The next version of the Mac operating system is called macOS Ventura and it will be officially released this fall. It will have many exciting new features such as Continuity Camera, Stage Manger, Safari Passkeys and more. If you can’t wait until the fall to join the Ventura winner, you can try using the beta – if you don’t mind if you might run into a bug here or there.
The Ventura developer beta is currently available, but it is intended for software developers enrolled in the Apple Developer Program. For those not in the developer program, Apple released a public beta on Monday.
