Web Apps are a proper game changer. This should have been place ages ago. Seems like it would have been quite easy to make HTML apps a while ago, either way. Happy it’s here now!!
No, it’s not. WPA has been around for a long time, and many websites have provided this option for a while. But unless it’s a frequently used platform like RUclips, Twitter, online office, and such, providing WPA has no use. And the way Safari gives is no more than a quick bookmark, which Edge has been provided for quite a while, and the web page isn’t optimized for WPA at all.
thanks for the review. Upgrading from Monterey to Sonoma now on my VirtualBox. Glad to see iOS coming into the 2000's technology! ;) tbh, I'm trying to learn it, so these are good tips.
I have had so many problems upgrading to a new OS in the past. If I upgrade to this new system, can I be assured that everything on my Mac will run as it is now? I am a writer so I can't afford to lose anything.
screen sharing client was improved with a menu of latest connections. Tip- you have to add to your dock the screen sharing client app by during any session drag your app icon to some place within the dock
💯🙌 thanks Stephen! I’m looking forward to receiving my new MacBook Air M2 to try it out, especially the webcam, spotlight and the safari web apps (btw, how well does it work with Google docs/sheets/alides? So annoying to not have native apps as the web app is just sooo slow to load)
I do have some tips for email here: ruclips.net/video/Edmj7rQz2CA/видео.htmlsi=4FiU63bFsWEvAq6E and Safari Profiles may be the killer feature: ruclips.net/video/1CKEkd09LZo/видео.htmlsi=p18VwmjFy2UWxm-w
I upgrading yesterday and I'm already regretting it. Autosave no longer functions and I can't edit jpg files anymore. I've spent hours trying to fix it. Looks like I'm going to have to roll back to the previous OS.
Hello, may I ask a question out of topic because you are dealing with this kind of thing more often. Very short and quick question. Everyone says different things and I am kind of confused. please help. I bought a Macbook Pro M3 Pro. and 98% of the time I am going to use it as a desktop machine mainly for photo editing Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop for professional work. The question is, is it good for my battery health to keep my Macbook connected to AC power all the time, of course once a week disconnect from AC power and leave to work on buttery? what should I do? I want to say in advance that my MacBook Optimized battery charging is ON
Why does Music app suck even more than in Ventura? I wasn't expecting this upgrade to take place without my knowledge; I had to install iTunes with retroactive to use the ipod classic.
Love osx except the shitty folder in lunchpad. The bloody folders keep moving when dragging icons into them when they are in the edge of the screen. Can't believe it's not fixed still. Same crap on iPhone.
I have an admittedly absurd array of monitors and I run a Plugable USBC4K to extend my desktop and Display Maid and organize app windows with consistency. I’m now very curious if Sonoma will cooperate with these AND if those apps will jive with widgets. Hovering over update button……still hovering……..
Interactive Widgets? You mean those which we all Mac Fans criticised 15 years ago in Windows VISTA. seriously is that what people are excited about? MacOS annual upgrades are just like iPhone upgrades where major changes happen once in 5 years.
I hate the way the new Lock Screen won’t show more than one account at a time. When I first saw it I thought the update had deleted some of my accounts. No reason to sacrifice usability for (very slightly) cleaner looks.
You had me at "... because you're Chaotic Evil". OCD&D people like me despises disorder, so I am with you on being Lawful Neutral ;-)
Haha thanks I’m glad someone caught that 😂
I had you pegged as Neutral Good, I'm honestly shocked@@beardfm
I tell people I don’t have OCD because the letters are in the wrong water. If I have anything it has to be CDO.
Web Apps are a proper game changer. This should have been place ages ago. Seems like it would have been quite easy to make HTML apps a while ago, either way. Happy it’s here now!!
It's funny because the old school Dashboard feature in OS X allowed you to make web apps! But glad it's back now.
web apps have been there for a long time for those who use a more useful web browser

For MacOS users, Web Apps are something new 🤔
Thanks for the great tour of the new features. Gives me a good sense of what I need to do. 😊😊😊
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏
currently installed on my new 15 inch Mac Air
Great review - to the point! Your videos are a breath of fresh air compared to the mainstream reviews.
Thank you, appreciate that!
@@beardfm Hi mate I have the M1 MBP running Monterey. I don't need the new functions in Sonoma. Would you still upgrade to Sonoma or Ventura?
Wow! Starlight….is also the name for our Home! ⭐️ Great video by the way! Excited to upgrade to Sonoma!
Thank you! Appreciate it 🙏🏻
Super video ... always great content and effective communications!!
Thank you! Appreciate it 🙏🏻

I’m loving the battery widget and web apps. The new Lock Screen will take getting used to since I use the magnifier all the time though.
Hotdogs for lunch, Hamburguers for dinner you go American!
This was so clean and crisp - subscribed!
Appreciate that!
Great video Stephen. Thank you.
Thanks Simon!
Wow Chick-fil-A widget, what a time to be alive
Great and succinct content! Thank you! Subbed
Appreciate that!
Great vid Rob, thanks for sharing this. We also need your updates on bugs if there's some. Subscribed!
Thank you! Appreciate it
How is the battery life with sonoma?
nothing groundbreaking but still nice small quality of life features :)
Safari's feature is awesome! The same for the widgets! I'll update today at night lol
It’s been great!
This was very helpful. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you. Updating today
Welcome! Thanks for watching
Good Video. I really like the Web Page App feature
Thanks! And same, it's pretty useful
The channel content and images are very high quality. It is surprising how few subscribers the channel has.
Trying to grow! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thanks for this video, your quick summary will help me get up to speed on Sonoma when I download it today.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏
So it’s windows vista now, got it.
woa, live wallpaperzzzz.... Apple doesn't need much to excite a modern youtuber
Great video! Definitely going to try out these new features! Subbed!
Appreciate that!
Is there any way to revert the starting screen to an older version? I don't like the image/password at the bottom of the screen.
Unfortunately not, that's the only option I know of
I have had so many problems upgrading to a new OS in the past. If I upgrade to this new system, can I be assured that everything on my Mac will run as it is now? I am a writer so I can't afford to lose anything.
Glad I watched this vid, as I now know none of these things matters to me, so I'll wait until I absolutely have to.

@Stephen Robles NIce video ! I also wanted to know where did you get that cool shirt from ? Thanks !
Thanks! That’s a shirt from atp.fm
Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome! Enjoy the M2 MacBook Air, and I use Google Docs / Sheets / Slides all the time on my Mac in Safari and it works great.
macOS feels like taking a vacation if you’re forced to use a computer all day for work.
I have a MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2022) with the Apple M1 Pro. What are your thoughts on it? Should I download this new update or not? Thank you!! ☺
Especially in terms of battery because I do not want to ruin it.
None of these features are needed nor wanted from where I sit. I yearn for the old days when it was all so...simple. Thanks for the video.
Simple and clean video stephen. One question: Does sonoma affects battery performance?
Thanks.
Thank you! I haven’t noticed anything significant change in battery life, but I also just upgraded to an M3 Pro so may not be the best test 😅
@@beardfm Thank u. Appreciate your swift response.
how did you hook up the Mac mini to the MacBook I have a Mac mini m2 pro and a amcbook pro 2019 !
Nice review. 👍
Thanks! Appreciate it
Ooo Arial landscapes. Love seeing expansive Sans Serif horizons
I was waiting for someone to catch that 😅
Watching this video as I’m updating!
Hey man! Appreciate it 🙏🏻
New Tampa?! Hello from Brooksville! 😂😂
Hey! Need to do an Apple meetup in Tampa sometime...
Thank you, I just wanted to know why I need to update my software.🍺
Enjoy the updates!
I think I would be more tempted to upgrage by a few really useful housekeeping functions such as being able to automatically delete junk mail.
I do have some tips for email here: ruclips.net/video/Edmj7rQz2CA/видео.htmlsi=4FiU63bFsWEvAq6E and Safari Profiles may be the killer feature: ruclips.net/video/1CKEkd09LZo/видео.htmlsi=p18VwmjFy2UWxm-w
Good Stuff, Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
one fatal reason why not : printer preset not sticking. this is critical if you do a lot of print (i.e. id photo)
could you please comment on the stability so far. and if you have a MacBook battery life
a form of - x reasons not to upgrade to macOS Sonoma (yet)
It's been very stable for me, all audio and video peripherals are working. Final Cut has crashed a couple times but that's not unusual.
I get full-reboot crashes at least once a day. I’d hold for for a bit.
AnyList FTW!
Love it!
I upgrading yesterday and I'm already regretting it. Autosave no longer functions and I can't edit jpg files anymore. I've spent hours trying to fix it. Looks like I'm going to have to roll back to the previous OS.
I saw Thonotosassa you are like down the street from me, I’m in Temple Terrace across US301 lol
Small world! I go to that Publix all the time!
I mean, wow, wow, wow! 🎉
Amazing update. Safari has no address bar for me and attempting to customise the toolbar crashes it... And that's only 5 minutes of using it.
Can you autofill codes (sms) without using the safari browser?
great video brotha👍🏼
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
This is all cosmetic and playtime stuff, why is this an entire version increment and new OS name?
Because it is the best.
I can’t change the animated wallpaper for some reason. It starts downloading the new one but cancels halfway.

I would not keep it plugged in that much. At least unplug when you’re done working every day.
Great tshirt, were do you buy it
That’s from the atp.fm podcast!
Great video! Have they updated iMovie at all?
Wow appreciate that! And I don’t think iMovie has any new features here
@@beardfm brother. 13.6 is only showing
Why does Music app suck even more than in Ventura? I wasn't expecting this upgrade to take place without my knowledge; I had to install iTunes with retroactive to use the ipod classic.
Did it and its FANTASTIC!!
It's a good upgrade!
Love osx except the shitty folder in lunchpad. The bloody folders keep moving when dragging icons into them when they are in the edge of the screen. Can't believe it's not fixed still. Same crap on iPhone.
On os sonoma I find the sound on RUclips cuts out randomly .. I have to make a duplicate tab and its ok again ..
Post updating my os I am unable to login my mac
My 2015 Mac maxed out on Monterey

Hm would be curious to know 👀
Great content. Subscribed.
Thanks 🙏🏻 appreciate that!
Hoping there is an Apple Mail widget in the future.
Updated my Mac 2020 m1 2 days ago to 13.6 and my laptop screen display went blind, been using hdmi for 2 days now , hopefully this update will fix it
Ooph that’s very strange. Keep me posted!
just happened to my with 13.6, hopefully a full reboot fix it
@@beardfm I will
@@beardfm the update didn’t fix it
Nice!
Interactive Widgets? You mean those which we all Mac Fans criticised 15 years ago in Windows VISTA. seriously is that what people are excited about? MacOS annual upgrades are just like iPhone upgrades where major changes happen once in 5 years.
Anybody know how this relates to performance when editing video? Is it faster? Is it the same?? I need answers Lol
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac and use Final Cut, an update last week increases performance!
some of the features are game changers for me but I downloaded the public beta. I cant seem to find the new update, has it released?
If you were on the latest beta it may not show up for you since it’s the same as the public release
Widgets on the desktop is just visual noise to me. I would rather a key command to a interactive widget presentation that having all this noise.
Yeah I'm experimenting to see which I want on there. Right now the podcast one is really useful since I don't have to open the app.
you've earned a sub to the channel. i've seen you somewhere else tho, what other channel did you work for? can't remember the name of it
I’m on the Riverside channel as well! Also have a few videos on AppleInsider
My Mac book air (M1 chip) shut down slower than before.
Otherwise all the same except the screen saver changed
hello there
i was thinking to update my mac m1 air too
would it be safe now or is it have some issues besides what you said?
@@benedict1230 hi!! It's doing well. I have not seen any major issues
@@shahidrahathossain5199 thank you 😊
dude after the update, my battery's been draining very fastt!!!!. It just feels soo bad after the update, its draining too fast.
hey bro which mac u are using
is it m1 Air
Yes m1 air , Do you have any solution , pls suggest
@@benedict1230
Do i need to update first to macos Ventura 13.6 before i can get macos Sonoma? Thanks!
Nope! You can go right to Sonoma
what about battery perfomance does any differences after update
My M3 MacBook Pro has been great on sonoma
The strangest thing is that when my iPhone rings, it appears on my Windows Laptop and not on my Mac mini M2 Pro even though both are next to the phone
I can’t install it on my 2017 MBP 😢
I have an intel iMac 2020. Should I upgrade to the Sonoma ?
I believe it's safe, yes
Its not available in uk yet 😢😢😢
It’s not available , as of 0930 central time USA either.
@@christinamichelle8790 cheers mate
Should be available in the next hour!
Does it significantly drain my battery?
I haven’t found that to be the case!
Sooooo, they are Vista features.
Nice to see a NORMAL Wallpaper again --instead those odd things..
Not liking the lockscreen
Bro, i am using intel macbook pro 16 - 2019 model, I didnt get macOS Sonoma update 😢
Not sure if this is specifically for M series macbooks only ?
I'm pretty sure this update is for 2018 or newer macs. It's just that it's not available for download yet.
I hate the way the new Lock Screen won’t show more than one account at a time. When I first saw it I thought the update had deleted some of my accounts. No reason to sacrifice usability for (very slightly) cleaner looks.
Ah that's a good point
Is it safe to install? Cool video 😊
Nope it’s messed up
I run several audio recording apps, video devices, etc. and it's been fine for me
Not sure why but I don’t see the option to upgrade to Sonoma on my MBP 16” M1 Max
Probably releasing within the hour!
How reliable is Apple Watch unlock on this version?
Very! It’s been working great for me
@@beardfm I will wait for the M3 to come round then buy the whole package.
ive got this on 2011 mac hehe 😈😈😈
anyone know if it is possible to delete wallpapers?
You can't remove them from the settings menu but you can delete the download!
Me and my 2015 MacBook Pro never heard of this
🥲
windows 11 going another level with CO PILOT AI ... but still we're talking abt this mac cosmetic changes ... :) 😂😂😂😂
chaotic and evil! 😂
Haha that’s right
Download link of the wallpaper 1:10 please.
It’s part of the built-in wallpapers that come with Sonoma!
