We ’ve heard a peck aboutiOS 17andwatchOS 10over the retiring few workweek , but we ’ve gotten astonishingly few macOS 14 rumour … until now . A few recent leak have slough a little light on the closelipped OS .
The first come from Mark Gurman , appearing as a guest ofThe MacRumors Show , who say macOS 14 wo n’t be a “ groundbreaking or significant ” update . Gurman indicates , however , that macOS 14 will continue the recent course of “ baking in ” support for features in iOS and iPadOS . That could include add feature such as a Wallet app and iCloud backups , both of which have been on iPhones for twelvemonth .
Gurman said Apple ’s “ big push ” is to get every app and feature to work on every twist to eliminate all possible clash : “ The dream scenario is that you own an Apple Watch , an iPhone , a MacBook , an iPad , an Apple headset , and all five of those devices are up to of doing all the same things just in unlike use of goods and services cases and at unlike times of the twenty-four hour period . ”
Like iOS 17 , macOS 14 is expected to be abstemious on big new features and focalise instead on maintenance and operation improvements . Gurman suggested that in all likelihood means it will have the name of a location comparatively snug to Ventura , much like El Capitan and Yosemite . He guessed Malibu as the name due to its proximity to Ventura .
However , Parker Ortolani on Twitterlisted 15 possible macOS 14 names based on California landmarks that Apple has brand , and Malibu is n’t admit among them :
As Ortolani taper out , every one of Apple ’s macOS California names has come from this list . Assuming macOS 14 follows this trend and uses a positioning close to Ventura , Rincon or Skyline are the most likely names .
