The tea leaves tried to tell us that things weren't looking so hot for Universal Control. Not when it comes to a release date, anyway. But still we held out hope that one of the coolest features Apple unveiled alongside iPadOS 15 and macOS 12 would see the light of day before the end of 2021.
The macOS Monterey 12.1 update resolves layout issues where the notch on 2021 MacBook Pros would obscure those tiny icons on the right side of your Mac's menu bar.
Apple's macOS Monterey 12.1 software update fixes major bugs that users have been complaining about, including problems related to MagSafe charging, registering trackpad taps as clicks and watching HDR content on YouTube.
Apple's Universal Control feature for controlling your iPads and Macs is not coming alongside macOS Monterey 12.1 and iPadOS 15.2 after all, despite earlier promises.
One of the features that macOS Monterey users are still waiting to get their hands on is SharePlay. And while the wait continues, we're at least one step closer. Apple is moving ahead with the developer betas of the software that will actually bring it to the masses.
SharePlay for Mac will launch as part of a macOS Monterey update scheduled to launch publicly with a tentative "later-this-year" release date, Apple has acknowledged today.
The beta process keeps on trucking along. Apple has seeded the latest betas of its next updates for the company's most popular operating systems. And while it might not be adding any major forward facing new features to the mix, there are certainly some noteworthy new additions.
Earlier this year, Apple debuted what it calls Expanded Protections for Children. It's a suite of features that are baked into Apple's software, including iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. The goal is to help protect children from abuse, among other child safety endeavors. With the first iOS 15.2 beta hinted at one of the feature's return, it looks like that will indeed be happening with the public launch.
The last time Apple seeded betas for its next updates to its operating systems, it was still October. But, today, the company is back at it again, preparing developers (and, eventually, public beta testers) for what's to come on the software front. As such, there are new beta seeds available for developers.
Apple has acknowledged that it has managed to squish a bug in the Mac operating system that caused some Mac computers from failing to boot after installing macOS Monterey.
The bright, abstract wallpaper in macOS Monterey breaks Apple's eight years long tradition of providing high-quality photographs of California-themed landscapes to use as your desktop wallpaper. But don't worry, here's that missing Monterey landscape image.
Earlier this year, Apple unveiled a suite of new features it packaged in something it called Expanded Protections for Children. There were three new features total, but, at the time, one of them raised a lot of concerns regarding a potential breakdown of privacy. Following a lot of backlash and commentary, Apple decided to delay the features -- but it looks like one of them is making a comeback.
