Posted: 06 Jun 2022 01:04 PM PDT

Apple's announced its next-generation operating systems today, and we've already covered what's new in iOS 16 and macOS Ventura.

This works on iPads powered by Apple's M1 chipset only, and it organizes apps and windows automatically. It also lets you create overlapping windows of different sizes in a...

macOS Ventura gets Stage Manager, option to use iPhone as a webcam

Posted: 06 Jun 2022 12:57 PM PDT

Today at WWDC, Apple unveiled macOS Ventura which will come to its Mac computers in the Fall. In keeping with recent macOS announcements, Ventura is a subtle update that mostly keeps the visual style intact. The biggest new feature is Stage Manager. It's an overhaul of Mission Control, that you enable from the Command Center (and can disable if you choose to). Whereas Mission Control showed all running apps on the screen, Stage Manager keeps your currently-opened app in focus and bunches the other apps by category to the side. You can basically "live" in this view and continue...
