At the 2024 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple unveiled new versions of six of its systems, including macOS 15, named Sequoia.

I have been using macOS Sequoia for the past few days, but as it’s a developer version, it seems to have quite a few bugs.

For instance, many users online have reported that their Wi-Fi stopped working after the update.

Well, Apple, did you just give everyone an “offline mode” right off the bat? That’s so typical of Apple!

Although this update includes a lot of new features, the crucial AI functionalities won’t be available until the fall.

Therefore, we can’t experience the AI features and content just yet.

For now, we can only explore the features that are currently available and determine whether Apple’s new offerings are impressive or disappointing.

Let’s go through the features one by one.

1. New Dynamic Screen Savers
