Apple today seeded the fourth beta of macOS Ventura 13.5 to developers for testing purposes, with the beta introduced two weeks after the release of the third beta. Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, with the betas available through the Software Update mechanism in System Settings. No notable features have been found in macOS 13.5, so it's not yet clear what's included in the update. With macOS Sonoma now in development and slated for launch this fall, Apple's work on macOS 13 will soon be wrapping up. macOS 13.5 is likely to be one of the final updates to ‌macOS Ventura‌.

Macworld If you’re an Apple fan, 2023 has already been a great year. We got the new MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro and M2 Max processors, a 15-inch MacBook Air, a Mac Pro with M2 Ultra processor, and of course, the Apple Vision Pro headset. But according to a new report, lots more products are in the works. Following the launch of the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9, and a new Apple Watch Ultra later this year, Mark Gurman reports in his latest Power On newsletter that Apple has numerous products in development for release in 2024 and beyond, including several that use the M3 processor: 13-inch MacBook Pro (codenamed J504)14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros (codenamed J514…

Apple’s latest Mac Pro targets professionals with highly demanding computing workloads. But we talked to those professionals, and they don’t want it — because Apple’s other computers are just too good. Apple’s latest Mac Pro was finally revealed at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference as a machine for the most power user of power users. The video discussed audio engineering, color grading, and video transcoding. Apple’s product page mentions code compiling, animation, compositing 8K scenes, 3D rendering, and “analyzing enormous datasets.” This isn’t just for pros, Apple seems to claim; it’s for capital-P Pros. Exactly who these pros are and why the Mac Pro is the perfect device for them remains somewhat unclear to me, even after testing the new…

A moment’s thought, please, for John B. Goodenough – the professor of engineering who won a Nobel Prize for development of the lithium-ion batteries that power most of our portable devices. He was also notable for his earlier work on the technology that made possible random access memory (RAM). Goodenough died on Sunday, aged 100 … more… The post Lithium-ion battery pioneer John Goodenough dies, aged 100 appeared first on 9to5Mac.
