Version 12 of the Mac system is available for download
Apple is now making the final version of macOS Monterey available for download – version 12.0 of the Mac system is ready and ready to use.
Update from October 26, 2021: MacOS Monterey has been available for free download for a few hours. The system update for the Mac takes up a total of 12.1 GB and can be obtained via the usual channels in the Mac App Store.
Worth mentioning: The first copies of the new MacBook Pro will be available to customers today, of course macOS Montere is already preinstalled there. 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). 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 was actually more likely at the end of September, but not in 2020 and 2019. At the end of the day, 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.
