You could say: “But, José, you could do this or that,” and I might agree with you, but why the same doesn’t happen with Edge? I assure you this doesn’t happen with Microsoft Edge.

Web pages consume a lot of memory, and when I’m writing a long article – such as this review – I need to reload the page. I tried to go back to Safari during the macOS Sonoma beta period, but as of now, with Release Candidate 2, it’s still as bad as it was with macOS Ventura. It uses a ton of memory, and pages become unresponsive, making the M2 Max Mac Studio with 32GB of RAM look bad.

Even though I would love to go back to the full Apple ecosystem, I can’t justify Safari at the moment. If you follow my work at BGR, you know I dropped Safari for Microsoft Edge a few months ago. It used to be worse during the early beta phase Image source: José Adorno for BGRĪt least Apple has made it easier to search for old messages on iMessage, a long-time issue with most all devices. You can also read more about Live Stickers in our iOS 17 review. In addition, I don’t get the parallel effect, but for obvious reasons. If I send a sticker from the iPhone and see it on the Mac, it looks bigger. In the example below, the sticker I sent from the Mac is small, but it looks the same if I see it on my iPhone. During the beta phase, it was really hard to try these reactions, but Apple really improved it for the Release Candidate version, making it really easy to use them on FaceTime and third-party apps.Īpple isn’t adding the new menu available with iOS 17 for iMessage, and Live Stickers are just weird. One of the new features lets you react with your hands. Unfortunately, even though Cupertino added the ability to anyone join a FaceTime call with the previous macOS version, I don’t think I ever used FaceTime for work – although I think it’s pretty useful to help my grandmother when she’s having trouble with an app. It’s not the pandemic anymore, but the company is confident it might get some Zoom users. I prefer having the widgets display the battery, the weather, and stocks.įinally, another tweak that I very much appreciate is tapping the wallpaper on the desktop to make all your apps vanish so you can pick up something on your desktop and then paste it on a new app.įaceTime focuses on video conferencing, and iMessage lacks proper integration Image source: Apple Inc.īesides screensavers, Apple is betting a lot on video conferencing features for macOS Sonoma. You can add shortcuts, photos, weather, and so much more. While it looks loaded on small displays, such as the 14-inch MacBook Pro, trying widgets using the Apple Studio Display is nice. Can you spot the little windows on the corners of the desktop? Image source: José Adorno for BGR Apple also continued its focus on widgets to the Apple Watch, and you can read about that here in our watchOS 10 review. You can add any iPhone, iPad, or Mac widget you’d like. This is a concept that Windows users have been familiar with for years, and Apple has added to Sonoma. With the Mac’s desktop, you can finally add widgets to it. With macOS Sonoma, finally, you can look at Sonoma Horizon – in addition to several new locations thanks to the Apple TV screen savers, which can turn into still wallpapers. Personally, I wasn’t a big fan of Apple’s latest wallpapers, as they didn’t show a photo of the place they would represent. In addition, Apple decided to bring new “breathtaking” slow-motion screen savers from locations around the world, so every time you wake up your Mac, you’ll be presented with an Apple TV screensaver. Starting with its Lock Screen, it looks similar to iPadOS 17 but without the widgets. Following the Home Screen and Lock Screen redesigns for the iPhone and iPad over these past few years, Apple decided to try something new for the Mac. MacOS Sonoma might look very different from previous versions of the Mac if you’d like. It’s all about how it looks Image source: José Adorno for BGR
