macOS Sonoma’s public beta is live and continues the ‘continuity’ trend Apple has been pushing for the past few years.
But in case that wasn’t enough of an iPhone vibe for you, the other big update that comes with this public beta is that you can now put widgets on your desktop. Widgets! … Now, this is neat. It also strikes me as one of those iOS carryovers that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense on a computer.
Is the writer even aware that Apple first introduced widgets in 1984 as “Desk Accessories”? This isn’t an iOS thing that carried over to the Mac; it’s a Mac thing that went through a lot of iterations over the years, migrated to iOS, and then came back to the Mac in a form that’s almost exactly the same as when they were originally introduced decades ago.
But did they fix the settings app?
What do you mean by ‘fix’?
I haven’t noticed any noteworthy differences, by the way.
I think he means bringing back the catalina settings app. Loved it, especially compared to the overly minimalist thing we have now.
