Apple revealed in WWDC 2022 today that the next version of the Mac operating system will be called MacOS Ventura, and the new MacOS will soon be available to developers in the form of an early beta. Among the many new or improved features, notable new features include stage manager, which helps you work with many open windows.
As expected, the new MacOS Ventura is a further improvement of the operating system, rather than an overall change brought about by the 2020 MacOS Big Sur or version 11. However, the new version will also be named MacOS 13.
The new MacOS Ventura adds stage manager, which is a way to handle multiple windows of many applications that are open at the same time.
Stage manager is basically a single window mode of application. When you click an application, it becomes a single window, and everything else will be moved to the left. You can group and arrange windows and switch between groups. Click on the desktop to hide all windows, making it easier to get files from the desktop. Apple really brought back single window mode from OS X 10.3 -- but that was 20 years ago.
In order to better manage users' apps, MacOS Ventura has improved such components as mission control, CMD tab and launchpad.
"With stage manager, you can focus on the application you are using without distractions," said Craig federaghi. " [it ] automatically arranges all my windows to one side and puts the applications I am currently using in the front and center."
When the user proposes the second application, the first application will "gracefully move to the left side of the screen" together with other recent applications. Stage manager can "centralize all open windows of an application into a single stack", and users can directly drag files to applications in the heap.

Users can now call FaceTime from iphone Switch to Mac to answer. The continuity camera experience is blessed with center stage and portrait mode.
In terms of games, Craig claims that Apple silicon has almost changed everything. In the next few years, the underlying API of metal 3 can fully release the potential of Apple's self-developed chips. Metal effects upscaling will run at a higher frame rate by rendering lower resolution frames and upscaling. By rendering low resolution frames and getting the "upgrade" of metal, users can get a higher running frame rate. The fast resource loading API helps minimize the loading time.
In terms of passwords, Apple has the same idea as Microsoft - to eventually replace the less secure plaintext password through the biometric technology built into the device. Apple, Google, Microsoft and other companies all announced their support for this approach about a week ago. Keys will work seamlessly across platforms -- a standard known as the Fido alliance.
Apple still boasts that Safari is driving the development of web standards. Safari is now known by Apple as the world's fastest browser and the most power-saving browser on the Mac. In addition, they have put the URL bar back in the right place. The ability to share tags with friends on safari makes it easy to discover the Internet together. Apple did not announce Safari UI improvements during WWDC 2022 keynote
Mail is getting a lot of intelligent functions, such as reminders and scheduled sending. In addition, e-mail has also been provided with new search functions and automatic correction and typo correction functions.
For a long time, there were rumors that Apple had been planning to launch a search engine. From the improvement of spotlight and email applications, the company's symptoms are becoming more and more obvious.
In the new system, you can perform quick operations directly from spotlight, such as starting a timer. In addition, the results in spotlight become richer.
