Many of the features introduced in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 will also be available on Mac.




A new screensaver that displays beautiful slow motion images from around the world.



When you log in, this screensaver will appear on your desktop.



'Widget'



Until now, widgets were only available in the notification center on Mac, but with macOS Sonoma, you can place widgets anywhere on the desktop.




When you open the app, the widget instantly blends into the background so it doesn't get in the way of your work.



You can also access iPhone widgets from your Mac





It is not necessary to install an application corresponding to the widget you want to check on the Mac, as long as the iPhone is nearby or on the same Wi-Fi network.




The Mac also makes great strides in gaming.



With Apple silicon leading to major advances in graphics performance across all Macs, it's also possible to make significant strides in gaming.



A new 'game mode' is added to macOS.



Enabling Game Mode slows down background tasks, allowing games to run at smoother, more consistent framerates.




In addition, it dramatically lowers the delay of audio such as AirPods, and doubles the Bluetooth sampling frequency to significantly reduce the input delay of Xbox and PlayStation controllers.





Game modes will be available in any game.



The Game Porting Toolkit makes it easy for developers to port games from other platforms to macOS.
