Even though you may not be at risk personally, it’s highly recommended that you install the latest updates as soon as possible as the hackers exploiting these flaws could decide to widen their nets and use them in attacks against ordinary people. This is typical of Apple and in its security advisory, it explains that: “For our customers' protection, Apple doesn't disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available.”Īnother reason why Apple hasn’t said anything yet is that these security flaws are likely being used in highly-targeted attacks against governments, businesses and other influential people.

The first beta should be available to developers today, and a public beta will follow in the next few weeks.Īpple's WWDC keynote is ongoing, and this article will be updated with new details as we have them. MacOS 13 Ventura will launch later this year. The Messages app also picks up new features Apple added to iOS 16, including the ability to edit and unsend recently sent messages, and a mark-as-unread feature for message threads. Other features include a redesigned System Preferences app, now called Settings, that brings it more in line with the Settings app in iOS and iPadOS. Continuity Camera supports Center Stage and Portrait Mode effects, too, though presumably they will require newer iPhones with hardware that supports those features.

FaceTime calls can be handed off seamlessly between different Macs and iDevices, while Continuity Camera allows you to use an iPhone as a webcam (your iPhone's LED can even be used as a makeshift ring light). Apple's cross-device Continuity features were also updated.
