These are features that are available across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS and are serving as a new thread that strengthens the ties between the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This year, macOS Ventura expands macOS’ collaboration across devices with Continuity Camera, collaboration features in system apps that are also available to third-party apps, the integration of Messages into collaboration functionality and SharePlay, and more. Last year, SharePlay enabled new experiences that connected people with family and friends no matter what Apple device they use. Supported By ConceptsĪnother thread from Monterey that is even more pronounced in the Ventura beta is Apple’s renewed emphasis on collaboration and sharing. However, as you’ll read below, I think everyone should give Stage Manager a chance because I’ve been surprised at how much I enjoy using it. And, of course, the feature is entirely optional, so anyone with whom it doesn’t click can ignore Stage Manager completely. On the Mac, Stage Manager is very different from the Mac’s traditional windowing systems, but it’s also very easy to get the hang of, which bodes well for new users coming from the iPad. This year, the process of harmonizing the Mac with Apple’s other devices continues with Stage Manager, a new window management system available on macOS and iPadOS that offers users a similar windowing experience on both systems for the first time. The same is true for developers looking to bring their apps to all of Apple’s platforms. As a result, it’s never been easier for someone to move between devices up and down the company’s computing lineup. Instead, they’re intentional differences that speak to the ways the devices are used, not how they were developed.
Fewer of the differences among Apple’s product lines are the result of historical accidents than ever before. Where once the Mac hung out doing its own thing with scant regard for where iOS, and later, iPadOS was heading, today the Mac feels like part of a coherent family of products more than ever. With the release of the macOS Ventura public beta today, macOS takes another step down the path to syncing up its platforms that began four years ago.
