New features of macOS Sequoia

macOS Sequoia brings many new features and improvements to the Mac. Perhaps the most notable is the iPhone mirroring feature, which allows you to use your iPhone directly by displaying it on your Mac screen. You will also discover new wallpaper and screen savers, new window tiling features, a dedicated password application, and many smaller features and changes to the standard application suites such as Safari, information, photos, emails, memos, and more. macOS Sequoia 15.1 will also launch Apple Intelligence AI capabilities later this year, but Apple Intelligence has very strict system requirements for use and requires an Apple chip processor.
