Apple fans know that there is anticipation for the release of major software updates in September. The new releases for Mac is Sequoia (MacOS 15) and for IOS 18 for iPhone and iPad. Users will find some of the features shared between the two systems as the platforms will move closer to overlapping functions.
Here are some highlights in MacOS:

Apple Intelligence will help with writing and communications with offers to rewrite, proofread, and summarize text in writing focused apps such as Mail, Notes, Pages and third-party apps. We’ll see better capabilities to clean up unwanted background in photos. Siri will be able to offload some queries in a private cloud to provide better answers. You can also type queries to Siri.
You can find more details with searches on YouTube. See my favorites at Zollotech, MacRumors, MacMost, and Brandon Butch.
