- Apple unveiled the new version of macOS at WWDC: Sonoma
- Improvements should be noted for the camera, gaming and editorial
- Safari also welcomes some changes, particularly on the privacy side
macOS Sonoma has just been presented by Apple during the Worldwide Developer Conference 2023. This new operating system, compatible in particular with the15-inch MacBook Airunveiled at the same time and the iMac M1, gives pride of place to widgets. These can now be moved directly to users' desktops, for example to activate the air conditioning in their car with one click. Craig Federighi, in charge of developing the platform, also presented new features in collaboration with the videoconferencing app Zoom – a direct competitor to FaceTime.
Among the other updates of this new version of macOS, we also find serious changes to the proprietary Safari browser. The app thus welcomes new icons redirecting to users' favorite websites, which can be dragged into the Dock to access them at any time. With this, privacy improvements are also made to the software, as often.

Beyond all these announcements, Apple is also launching a tool that allows you to automatically complete forms, rather practical for administrative tasks. In addition, macOS Sonoma is now able to predict what you are going to type, such as what Gmail has been offering for some time.
On the gaming side, a new mode is specially dedicated to playing video games and allows you to reduce latency by using third-party accessories such as controllers or wireless headphonesAirPods.
