The MacOS Catalina version was officially launched last October, but it's never too early to start discussing the new version of the next version. By 2020, MacOS 10.16 will probably come, unless they call it macOS 11.
If Apple follows the same pattern as years ago, we should know more about the next Mac system update key text Presentation of WWDC by 2020. This should take place early next June.
While that day has yet to come, nothing stops us from launching speculation and exploring rumors already circulating. Among them, it highlights the arrival of Mac that can work for both macOS and iOS. What does this mean for the future of macOS?
Name: How will the next version of macOS be named?
As we mentioned, most likely, Apple, when it calls for the next type of macOS, decides to continue as before and calls it "macOS 10.16". Now, perhaps to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Mac OS X, which he called "MacOS 11".
But beyond the numbers, Apple always adds another name. It started with animals (Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger …), but in recent years they have referred to areas in California, such as the Mojave Desert or Santa Catalina Island.
We can start and try to guess what its name will be in 2020. It could be Marin, Monterey, Sacramento, Sequoia, Sonoma or Tahoe or Ventura. Next June at WWDC 2020 We'll see if we succeed or not.
Edit: When will MacOS 10.16 arrive?
It's still too early to know from which day this new macOS program will be available, especially since its arrival has not been announced. Now, we can look at the release dates for some versions.
- macOS Catalina: Monday, October 7, 2019
- macOS Mojave: Monday, September 24, 2018
- macOS High Sierra: Monday, September 25, 2017
- macOS Sierra: Tuesday, September 20, 2016
- macOS El Capitan: Wednesday, September 30, 2015
- macOS Yosemite: Thursday, October 16, 2014
- macOS Maverick: Tuesday, October 22, 2013
With all this in mind, our bet is that macOS 10.16 will officially arrive next Monday, October 5, 2020, even though Apple doesn't know. In addition, the company may decide that it is not necessary to introduce a new model this year.
Will Apple decide to integrate iOS and macOS?
At the moment we don't know much about what Apple is thinking about the new macOS, but it is said that the company is about to introduce its first Mac with its ARM systems. How might that affect MacOS?
TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in his day that Apple will start using its A-series monitors on its Macs by 2020 or 2021. That will facilitate the integration between iOS and macOS in case Apple wants to do this. , who denied it.
In March 2018, Tim Cook said combining both of these apps would be a mistake, because using them separately allows you to be more precise and improve what your relevant devices are doing well.
With the advent of iPadOS in 2019, operating systems for Mac and iPad are closer than ever, so this could lead to greater synergy between iOS and macOS. A Mac that may have an ARM processor may be a start.
IOS functions we would like to see in macOS 10.16
There are some features we enjoy on our iPhone that are not available on the Mac. This is, for example, the Control Center. When you get to macOS, this will give you instant access to your system or standby functionality.
It is expected that in the coming months we will see other iOS apps come with macOS, as has been the case in recent times. Therefore, we believe that Apple will make it easier for developers in the future.
These are some of the iOS functions we would like to see for macOS:
- Clock: The iOS app lets you set up several alarms, knowing what time it is in another part of the world. We love the macOS app where this is possible, as well as using the timer and stopwatch.
- Siri shortcuts: Siri shortcuts are available for iPhone and iPad, a very useful function in the routine tasks you perform on a daily basis. This can be quite noticeable when using your Apple computer or laptop.
- Health: The Health app available for iOS is the best way to use your Apple Watch and we think it should also be available for download in macOS. So, you can control your health and physical activity by tracking on your Mac.
- Touch screen: It is unlikely that Apple incorporates the touchscreen on your Mac, but doing so may use the same Multi-Touch touch we already have on the iPhone or iPad.
Some features we would like to get to with macOS
Aside from the advent of iOS functions in macOS, there are other features that we would like to see in future versions of the Mac and MacBook app.
- Too many watchesDock is one of the most popular tools for Mac users, but it can be upgraded. For example, there may be separate Docs for each connected device and thus perform the function of those using multiple screens.
- & # 39; Save as running & # 39; to Work: We would like Apple to include the & # 39; Save as & # 39; function in Pages, Prices and Keynote, because we still don't understand the & # 39; Duplicate & # 39; function.
- It's a time machine: Many users may celebrate that Apple has decided to start using cloud backups on their Time machine. After all, I'm already using iCloud for that function on the iPhone.
- Fusion between Siri and Spotlight: Integration between both tools can improve communication between the user and the computer. It can try to use what Microsoft did with Cortana in Windows 10.
- Clipboard: It would be a good idea for Apple to save more than one copy copied to your clipboard, as Windows has already done. Wouldn't it be very helpful to copy and paste something that you copied half an hour ago?
- Screenshots: Or, or, for screen objects. In Windows 10 you can save as a screenshot of your screen, while in macOS you are limited to square or rectangular holdings.
- Timeline: We would like to see a tool in macOS that can let you see the type of project you are working on for an hour, two days or a year. Also, this is something we've already seen on Windows.
- Unlocking iPhone: You may have turned on your Mac using your Apple Watch (this function came with macOS Sierra), but we'd like you to do the same with your iPhone in the future.
