Apple's new desktop operating system,??? ????? ???? ??? ??????? ???????? ??? ??????? macOS 15 Sequoia, will launch a bit earlier than is typical this year.
This is according to a new report by MacRumors, which claims that Apple plans to launch it alongside iOS 18 in mid-September. Both iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia were initially announced during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
Apple typically launches new versions of iOS in September, but the latest macOS typically comes a little later. For example, macOS Sonoma launched on Sept. 26, a week after iOS 17. And its predecessor, macOS Ventura, launched on Oct. 24, more than a month after iOS 16.

The reason for the unison launch, MacRumors claims, is making sure that cross-platform features, such as iPhone Mirroring, are working as intended at launch.
Apple Intelligence features, on the other hand, reportedly won't be part of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia at launch. These AI features, which include tools that help you write, AI-enabled image creation and editing, and a smarter Siri, will show up in macOS 15.1 and iOS 18.1, which should launch in October.
