Apple’s MacOS Ventura Expected to Launch in Final Week of October
According to update by Bloomberg, Apple plans to release macOS Ventura alongside iPadOS 16 during the week of October 24. According to report, first version of macOS Ventura adds support for new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which are expected to be released in the "near future.”
It is expected that the new models of MacBook Pro will be available with M2 Pro and M2 Max chip options. Bloomberg’s report also said that Apple is working on an updated Mac mini with an M2 chip. Apple last updated the Mac mini with the M1 chip in 2020, and it continues to sell higher-priced Intel configurations with Core i5 and Core i7 processor options.
Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi and marketing chief Greg Joswiak are set to speak at the WSJ Tech Live event on the evening of October 25. iOS 16.1 will likely launch alongside iPadOS 16.1 and macOS Ventura with many new features for the iPhone, including Live Activities in third-party apps.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said, “Apple has traditionally ushered in its late fall iPad and Mac updates with splashy events, but this year's rollout will be more subdued. Apple will launch the products on its website without the kind of gathering we saw in September with the iPhone 14's debut."
