Apple reportedly plans to release macOS Sequoia in September

For most people, it's no surprise that Apple releases new versions of iOS in September after the launch of the latest iPhones. However, with macOS, the company usually holds off on major updates until October. This year, however, it seems like Apple could release macOS Sequoia along with iOS 18 in September.

macOS Sequoia coming next month

The message comes from MacRumorswhich claims to have learned from sources that macOS Sequoia will be released in mid-September along with iOS 18, tvOS 18 and watchOS 11. One of the reasons for this would be to promote cross-platform features such as iPhone Mirroring, which allows users to control their iPhone screen via a Mac.

macOS Sequoia also includes the new Passwords app, which syncs with data from the same app on iOS 18 and iPadOS 18.

In recent years, Apple has held off on releasing the new version of macOS until October or November – especially since the company usually announces new Macs around this time of year.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple is accelerating development of iOS 18.0, which would be ready earlier than expected, so that engineers can focus on iOS 18.1 using Apple Intelligence. In a new post on Tuesday, Gurman hinted that development of iOS 18.0 just wrapped up with the release of Beta 7.

It's worth noting that macOS 15.0 will also lack Apple Intelligence features that were pushed to macOS 15.1.

Apple is expected to hold a special event in September to announce the iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4, and the launch of its latest software.
