My colleague Monica Chin previewed the public beta software earlier this year, highlighting Monterey’s improvements to Facetime. The software will bring other exciting features like SharePlay and Universal Control, which will enable Mac and iPad users to move files seamlessly between devices, but perhaps not at launch. In its press release for the new, redesigned MacBook Pros, Apple says that those features are coming “later this fall.” Additionally, Apple made significant tweaks to Safari, its own web browser, for Monterey, but it has since toned down some of the changes.
Here are the devices that will support macOS Monterey:
- iMac (late 2015 and newer)
- iMac Pro (2017 and newer)
- Mac Pro (late 2013 and newer)
- Mac Mini (late 2014 and newer)
- MacBook Pro (early 2015 and newer)
- MacBook Air (early 2015 and newer)
- MacBook (early 2016 and newer)
