macOS Sequoia is here: Key features, compatible devices, and installation methods

Along with the iOS 18 update, Apple has just released macOS 15 Sequoia. A new version of the operating system for Apple computers is now available for download on compatible computers. The software includes several interesting new features, although it does not yet include the most anticipated feature: support for Apple Intelligence.

As a reminder, Apple Intelligence will debut on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS next October. However, it won’t be available in Europe on iPhone and iPad initially. In any case, it’s worth saying that there are signs that Apple’s AI suite will launch this year in Spain and other European countries as part of macOS 15.1. However, this will only work if English is the primary language on your Mac.

With this clarification, you can now install macOS 15 Sequoia on compatible computers to enjoy the rest of its features. Some of the most notable include:

• iPhone Mirroring: This feature allows you to view and control your iPhone directly from your Mac, and you can even receive notifications and interact with apps even when your mobile screen is locked.
• Passwords: A new app for managing passwords stored in iCloud Keychain. It also supports access keys and verification codes.
• Safari: Apple’s web browser has also improved performance, making it faster, and introduced some very interesting features. These include the ability to generate short descriptions of a site and the introduction of a new distraction control that lets you hide annoying elements of the websites you visit.
• Video calls: You can now change your video call background and preview your screen before sharing it during a conference.

Of course, there are a few other new features in the macOS 15 Sequoia update, which you can read about in detail here. We’ll see how much the software experience changes once it integrates with Apple Intelligence next month. Of course, remember that Apple’s AI suite will only work on Macs with an M1 chip or newer.
