All the Top New Features in MacOS Sonoma

Apple has officially announced the next version of its desktop operating system. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect and which Macs are supported.

There's a new version of macOS in town, and it's called macOS Sonoma. At its Worldwide Developers Conference ( WWDC), Apple unveiled all the new features coming to its desktop operating system, from interactive widgets and new video conferencing tools to enhancements to Safari. We break down the top features coming to Macs later this year, and whether your machine is supported or not. If you'd like to see the full list of changes, Apple has it right here.

Is Your Mac Compatible?

MacOS Sonoma, also known as macOS 14, is a free update for Apple hardware, but older devices might not be supported. To find out which Mac model you have, tap on the Apple icon in the menu bar in the upper-left corner of your screen and click on About This Mac. Here’s a list of all the models that will be able to run Sonoma.

  • MacBook Air: 2018 and later
  • MacBook Pro: 2018 and later
  • Mac Mini: 2018 and later
  • iMac: 2019 and later
  • iMac Pro: 2017 and later
  • Mac Pro: 2019 and later
  • Mac Studio: 2022 and later

When Will MacOS Sonoma Arrive?

MacOS Sonoma is in a developer beta right now. Next month, expect Apple to launch a public beta. That means anyone will be able to download and try it out, but you may want to hold off as there might be a lot of bugs and glitches. Apple will continue to issue new beta versions and polish the experience until the fall, when it will officially launch Sonoma in September or October.

ZDR's Note: Some of those Macs are relatively recent ones and I have to wonder how long Intel Macs will be supported since Apple is now using its own processors. There are already some features of Sonoma that won't be available on Intel Macs.
