A few minutes ago Apple released macOS Mojave beta 9 for developers. True to its tradition of delivering betas on Mondays, this week repeats beta, a sign of the upcoming September keynote. Betas are usually released every two weeks, but this time they have not left a week off.
We are waiting for specific data from the Keynote for September, where they will inform us of the availability of the final version of macOS Mojave, scheduled for the second half of September, which will bring all the news and performance improvements known in the current betas .
Although we do not know the details that beta 9 will bring, since it will be the developers who detect variations, we can detail the what's new in macOS Mojave.
What's New in macOS Mojave:
- We found the new dynamic desktop backgrounds, that change tonality as the day progresses.
- As soon as the betas are installed, in the initial configuration, they let us choose if we prefer the "daytime" option known to date, or the dark mode, like great novelty of Mojave. These options can be changed later from preferences.
- La Stacks function, to group desktop icons into stacks by classes.
- New features in the Finder to: shorten videos without going into Photos or QuickTime, make changes to files without opening preview, directly in Quick Look.
- New screenshot features.
- Continuity comes to the iPhone camera. We can insert into a document on the Mac, the image just captured from the iPhone.
- Certain iOS applications are created for the Mac, as is the case with: Bag or Home.
- Very representative change of the Mac App Store, to improve the suggestion of Applications.
In the latest betas, we've spotted some details of the more than 200 semi-hidden details that appear in every new version of macOS, including:
- Maps is adapted to dark mode, when in the initial version it was not.
- Fixed bug in brightness setting on the 2018 MacBook Pros.
- A second dynamic background.
By cons, since the last beta we no longer have the option of group FaceTime. It is an option launched in the WWDC keynote but when Apple perishes it prefers to debug it more before its launch. Any additional news, we anticipate it as quickly as possible on this page.
