Beta 4 of macOS Sequoia is now available to download and install if you have been testing the update on your Mac.
Apple Releases Beta 4 of macOS Sequoia for Developers – Download Today with Bug Fixes and Further Improvements
macOS Sequoia allows you to use your iPhone right on your Mac desktop with a feature called iPhone Mirroring. This is singlehandedly the best feature Apple has brought to the Mac in a long time. Sure, Apple Intelligence is right up there in the list of best features, but iPhone Mirroring is a pure winner in my list.
These features are a couple of months away. For now, you have to deal with betas, and today the fourth beta of macOS Sequoia dropped, and you should install it. How? By going to System Settings > General > Software Update. Install beta 4, restart your Mac, and get on with your regular life but with added peace of mind that your operating system is now more stable than yesterday.
I will suggest installing the update as soon as read this. It’s important, especially if you use Sequoia as your daily driver. Though I do not recommend using beta software on a daily driver Mac, but at this point Sequoia is stable enough to be taken on the road.
If there is anything noteworthy in beta 4, I will write a separate article on it highlighting what has changed. But, given how past couple of betas have been, I’ll be surprised if there’s any noticeable change in this one at all. Apple tends to shuffle things around on iPhone and iPad with each beta, but keeps things very consistent on the Mac.
Apple Intelligence is a core feature of macOS Sequoia that allows you to do a ton of things using the power of artificial intelligence. For example, Writing Tools will do the proofreading for you and make fixes where necessary. You can even generate images on the fly and share them to whoever you like. And of course, you get access to ChatGPT when needed. Overall, it’s going to be an interesting little change to how the Mac works.
