Apple just released the 3rd revision of their new operating system, Sequoia 15.2.
Sequoia, also called macOS 15, isn’t just another incremental update—it’s an evolution that promises transformative improvements across key areas. If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the move, let’s explore the major reasons why now is the ideal time to make the shift.
One of the primary reasons to upgrade is the improved security.
Some of the new security features include real-time monitoring that identifies and neutralizes threats before they can cause harm. Additionally, there’s enhanced end-to-end encryption that secures data across all systems and workflows. Furthermore, AI-driven threat detection helps stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
How to Seamlessly Transition to Sequoia
The good news? Upgrading to Sequoia is more straightforward than ever. Just go to your System Settings and select Software Upgrade. All Macs from 2019 and later are eligible for the upgrade.
Here are my key features in the latest version of the Mac operating system:
Safari Distraction Control
Wish you could do away with annoying ads, images, videos, and whatever else you run into on the web? You can now make them disappear with just a click. With Distraction Control turned on, all you have to do is point and click on an element, and poof! It’s gone. The web feels safe again. Learn all about Safari Distraction Control.
New Passwords app
Start with good security habits using the new Password app in macOS Sequoia.
The Passwords app ties into Safari and it’s also on iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, so your passwords are accessible no matter which platform you are using. Extensions are available for Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Better Notes app
With Notes in macOS Sequoia, Apple has added several new features to make it even more useful:
You can now record audio clips within a note.
Notes can create a searchable transcript that’s in sync with the audio.
Sections are collapsible to make it easier to scan your note.
Support for color highlights to make text stand out.
Presenter preview
Lets you choose a window or the full screen before you share it when connecting to an external display or using AirPlay.
Window tiling
With macOS Sierra’s window tiling, you drag a window to the edge of the screen and you’ll find a place on the desktop where you can slot that window. You can sort your windows and make it easier to find the one you need.
Weather App
You can now place an icon for the Weather app in your menu bar so you can get current conditions and click through to forecasts.
Apple Intelligence
I love the automatic summaries, writing tools, and improved photo search. These are all available now in Sierra 15.2
With all these improvements, it is no longer time to wait. Upgrade today!
