Apple officially announced macOS 15 Sequoia at WWDC 2024 on Monday, with Apple Intelligence, iPhone mirroring, Continuity updates, automatic window tiling — finally — and a cross-platform Passwords app. The developer beta is available today, with public betas in July. The full version releases in fall 2024.
Most significantly, MacOS Sequoia will include Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI features that work across iPhone, iPad, and iOS. Among the features mentioned at WWDC: it’ll be able to manage your notifications, summarize text in emails and other apps, and automatically draft replies to emails. Siri will now be able to act for you in apps, and pull contextual information based on your personal information — all with voice commands. Apple Intelligence will be available “this summer” with the Sequoia beta, and requires an M1 or later processor.
The Mac is also getting iPhone mirroring, which lets you control your phone from your Mac. You’ll get phone notifications on the Mac as well as audio passthrough. Finally, a non-touchscreen interface for your phone! When using mirroring, your iPhone stays locked, and even in StandBy mode.

Apple also updated Safari with a bunch of new features, including highlights — which use machine learning to detect interesting things on the page, and additions to Reader mode, including summaries and tables of contents, presumably also generated with machine learning. It also has Viewer mode for on-page video content.

The Keychain is getting a major update, with a new cross-platform Passwords app that can store many new types of account credentials, including Wi-Fi passwords, passkeys, verification codes, and shared passwords. It’ll be available on iOS, iPad, Mac, visionOS, and Windows.

All the types of passwords that Passwords now supports.
Apple is finally bringing automatic window tiling to MacOS Sequoia, potentially sherlocking a bunch of utilities we never should have needed in the first place.
