to the limitation of MacOS .
MacOS Sonoma is trying to alleviate this upshot with the introduction of Game Mode . This will secern your Mac to focus itsCPUandGPUon play workloads and low-pitched exercise for background tasks . It will also enable improved audio latency forAirPodsand will doubleBluetoothsampling rate for improved connectivity with both PlayStation and Xbox comptroller . It ’s unlikely that this upgrade will make Macs as seamless as Windows PCs when it comes to gaming , but it ’s a footfall in the right direction .
New screensavers with MacOS Sonoma
One of the self-aggrandising expectations for an upgraded operating system is the introduction of new screensavers . MacOS Ventura came with a new nonremittal screensaver that would automatically change depending on which appearance mood you were using .
Sonoma comes with a plethora of new screensavers , from the Hong Kong visible horizon to the rolling hills of Northern California . These screensavers become your wallpaper once you lumber in and move in slow movement , giving you a lovely survey over Monument Valley in Colorado . Apple also chose to move the login experience to the bottom of the blind , giving you an even good smell at these new screensavers .
