Apple’s latest operating system for Mac models is macOS Sonoma 14. This update focuses on improving Mac functions, particularly video conferencing and gaming performance.
Video Conferencing: macOS Sonoma introduces Presenter Overlay, which keeps you part of the conversation when sharing your screen on a video call. You can also react with your hands, adding fun 3D augmented reality effects.
Gaming: Game Mode automatically gives games top priority on the CPU and GPU of your Mac, lowering usage for background tasks and reducing latency with wireless accessories.
