Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this is mac os 13 ventura this is the latest version
that's currently available to developers it will be out to public beta testers in july according to
apple and then come out to the public and everyone else on supported devices in the fall or autumn
sometimes usually in late september or early october now this particular update is supported
on imac 2017 and later imac pro 2017 macbook air 2018 and later macbook pro 2017 and later mac pro
2019 and later mac studio 2022 mac mini 2018 and later and macbook 2017 and later so if you have
any one of those devices when this is available to the public you'll be able to install it now
the overall update was only about three gigabytes or so but let's go ahead and talk about what's new
there's quite a few nice changes the first thing is if we go to the apple go to about this mac to
take a look at the build number you'll see the about screen has completely changed so it's all
new it shows what device you're currently using so the 16-inch macbook pro from 2021
and it also says mac os ventura 13.0 and so i'm going to cover everything new in mac os ventura
that i didn't mention in the initial ios 16 and ipad os 16 beta videos since many features are
very similar across them and there's hundreds at this point we're just going to mention the
major changes to ventura so be sure to check out the 36 minute ios 16 video if you're interested
in everything after this video if we click on more info it will open up the new system pane
so this replaces preferences and now it's system settings in the upper left that you can see here
it gives all of your information and shows mac os ventura with the current build number of 22a
5266r it shows the display i'm using with it and there's quite a few new changes so the first thing
like i said is a new settings pane and as you can see here you've got your name this is very
familiar if you've ever used iphone or ipad it's basically a very similar version of their settings
page so you have wi-fi you have bluetooth you can see all of your devices you can connect to them
we've got network you can connect to wi-fi you've got a firewall here that's active
then you've got everything from notifications sound focus screen time general that looks very
similar to what we just saw appearance and this is where you can change from light to dark mode in
auto accessibility control center you'll see syrian spotlight privacy and security
and as we scroll down you've got all of your different options as well so desktop and dock
you've got your displays wallpaper and under wallpaper you'll see it looks a little different
so we have our current wallpaper here and if we scroll down we have colors so we can auto rotate
colors add different colors using the color wheel or the color picker select whatever color we want
add a folder and even add a photo album that's from photos so you have all of those options for
wallpaper and they even have the older wallpaper here as well but not installed by default so we
can go to desktop pictures and scroll down and you can see here some of the older desktop pictures so
big sur if we scroll down we can go to catalina even so it's keeping all of those installed
under screen saver you'll see it looks pretty much the same and under battery we have a battery page
that looks very familiar it shows the battery charging status battery health and everything
else so you have on battery we have it go to automatic low power or high power and then on
the power adapter high power automatically or you could set it to whatever you'd like
and then of course you've got your usage over the next few days you've got lock screen options
touch id and password users and groups passwords internet accounts and everything else so
that's something that's been updated completely new preference or settings pane
now if we click off of this one thing i noticed right away is you'll see here at the top
if i click on this it says link keyboard and mouse to mac studio the mac studio is nearby
and so you can actually link it and now it just switched off but it was here for a little while
and for some reason it went away but when the mac studio is awake it will show up
and then i'll be able to just instantly switch between keyboard and mouse on different devices
so it's very simple that way and something that's really nice much easier than plugging in your
keyboard and mouse every single time now something new that has to do with system settings is under
general and then software update just like ios and ipad os apple also now has the ability on mac os
to install security updates without having to install the whole os again so they call this
rapid response and they say now your mac will get important security updates between normal
software updates so you automatically can stay up to date and protect it against security issues
so that's something that they've updated in this version another thing they've added is something
we haven't had in mac os for a long time or ever and that is the clock you'll see we have
the clock app now so here's the regular clock app just like we have on iphone and ipad we have our
stop watch our timer and our alarm also you may have already noticed we also have a weather app
apple has finally brought weather to mac os so it's the same weather app that we have on ipad
looks basically the exact same and if we click on it here you can see your location you can see
all the different information and details about temperature and forecasts and more so the exact
same app that we have on ios now it's great to have these across all different devices
one of the big features of mac os ventura is called stage manager stage manager can
be turned on by going to the control center and under control center you'll see a new icon
here called stage manager if we click on it and activate it you'll see everything looks pretty
much the same now but if i open up an app maybe weather then maybe open up well let's open up
preferences or settings you'll see that weather moves to the left then if we open up safari
give it just a moment here we'll go to apple and you'll see everything starts moving to the
left and you can organize this by windowing it so just dragging your different applications that are
open over the top you can resize them click on the other and it sort of organizes it by itself
so if i click on what's on the left here so i have safari and weather together
it keeps them together but you can still drag and drop between each one of these so maybe i want
to drag a file from one to the other you can drag between them so it's a new way of organizing your
desktop and this is also on m1 ipads so this is something they've brought across to both of them
so it works with mission control as well so if you have mission control active you can use this
along with it now i have that as a hot corner and it's not working right now so there are some bugs
in here so you'll see it goes to the desktop here should go to mission control on the bottom
left but it keeps glitching here but we do have desktop in my hot corner in the bottom right then
you'll see it clears it even if you're in stage manager and if you don't like that you can just
turn it off so turn it off you can show recent apps or hide recent apps so that's been updated
in mac os ventura now apple has updated the home app as well and now i'm only going to show you the
changes that are new to mac os as opposed to things that carry across everywhere but i did
show this before but since this is a mac specific app we have an all new home app with all of our
different devices so they've redesigned this to make it easier to use if we click on lights
you'll see all our different lights at the top we have security you'll see a camera there it's just
not active because i'm in the room with it we've got our speakers we have one that's not plugged in
and then also the same thing on the left we can set up automations go to home change it based
on where you're located and so on so it has this as well as matter support in the future
so all of those things are available in mac os ventura now one of the next things that's pretty
nice is face time facetime can now be handed off from your iphone to your mac to your ipad so if
you're in a facetime call you can hand off between the different applications or different devices
and it will switch over the application bringing bluetooth headphones along with it so you'll see
all my different bluetooth headphones if i'm using my airpods 3 it will carry those across to those
devices so let's go into facetime i'm in facetime and i have all of my typical facetime options
as you can see up here at the top we have waiting for others because i'm just calling
myself and then you have your typical options with collaboration tools that have been added also now
along with this if i go over to my iphone there's an icon that shows up automatically in a facetime
call and if i tap on it it allows me to switch to that device so you can see that you can switch to
the device and it will just switch seamlessly between them now sometimes it's a bit buggy
since this is an early version but it does seem to work there's a new feature in facetime called
continuity camera you can use your existing iphone camera and i just have it set up on a tripod here
you'll see there's a monitor my computer's over here my macbook and it's just connected
and the iphone will connect wirelessly so if i open up facetime it will automatically turn on
and connect to the iphone so you'll see i'm in a facetime call and i'm actually using the camera
from the iphone 13 pro max so if i cover the lens you can see that it's actually using that camera
in real time wirelessly we also get some effects with that as well so it's a pretty nice setup
where we have portrait mode of course we're using the better camera from the back of the iphone
and then if we go to the control center click on video effects we now have studio light it will
darken the background and bring my face to the forefront just like i had a light on front of me
or we have desk view desk view allows you to see the desk in front of you so it's using the ultra
wide camera as you can see here to show the desk below me in real time we can zoom in we can zoom
out and it's showing the desk and we can arrange things in real time and just using all from one
camera it's using the ultra wide to do this and processing the information using the neural engine
now also you may have noticed it has center stage so as i move it will actually follow me if i move
out of the frame it will follow me around just like all of the different devices with center
stage and all of that just comes to any of the macs that are supported with this so you can just
wirelessly connect the iphone and then you have different options of course for collaboration
and more so you can show your windows on your on your desktop and then also your screen as well
and then you can see here when we go to the camera go to the camera options it says iphone 13 pro max
so that as well as the microphone options here too so you have macbook pro or iphone 13 pro
max it works pretty seamlessly and for being an early beta i'm pretty impressed with it mail on
mac gets the same updates as you get on ios and ipad os you now have scheduled send remind me
and undo send for up to 10 seconds you also have improved search that even if you place a typo in
the search bar it will still find things that are related to what you are probably searching for
so it will auto correct that and then look it up based on that information also you have updated
spotlight search you can click the little magnifier here or hit command space and then
you can search for all sorts of things it shows personalized suggestions from the web and then
also it allows you to find things such as contacts albums musicians movies tv shows actors sports and
businesses and you can view them large and also maybe we'll search for cars we'll pick search
for pictures of cars it will find pictures of cars not only online but also in our photo library and
if we click on one hit the space bar we can also use preview now so we also have spotlight preview
just like we do across the whole os so this is something that's really nice it's also finding
those images across the entire system you can also set an alarm so set an alarm for 30 minutes
and you have that option so siri suggested websites or if we click on this we can set
an alarm now it's not working a hundred percent right now but you should be able to do that in
the future additional things you can do are start a focus run a shortcut and find the name of a song
all within spotlight search so all of those things are coming a little bit later now we also
have quite a few accessibility features built into mac os if we go into our system settings
and we go to accessibility we have similar accessibility settings compared to what we
have on ios and ipad os so we now have background sounds so there's background sounds built in here
you can play the background sounds choose your background sound just like you can on ios you
also have live captions so when you're in a facetime call you can use live captions
and i haven't been able to get this to work yet but it is an option where you can actually talk
and it will show live captions if we go back into facetime so live captions is in beta and you can
just turn it on here now i haven't successfully seen this work yet but it should be working by
the time it's released so maybe it's working for you and if it is i'd love to hear from you
in the comments below you also have voiceover and voiceover has 20 additional languages now apple
doesn't say what all of the languages are but you have bengali you also have bulgarian catalan
ukrainian and vietnamese and more there's 20 total that they've added and then you also have type to
speak on mac to have your mac speak out loud for you during a phone call facetime call or any video
conferencing app so if you have that turned on you can actually type while you're speaking maybe on
a facetime call you have trouble speaking you can just type it out and it will speak it for you if
you're using voiceover it also has a built-in text checker so it looks for grammatical errors such as
duplicates spaces mistaken capitalized letters and more and then also you get that buddy controller
option if you're playing a game you can pair two controllers and control them simultaneously so
that you can help each other get through a game so all of those accessibility features are built in
now there's additional updates to safari as well no i showed safari on ios but if we go into safari
open it up they're now claiming that it's the world's fastest web browser they base this off
of tests conducted on a 13-inch macbook pro with an m1 8 gigs of ram and 512 gig ssd with
a pre-release version of ventura so they even said that they had a wpa2 wifi network connection while
running on battery power with display brightness set to eight clicks from the bottom or fifty
percent testing performance overall saying that it was just faster than chrome or other browsers
such as microsoft edge and firefox so they claim it's the fastest now and also you have
shared tab groups now so if you have a tab group maybe this apple one here or i was looking for
bathtub bathtub parts you can now share this tab group with someone else and have all of your tab
groups across a different group of people so you can share anything you're working on so
this sharing or sort of collaboration is built across the entire system now also we're going to
have pass key support in the future if a website supports it meaning you'll no longer need a
password to log in and let me show you how that works and on this website we'll just click sign
in and this will show you how passkey will work you'll no longer need a password but you can use
your iphone ipad or android device or an external security key click continue and then you can scan
a qr code and then it will allow you to sign in so that allows you to sign in seamlessly using your
phone without a password so hopefully we're moving on to a passwordless future where it's more of a
biometric security system and it's a lot harder to actually scam someone or fish their information
now additionally there's updates to system so you have metal three support for better gaming
and then also anytime you connect a usb device it will now prompt you to actually allow it
so you cannot immediately transfer information so if we plug in a different device here it includes
keyboards a mouse trackpads anything that connects to usbc plug it in i just plugged in my ipad and
immediately it says allow accessory to connect a usb accessory was attached to this mac do you want
to allow it if you allow it then it can connect so otherwise it will not be able to transfer any
information whatsoever now additionally if you have an ipad pro 12.9 inch with a liquid
retina xdr display or the latest mini led display you'll see if we go into our settings
go to displays we can add the display and use it for a reference display so you'll see here we can
select from ipad pro fifth generation click on that give it just a moment to connect and you can
now have some options for it if you click on it you'll have all your different options and you can
use it as a reference display to be color accurate for whatever you're doing here so that's something
that they've mentioned you can actually turn on reference modes on the ipad itself which i showed
in my ipad os video so that's everything in mac os ventura there's a ton of different changes most of
them are very simple but very helpful especially the new system settings but additionally there
are a bunch of changes and updates that are on ios and ipad os that are little touches here
and there that just improve things so i didn't mention all of those such as being able to change
your message after you've sent it in messages and and much much more if you found anything
that you haven't seen mentioned anywhere else i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
and of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in the description
like i normally do if you haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed
