Sign in to edit
Not to be confused with macOS 10.13 (High Sierra).

macOS Ventura (version 13) is the nineteenth major release of macOS, developed by Apple Inc.[1] It was announced on June 6 at the 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2022),[2] and was released at 10 a.m. PT (Cupertino time) on October 24, 2022 to succeed macOS Monterey (version 12).[3]

New features[]

  • Clock — new native port for supported Macs.
  • Dogcow — reinstated in Page Setup dialog box to preview printing orientation.
  • Mail — adds improved Search and the ability to Undo Send.
  • Passkeys — aims to replace legacy passwords that can be tied to biometrics.
  • Safari — adds the ability to share Tab groups.
  • Stage Manager — supersedes window management previously handled by Mission Control with a version also introduced in iPadOS 16.1.
  • System Settings — replaces System Preferences with a design derived from iPadOS.
  • Weather — new native port for supported Macs.

Supported devices[]

macOS Ventura supports Mac models that were introduced in 2017 or later:

Installation[]

Supported systems can upgrade directly to the latest macOS release from versions as old as macOS 10.15 (Catalina). Upgrading to intermediate major releases (such as Ventura after subsequent macOS releases) can be accomplished by following one of the links on this Apple Support page.[4]

Development[]

The internal development of macOS 13 was codenamed "Rome" and had previously been speculated to be named "Mammoth" due to a recent trademark filing by Apple.[5]
