Sequoia new features for dummies

By Luca Arena

As is well known, everywhere you can find articles raving about fantastic reviews of the new features that will be present in Macos 15.

For those in a hurry, I will try to throw out a very quick list of incoming features:

Apple has recently unveiled macOS 15, named Sequoia, after the iconic Californian National Park. This update brings a host of new features and improvements designed to enhance the Mac experience. Here are some of the highlights:

  • **1. iPhone Mirroring**: One of the standout features is iPhone Mirroring, which allows users to display and interact with their iPhone screen directly on their Mac. This feature supports full control of the iPhone, including app usage and audio routing, making it a seamless integration between devices4.
  • **2. Enhanced FaceTime Backgrounds**: The latest update, macOS 15.1, introduces new FaceTime backgrounds inspired by the scenic views of Apple Park. These backgrounds aim to make video calls more engaging and visually appealing12.
  • **3. Improved Game Porting Toolkit*: For gamers, the Game Porting Toolkit has received significant updates, including better shader debugging and enhanced compatibility. This makes it easier for developers to port games between iPhone, Mac, and iPad5.
  • **4. Safari Enhancements**: Safari has also seen improvements with a new reading mode designed to minimize distractions, providing a cleaner and more focused browsing experience.
  • **5. Stability and Performance**: Apple has placed a strong emphasis on stability and performance in this release, ensuring that macOS 15 Sequoia runs smoothly across all compatible devices6.
As you may notice, I'm not including Apple Intelligence since it that may not come to Europe due to Antitrust legislation, BUT also Iphone mirroring may also suffer the same fate!
