Apple’s macOS 15 operating system is nearly here, and that means changes are coming. Here are six things Apple needs to fix in the next version of macOS.
This story is part of our complete Apple WWDC coverage I use macOS every day, and there’s no doubt that I love it as an operating system. Yet, despite how full of genuinely brilliant features it is, there are still a handful of things I just wish it did better.
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are already miles ahead of Siri, even with their tendency to hallucinate. Now imagine something with ChatGPT-like capabilities that was integrated tightly into macOS — something that would be just as adept at finding an answer online as it would be performing system tasks. We already know that WWDC is going to be heavily focused on AI, and that means there’s an opportunity for Apple to unleash the best version of Siri we’ve ever seen.
Better desktop widgets The latest version of the Mac operating system, macOS Sonoma, was a fairly modest upgrade. While it didn’t contain many earth-shattering features, it did come with an array of desktop widgets, some of which were borrowed from iOS. Yet, I’ve never been able to shake the feeling that they’re just simple iPhone ports that don’t quite feel at home on the Mac.
One reason for optimism is Apple’s introduction of the game porting toolkit, which speeds up the process of bridging Windows games onto macOS for developers and end users. Yet, it’s also an area where some serious improvements could be made to help the Mac gaming ecosystem thrive even more. By default, I have quite a lot of app icons living in my Mac’s menu bar. So many, in fact, that if I end up with a few more than my usual contingent running across the top of the screen, some of the app icons actually get lost under the notch. Irritatingly, they don’t become visible again until I close some apps and banish their menu bar icons. You would have thought this is something Apple would have noticed in testing, but here we are.
