Thank you to all netizens for your enthusiastic sharing, which has provided us with valuable clues to obtain the latest Apple system beta information.
Fast delivery of system updates
Recently, Apple pushed the tenth beta version of macOS 13 to developers. It is only one week apart from the previous beta version. Such a fast iteration rhythm shows that Apple is doing final optimization and debugging for the official release in the fall. This update continues to improve system stability and fix known issues as its main goals to ensure that the official version can provide a smooth user experience.
For those users who are keen to try new features, the beta version provides an opportunity to experience it in advance. However, there are certain risks in installing this beta system, which may cause incompatible applications or data loss. Therefore, ordinary users are generally advised to wait for the stable official version released in the fall to prevent any impact on daily work and entertainment.
Focus on tasks to improve efficiency
macOS 13 introduces a core new feature called "Foreground Scheduling", which can automatically organize all windows and applications opened by the user, and place the task being used at the focus position in the center of the screen. At the same time, other applications will be arranged in the form of thumbnails on one side of the screen, allowing users to quickly switch at any time.
This function is intended to help users focus more on current tasks and reduce distractions caused by multiple windows overlapping each other. Especially for those who need to deal with multiple tasks simultaneously, such as checking information when writing and referring to documents when programming, front-end scheduling can provide a clearer and more efficient multi-task management approach to optimize the work process.
Seamlessly expand camera functionality
This update deepens the synergy between Apple devices and adds a "continuous camera" function. Users have the ability to use the iPhone's rear camera as a high-definition webcam for Mac computers. This solves the pain point of ordinary front-facing cameras on most laptops and provides higher-quality images for video conferencing and content creation.
This feature supports special effects such as portrait centering, desktop view, and studio lighting. For example, when conducting an online demonstration, the desktop view can simultaneously capture the user's face and the physical objects on the table, making the explanation more intuitive. This shows the continuous efforts of the Apple ecosystem in hardware linkage and seamless experience.
Native apps welcome updates
The email application now adds an email recall function, which can cancel the sending operation within 10 seconds after sending, creating a short window period for users to correct errors. This feature has been launched on iOS before, and now it has finally been extended to Mac platform. In addition, weather and clock applications that have not appeared in many years are also presented in native form on Mac for the first time.
System Preferences was renamed System Settings, and its interface design is closer to iOS and iPadOS, using the familiar sidebar layout. These changes reduce users’ learning costs between different Apple devices and make the operating logic more unified, which is particularly friendly for users with multiple Apple products.
Double upgrade of safety and entertainment
Safari browser opens support for shared tab groups to facilitate users to synchronize collected web links with family or colleagues, and jointly plan trips or research projects. In terms of security, Apple is working hard to develop the next-generation authentication technology "pass key" and is determined to gradually replace the traditional password login method in the future.
First of all, in the field of graphics technology, Metal 3 API has been integrated into the new system, thus providing game developers with more powerful tools. Secondly, this means that in the future, games running on Mac will be able to make better use of hardware performance, thereby achieving more refined textures and more realistic light and shadow effects, ultimately improving the visual experience of the game.
Obtain and upgrade test versions
For those users who want to experience the beta version in advance, they need to install the corresponding developer description files first. Users can find the download links for these files through some third-party websites or applications. After installing the description files, the beta version push can be detected in the software update of the system settings.
Please be reminded that upgrading to the beta version is not the official upgrade path. It involves data risks, so it is not recommended to try it on your main work device. For ordinary users, if they want to upgrade, the safer way is to wait for the release of the official version in the fall. By that time, all compatible Mac computers can be directly upgraded for free through system settings.
