macOS 14 should be presented at the next WWDC23, already announced for June 5, and which promises new features like iOS 17, iPadOS, and perhaps even the long-awaited virtual reality headset. This version of macOS will be very importantWell, it will surely be the one that comes standard in the next Mac Pro with Apple Silicon.
Then we will tell you everything we know about this next version macOS to give you a good idea of what we’ll see in the June Keynote.
How to install macOS 14?
One of the questions most people have when Apple announces a new operating system is how it is installed. The process is simple: once Apple announces macOS 14 at WWDC23, those in Cupertino will give a date from which it will be accessible to all. This usually coincides in autumn, although this may change.
Once arrived, and if there was no delay, it will be enough to continue a very simple guide:
- Check that your Mac is compatible. To do this, it will be enough to check if your model is on the list that Cupertino will make public as soon as macOS 14 is announced.
- If your Mac is compatible, go to System Parameters → General → Software update. There you have to wait for the new update to appear, and once you have it, just follow the on-screen steps.
Our recommendation is that you make a backup copy beforehand in case something goes wrong (which is usually not the case), and that don’t update as soon as it’s available. There will be many people trying it at the same time and it will be very slow, better wait a bit and have less downtime on your Mac.
What news will he have?
The truth is that This year, almost nothing has been leaked from macOS. That could mean two things: it could be such a small update that it’s not that nothing leaked, but that there’s nothing to leak. Or, on the contrary, that the update will bring something so big that Apple wanted to avoid leaks at all costs. To make it a surprise, and everything.
The only rumor we’ve heard this year about macOS 14 is about supposed compatibility with iPad Pros with the M2 chip. A Twitter leaker shared with his followers that he was aware that Apple would create macOS releases for iPad ProWhat could happen with the launch of this new version in June.
What will be the final name?
The name of macOS versions in recent years was once an iconic California location. Every year, Apple chooses a different one, and it’s a great way to promote the state. This name is one of the most leak-proof issues. Apple uses fictitious companies to register them, and while they sometimes leak, they often don’t match.
Last year there was talk that macOS 13 might be called Mammoth, something that ultimately did not happen. This rumor spread after one of Apple’s front companies recorded it. Could this be the name of the next macOS? No one knows, that’s for sure, but it’s plausible. Other options would be Sequoia, Sonoma or Redwood. These are also names registered by front companies of those of Cupertino that have never been used.
Which devices will be compatible with macOS 14?
Apple will release a list of compatible devices for macOS 14 as soon as it is announced. However, there are some things that help us to get an idea of what to expect. The current version, macOS Ventura, left Macs released between 2014 and 2016 unsupported. It’s a lot.
Apple tends to even out a bit with its releases. That is to say that if one year there are several Macs that lose support, the following year those of Cupertino try to do less, to create a certain balance. Also, if it turns out that this year there aren’t many new features, it could be that few Macs are left out of the equation. It is even possible that there are none left.
