You can go back and forth between Mac and iPad with one mouse.
In today's WWDC, it was officially announced that the new MacOS was MacOS MONTEREY after the name of California.This name was a rumor, so it was a good idea, but this announcement was a surprise, and the quality of Mac users' lives is likely to improve, and there are big new features.
Below, I will introduce monterey.Developer beta is released today, but public beta is in July and the official release is scheduled for fall.
MacOS's iOS continues
Today's Apple's announcement was a new feature of iOS and iPados, which could be brought to Mac.For example, FaceTime's new features, Shareplay, which share the media with friends, "Share with you" that makes the links and media from various apps in various apps, "Focus" that creates time to concentrate, Memorial AppliesOverhaul, etc.
The theme of today's announcements is that everything can be moved in almost the same way on mobile and personal computers.
IPad and Mac get married with universal control
The next one is universal control, the biggest additional function to MacOS.This allows you to operate with one keyboard and mouse while linking both iMac, MacBook and iPad.In the demonstration of Apple's Senior Vice President Craig Federigi, the mouse moved from iPad to MacBook and iMac, and it was like a monitor that was all connected to one machine.No settings or connections are required, just put the iPad next to the MacOS device and use the mouse.
It has been a second display for the iPad itself for a long time, but the universal control has deepened the link and can drag and drop files between terminals.It is also OK to control the iPad gesture with a MacBook trackpad.I don't know what's going on, but I can do it anyway, so it's wonderful, at least in the demonstration.
AIRPLAY and shortcuts are also on Mac
AirPlay, a function that allows you to share the media from Mac to TV or speakers.It will move in some ways in the future.In other words, you can cast from a mobile device to a Mac.So it is possible to play smartphone music with a Mac speaker, or use a portrait mode that has joined FaceTime using a large Mac screen.
After that, iOS's IFTTT -like automation function, shortcuts, come to MacOS.The existing Automator app is not gone, and Automator tasks can be imported into a shortcut friendly interface.There is also a ready -made shortcut library, so you may already have the operation you always do as a set.Like other apps, shortcuts are easy to share with friends and colleagues.
Safari's big overhaul
In today's announcement, the appearance change was noticeable about Safari, but there are some functional upgrades.The main focus of design changes is to enhance the layout space efficiency using compact tabs and more clean browsers.
The biggest new feature of Safari is the Tab Group.It is literally a group of tabs, adding a category on the toolbar on the left side of the browser, and summarizing the tabs for each theme.If you spend time on a big trip or expensive shopping, you can use a tab group to reopen it again and restart the work once.
The tab group can be used on iOS, but what is good for Safari fans is that functional expansion can be used on mobile.
You may wonder why iOS and macOS have become one this time, but this time, I just moved a little.
