macOS 15: All The Little Things

[KoolAid-Drink]

All the little things and changes here and there, changes from Sonoma, and more — post them here! Let's keep this fun and positive!

"Apple Intelligence", aka give us all your data

 

[fisherking]

... and it begins: the rants, before we even install & run the OS. business as usual on the forums.

i'll install and dive in this week, and then see how things run, and what i think of the OS (and apple intelligence)...

I now have separate devices to install these on without affecting my daily drivers yay 😂

 

[neuralengine]

Have they added a setting to limit the battery to 80%?

Can someone with access please confirm how much of the AI features can be turned off?

This isn't a "little thing" since it's in the marketing info, but the iPhone Mirroring feature looks neat! When I work from home and log into work - and at random times once I'm already logged in - I have to go and get the phone and use the Authenticator app to prove it's me. It looks like I'll be able to do that directly from the Mac now.

 

[Exclave]

Any chance we can keep this to actual little things?


Edit: seems not.

 

[xxFoxtail]

Any sign of the Fitness app in Sequoia?

 

[callison]

Will the iPhone mirroing feature be able to mirror an iPad instead/also?

Bad news: you can't disable anything. Once you log in, you'll have to constantly rewrite your texts (even if you don't write anything) and create a multitude of custom emojis.

It's finally here! Let's see.

I don't see anywhere specific in Settings for Apple Intelligence. It seems built in throughout.

so far it's nice! Took awhile for it to show up for me to download.

The Genie dock animation is definitely timed/keyframed differently. you'll feel something is off.

 

[Takuro]

Couple requests:

1) Any signs of additional wallpapers per rumors?

2) Can Intel Macs still fall back to using ChatGPT even without Apple Intelligence? (It's supposed to be off-device processing, so I don't see why not.)

Yes - "Classic Macintosh" animated wallpaper, very very cool

 

[danbalsh]

The Macintosh classic wallpaper elements are even in sync with the time, watch this video...

- Hover over the maximise button to get options for tiling

Can someone extract the HEIC file for this wallpaper and upload it?

Have bookmarks been improved in Safari in macOS 15? I actually like Safari but no way I can use it until bookmarks become usable.
