Now that the release date reveal is imminent, there’s never been a better time to find out everything there is to know about macOS Mojave. Read on to have all your questions answered.
After WWDC 2018, we have a pretty good idea of what macOS 10.14 Mojave will look like, and we’ve gathered all the latest news and features regarding the upcoming update.
With macOS Mojave, we’ll see some core iOS apps, like News and Stocks, make their way to macOS for the first time ever. While it’s not a massive influx of iOS apps like rumors previously suggested, Apple’s own Craig Federighi did claim that Apple is working on bringing more Core iOS apps over to macOS in the years to come.
We’ve also heard from a developer who has already started digging into the process of porting iOS apps to macOS 10.14 Mojave, and while there are some issues that need to be worked out, it does offer a promising glimpse into the future of iOS apps on Macs.
The macOS Mojave public beta has been out for a while, and while you can still download and install it today, you won’t have to wait a long time to get your hands on the final build. With the iPhone event literally around the corner, we’re expecting to learn the release date and more at the event tomorrow.
If you want to keep up with the latest information from the incoming launch event, we’ll show you how to watch it live. Otherwise, keep it locked to this page, as we’ll update it with any and all information that we find.
While no one knows the exact date that macOS Mojave will arrive on our Macs, we’re pretty sure that it’s right around the corner, at least based on past releases.
Since 2013 and the release of OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Apple has teased its latest version of the Mac OS during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference ( WWDC) keynote in early June, followed by a full release September or October of the same year. Apple has also done this completely free of charge since then.
Everything points to Apple continuing this tradition with macOS Mojave, too. We saw a sneak peek of what macOS has in store back at WWDC 2018, and Apple has even kicked off the public beta. All of that is going to come to fruition at the iPhone reveal event tomorrow on September 12 – we’ll be getting the definitive release date. We’ll likely see the new macOS launching in the last week of September or the first week of October. We’ll know for sure tomorrow, so make sure you check back.
We now know what specs macOS 10.14 Mojave will require. And, unfortunately some older Macs are going to have to go without the major update. This is unlike macOS 10.13 High Sierra, which practically had the same requirements.
First off, prepare for macOS 10.14 to require at least 14.3GB of hard drive space for the installation, as that’s what was required last year. To keep it on the safe side, make it 20GB.
Next, Macs that received the 10.13 upgrade were required to be equipped with at least 2GB of memory (or RAM) and running OS X 10.8 or later. This year, however, these are the Macs that will be supported by macOS 10.14 Mojave
Unfortunately, while the required models rarely change year over year, they have with macOS 10.14, so if you have an older MacBook, you might need to upgrade to enjoy this new version of the OS.
macOS 10.14 Mojave is going to bring a ton of new features to your Mac. And, while we have a pretty good idea of what macOS Mojave is going to look like, we’re sure to get a more detailed look at tomorrow’s iPhone reveal event.
From Finder improvements to more rigid security, the best Macs are about to become a lot better.
Read on to discover all the new features coming to your Mac when the update launches in the next few weeks..
With macOS Mojave, Apple is introducing a system-wide Dark Mode, this will extend to every first-party program on your Mac.
Even Xcode is getting a full makeover, completely in black, making those extended programming sessions more comfortable for your eyes.
As for third-party programs, they’ll be able to adopt it and we think many developers will.
Anyone who uses a Mac will know that the desktop can start to get cluttered during a full day of work.
With Stacks, similar files will be stacked together so that you have a less cluttered desktop.
In macOS 10.14 Mojave, Apple has added a new Gallery View to Finder. This will let you quickly browse through, annotate and edit files. No matter what kind of file you select, you’ll be able to quickly and easily find exactly what you’re looking for.
This is made even easier thanks to Apple adding a very detailed metadata display to the Preview pane. This will make it easier than ever before to take note of all the information of any file on your Mac.
And, with Quick Actions in the Preview pane, you won’t even need to leave Finder to work on files. You’ll be able to edit images, add protection to files and more. You can even assign Automator tasks as Quick Actions to make browsing through files even easier.
Quick Look is already an quick and easy way to look at files quickly, and in macOS Mojave, you’ll be able to quickly and efficiently use Markup to edit files you open in Quick Look.
Markup will also be implemented into screenshots. You’ll be able to quickly bring up any screenshot and zoom or edit any content within. This is possible thanks to improvements to the way macOS handles screenshots. Once you capture a screen, a preview image will open in the corner of your screen, much like iOS. You can then click on this preview to edit your Screenshot.
That’s not all though, Screenshots are still a simple shortcut away, but with macOS Mojave, a new easy-to-use menu includes screen-recording tools, so that you can capture animated content.
With macOS Mojave, Apple will bring some essential apps from iOS to macOS. With News, Stocks, Voice Memos and Home, you’ll be able to further integrate yourself into the Apple ecosystem.
And, of course you’ll be able to use the power of the best Macs to use these apps to their full potential.
However, if you’re looking forward to finding your favorite iOS apps on your Mac, you’re going to have to wait until at least 2019.
Apple is concerned about your device security, and with macOS Mojave, macOS will ask for permission for more features, now including the camera and microphone. It will also provide more robust protection to your file system.
The Cupertino giant also announced security enhancements to Safari, shutting down cookies that track you across websites, making sure Safari asks permission before it allows the cookies any kind of access to your browsing data.
