After the California Streaming event, in which we have seen the new iPhone 13, the new Apple Watch Series 7 and the new iPad and iPad mini, Apple has confirmed the date of the new operating systems that give life to all of them. The chosen date is September 20.
The next step after the Release Candidate and waiting for macOS Monterey
Yesterday Apple released the Release Candidate of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8 and tvOS 15. These versions will be the last betas we see this summer and they will give way to the final version of the operating systems just in time for the arrival of the new iPhones.
Meanwhile, the development of operating systems will continue to progress, as we hope to see the iOS 15.1 betas soon with several new features that will arrive after the first final version of iOS 15. News that, if we are guided by the calendar of previous years, could O well arrive shortly before christmas or appear during the so-called “spring update”.
Of all the operating systems mentioned, we need to talk about macOS Monterey. The Mac operating system will arrive somewhat later than its iPhone and iPad counterparts. We do not know Apple’s forecasts for the arrival of this system, but we can draw some conclusions.
The iOS 15 beta has reached nine versions, including the RC released yesterday. If we expect the macOS 12 Monterey beta to also reach these same nine versions, taking into account that we are currently in the sixth and that we can wait a minimum of 15 days between versions, we can calculate an extra wait of about two months. They are numbers made quickly, only in Cupertino do they know the arrival date of macOS 12 Monterey, but it could well be that we will see it arrive after the launch of the new 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros, scheduled for an event in October.
For now, returning to the field of officially confirmed data, what we do know is that there are many new features that come with iOS 15 and the rest of the systems. News that, in many cases, reach another level in the newly presented devices and that we will be able to enjoy shortly.
