Time Specification Request[edit]

Late 2022 can mean December, 2022, November 2022, October 2022, or September 2022. Instead of being ambiguous of time, Please specify which month Macos Ventura will come out

See Special:Contributions/2601:40:1:474:E889:35DA:36CE:FF7 for a previous incarnation of this IP. PhilKnight (talk) 16:07, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No one here knows! :) Even Apple may not fully have decided this yet, so such knowledge many months in advance is extremely unlikely. This happens every year, so no use asking this. Naki (talk) 17:36, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And, just to make the anon happy, here's my answer from Talk:iOS 16:

Apple says "Coming this fall" on https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-16-preview/; they don't specify a month.

On the other hand, they don't say that on https://www.apple.com/au/ios/ios-16-preview/, perhaps because "this fall" - or "this autumn" - is right now in Australia, with winter coming up. The same applies to https://www.apple.com/br/ios/ios-16-preview/ and https://www.apple.com/nz/ios/ios-16-preview/, and https://www.apple.com/nz/ios/ios-16-preview/, for example.

So the best answer is "some date between 22 September 2022 and 20 December 2022".

and the same applies to macOS 13 and iPadOS 16 and tvOS 16 and watchOS 9.

You want a month, pester Apple, not us, or find a reliable source that gives a month. Guy Harris (talk) 21:27, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And now it's been released, so this is no longer an issue. Guy Harris (talk) 21:53, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

macOS Ventura 13.6 boot-bug[edit]

In the "Known Issues" section, shouldn't the recently-reported bug about Apple Silicon-based 14" and 16" MacBook Pro devices not being able to boot if the user has disabled the ProMotion refresh-mode, and then updates to either macOS Ventura 13.6 or Sonoma, be added?

Current release[edit]

The current release is either 13.6.1 or 13.6.2 (MacBook Pro 2021 and later, iMac 2023) depending on the hardware model: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201222 This is not common, but Apple sometimes releases updates targeting only specific models/SoCs. What's the formatting of the versions table and latest release section in such cases? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1458:204:1:0:0:102:5AA8 (talk) 09:53, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No date?[edit]

Why no date for latest 13.6.6 release in Infobox? Someone, please add date back! Naki (talk) 16:43, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Guy Harris (talk) 20:31, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the very quick fix. :) Naki (talk) 20:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
