The release date of the Mac update is now official
All relevant software updates from Apple have already been published? Unfortunately, this is not true, because apart from iOS 15 and Co., the iPhone manufacturer still owes us the final version of macOS Monterey – version 12.0 of the Mac system. But now Apple has finished the guesswork and reveals the release date for the Mac update.
Update from October 18, 2021: : As part of the launch of the new MacBook Pro 2021, Apple updated the website for the upcoming Mac update. So we will now find out the final release date. Accordingly, macOS will be Monterrey available for free download from Monday, October 25, 2021 stand.
Worth mentioning: The first copies of the new MacBook Pro will hit customers one day later, from October 26th. The new update to macOS 12 will be compatible with numerous Macs, some of which were released in 2013. You can read more about this in this article.
Original article:
Mac users still have to be patient, because currently there are only the new system versions for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV – specifically iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8 and tvOS 15. Who at the last Apple event on an appointment for macOS Monterey hoped they were disappointed.
macOS Monterey Beta 7: Another step towards release
But now After all, Apple is releasing the 7th developer version and the associated public beta of macOS 12 (Source: Apple). So the work is progressing, but has not yet been completed because it is not yet a so-called “release candidate”. Otherwise, a publication could be expected in a few days. But when is macOS Monterey coming?
We can only speculate about that. The publication times of the predecessors unfortunately only provide limited information, let’s take a look:
- macOS 11: November 12, 2020
- macOS 10.15: October 7, 2020
- macOS 10.14: September 24, 2018
- macOS 10.13: September 25, 2017
- macOS 10.12: September 20, 2016
In recent years, the publication actually took place at the end of September, but not in 2020 and 2019. In the end, we even had to wait until November. However, we suspect: In the course of another predicted Apple event, the manufacturer should specify a release date. Most recently, October was discussed for this.
What can we look forward to in macOS Monterey? In the video is there the answer:
IPad users are also longingly waiting for macOS 12
That is how long iPad users have to wait for “Universal Control” aka “Seamless Control”. For the joint control of Mac and iPad with one keyboard and mouse (trackpad) In addition to iPadOS 15, you also need the final version of macOS Monterey. So far nobody has been able to test this in public because “Universal Control” was still missing in all betas.
