Get ready to use your Mac like never before: macOS Sequoia is here to integrate all the new features of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 and add the iPhone with a new formula that will make your work much more comfortable.
macOS Sonoma now has a successor! macOS Sequoia is presented as the next major version of the operating system for your Mac and brings a new feature that will forever change the way you integrate that computer with your iPhone: we show you the new function to control the iPhone from your Mac.
iPhone Mirroring on macOS Sequoia: Your iPhone is just another app on your Mac
Look at the image above: your iPhone can be on your Mac just like any other window! You don’t need to configure anything, just have your Mac and iPhone configured with the same Apple account and be on the same WiFi network.
In addition, macOS Sequoia also integrates iPhone sound into the audio on your Mac and will save you the touch keyboard, allowing you to write directly from the Mac message. Thanks to this, you will be able to use applications that are only available on your iPhone from your Mac with much greater comfort.
Want an example? We can mention Duolingo, an application that requires the iPhone’s microphone and speakers and can now be used from the Mac without problems. And if you don’t have the desktop version installed, you can always use WhatsApp through this interface adding the convenience of your keyboard.
And if you need to work with iPhone apps alongside Mac apps, you can drag items between them as if they were apps on the same system. Never before has such deep integration between devices been seen!
The icing on the cake is iPhone notifications , which will appear on the Mac to merge with macOS notifications and simplify the experience. You won’t miss any important notifications even if you have the iPhone locked in your pocket while using its screen on the computer.
Other new features in macOS Sequoia
macOS Sequoia also features many of the new features we’ll also see in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 :
- Apple Intelligence will allow us to generate text, transcribe it from audio, rewrite it with different tones or create images in various styles from different applications. AI will come to Macs through macOS Sequoia.
- New reader view in Safari.
- New app to manage all your passwords , including Wi-Fi passwords and verification codes.
- New topographic maps with the ability to save hiking routes.
- The Notes app will let you solve math operations just by writing them down, and will be able to collapse sections of text so that some very long notes don’t get cumbersome.
- New interface in the Photos app.
