Apple Unveils macOS Sequoia and Introduces Exciting New Features at WWDC

Apple revealed macOS Sequoia at its very own developer conference WWDC. The latest iteration of the operating system is capable of receiving all notifications from a connected iPhone, as well as controlling apps through screen mirroring.

According to Apple, users will no longer need to unlock their iPhone to access the home screen or view notifications. These new features aim to allow users to open and use iPhone apps on a Mac, reducing the need to rely on the phone as frequently.

Safari introduces the Highlights feature, where the browser can extract information from a page and highlight it prominently, such as displaying a map based on an address and offering a button to immediately open that address in Apple's mapping program. Additionally, Reader mode can generate summaries and tables of contents for lengthy articles.

Operationally, Sequoia offers the capability to divide windows into tiles across the screen based on a set layout, enabling users to have two or even three apps open simultaneously. This includes the ability to use key combinations to quickly pin apps, a feature that has been present in Windows for years.

Furthermore, the AI functions that Apple introduced for iPhones and iPads are also making their way to macOS devices with an M1 chip or newer. Other updates, such as the revamped Calculator and changes in various other apps, are also set to arrive on macOS.
