Check out the list of Apple devices compatible with macOS Ventura

Apple’s biggest event-WWDC 2022 is still in the run and each day is bringing something new and fresh to the users. The first day itself introduced such amazing innovations and upgrades to all the existing loved apple gadgets. One such announcement is the macOS Ventura. Apple described it as the company’s next-gen macOS coming with future shifting abilities. It is also described as the latest operating system for its Mac devices at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2022).

The new operating system is ready to come by the end of the year, but what about the compatibility? Will you be able to pair it with your older Mac? Or what are the devices that can connect to this latest system effortlessly? Read the article below and find out!

List of Mac devices compatible with macOS Ventura

Apple’s next major operating system, macOS Ventura is coming this fall. It is currently in the developer beta version. Since it is a new OS version, it might create confusion in the user’s mind about whether it will work with your Mac. Also, being new in the market, not every device will be compatible with it. So here is the list for you. Apple has released a list of devices compatible with the latest version of the macOS- macOS Ventura. Check which devices will support this new operating system from Apple!

MacBook Pro and MacBook Air

MacBook Pro and MacBook Air

First, we have Apple’s popular Mac models- MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Both models are the most demanded and favourite ones by far. Hence, if you have one and are stiff confused about whether it will work or not, then worry no more. All the MacBook Airs moels from 2018 and later MacBook Pros variants from 2017 and later are compatible. Here’s a complete list you can find:

  • MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021)
  • MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
  • MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
  • MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)
  • MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019)
  • MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018)

MacBook

If you think only the Air and Pro Mac versions are lucky to get macOS Ventura, then this is your sign of relief. Apple is offering the upgrade to the standard non-Pro MacBook as an option alongside the higher versions as well. Hence, if you have the standard models of MacBook starting in 2017 and later, it will feature the new macOS Ventura. It includes the MacBook powered by M2 and the 12-inch variant from 2017- MacBook Retina. Unfortunately, if you’re still stuck with the 2016 model and back, then you won’t be able to access or upgrade to Ventura.

iMac and iMac Pro

Since the iMac is available in two variants: The iMac and iMac Pro, we’ll talk about both the models here. So, the good news is the macOS Ventura is available with both the models from 2017 and newer. Here is the complete list where you can find the variants of iMac and iMac Pro that will support the macOS Ventura.

  • iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021)
  • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020)
  • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)
  • iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019)
  • iMac Pro (2017)
  • iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)
  • iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017)
  • iMac (21.5-inch, 2017)

Again, both Apple M1 and Intel iMacs are on this list. So, if you’re not updated to Apple’s latest, you should be covered. Also, if you have any older versions of the iMacs like 2015 iMacs, 2014 iMacs or anything older, it will not support the latest upgrade.

Mac Pro and Mac Studio

Mac Pro is one of the oldest models supported by the brand but still loved by many. Although these Mac never gets the Apple M1 or Apple M2 chipsets, they will the macOS Ventura upgrade. Ventura upgrade will be available on Mac Pro models from 2019 or later. While, on the other hand, Mac Pro’s popular replacement, the new Mac Studio will fully support the macOS Ventura upgrade. Still, here’s a list for your convenience:

  • Mac Pro (2019)
  • Mac Pro (Rack, 2019)

The users would have to keep in mind that the older Mac pro versions from the 2013 Mac Pro, will not work with the Ventura upgrade. These devices have outdated specs, anyway, though the design and upgradability have some people still using them.

Mac Mini

Now coming to the last offering from Apple, the Mac Minis will also get this upgrade. Users who are working with the MAC Mini models from 2018 and later are good to go with Ventura. Here’s a list comprising all the confirmed Mini models to get macOS Ventura by Apple.

  • Mac mini (M1, 2020)
  • Mac mini (2018)

One more point to be noted here is that the Mac mini models from 2014, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 are not going to work with Ventura. If that is the case with you, you’ll need to upgrade to the mentioned variants.

One thing to be noted here is that the list has changed quite a bit when compared to the current-generation macOS Catalina. The current macOS version supports Mac devices as old as 2015, even for the Mac Mini and Mac Pro which were launched back in 2013. However, it lacks support for some latest versions. Even the brand has dropped support for several older devices but the newer version has support for devices that were first launched about five years ago.

Summing up or keeping it simple, the good news is that if you have had a Mac device for the last five years, you should be good to go. Also, in any case, if the list gets changed or some new devices hets added by the brand, we will update this for you.

Just like all the previous years, the latest operating system is yet to be rolled out to the users. The same will be available for them once it is more stabilized. There is no specific date mentioned by Apple for the rollout of macOS Ventura, however, it will be available for the users in the second quarter of the year.

Bose Soundlink Flex: A portable Bluetooth speaker with powerful audio defying its size

Bose SoundLink Flex-Feature

One of the world’s most popular audio brands, Bose, has expanded its iconic Soundlink Bluetooth speaker family with the launch of Soundlink Flex, which claims to deliver the best audio performance for a portable speaker its size in all-new, grabbable, and ultra-rugged design.

The all-new product from the house of Bose adds proprietary Bose PositionIQ technology to automatically detect the speaker’s orientation, so whether upright, hanging, or flat on its back, the speaker is optimized to deliver rich, lifelike sound.

The speaker’s IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating combines with up to 12 hours of battery life to make it a tough, portable workhorse. The SoundLink Flex is available starting today for Rs 15,900 at all Bose premium partner stores, offline retail chains Croma, Reliance and Vijay Sales, and on Amazon, Flipkart and TataCliq.

Punches above its weight

This new portable Bose speaker uses every fraction of an inch of its enclosure to deliver astonishing audio performance. A customer transducer – as big as could fit – maximizes clarity so you can hear each instrument and vocal, and delivers bass that you can feel in your chest. It combines with dual-opposing passive radiators, which brilliantly turn vibration into powerful audio output from the compact speaker. Bose proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) technology dramatically minimizes distortion so you hear natural, full sound.

For the first time in a Bluetooth speaker, the Bose SoundLink Flex dynamically detects its orientation and automatically adjusts to deliver uncompromised audio through Bose PositionIQ technology. Whether the Flex is upright on the kitchen counter, hanging from a backup, or lying flat next to the pool, you don’t need to do a thing to ensure optimal sound quality.

Design to die for

With its IP67 rating and premium materials, the Soundlink Flex is rugged and resilient – ready for whatever your day throws at you. Together, its soft silicone back and powder-coated steel grille protect it from drops and bumps, won’t peel or flake, and are resistant to corrosion and UV light. Its tightly sealed acoustic components keep water, dust and dirt out and won’t compromise audio performance. It will even float to the water’s surface after an accidental drop in the bathtub, pool or ocean. And its durable utility loop can easily attach to a carabiner or buckle on your bag, or hang from a hook in your shower or beach chair.

The Flex measures 7.9-inch wide, 2.1-inch deep, and 3.6-inch high, and weighs just over 1 pound. It fits effortlessly in your hand, feels good to hold when you grab it and go and looks elegant on your bookshelf. It comes in three gorgeous colours: Black, White Smoke or Stone Blue.

Plays perfectly with others

The SoundLink Flex’s setup is straightforward with simple voice prompts for Bluetooth pairing to your phone or tablet within seconds. It remembers up to eight connections for seamless switching from one device to the next. Using the Bose Connect app, you can control the Flex, personalize settings, and receive the latest software updates. And on-speaker buttons allow you to power on/off, turn volume up/down, connect to Bluetooth, and play, pause or skip tracks. You can also access your phone’s voice assistant or take and make calls with exceptional clarity through a built-in microphone.

The Flex has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that offers up to 12 hours of playback – enough to last you through your all-day family reunion or lazy afternoon at the park. The Flex uses USB-C charging with the charging port strategically placed on the opposite side of the utility loop, so you can charge and play the Flex in any position without missing a beat.

Pair a second SoundLink Flex or Bose Bluetooth speaker for Stereo Mode (left-right channel) or Party Mode (simultaneous music playback). When at home, the Flex works flawlessly with one or more Bose smart speakers and soundbars to extend your listening experience using Bose SimpleSync technology. When the Flex is connected, ask your voice assistant to play music on your smart speaker, and content will play simultaneously on both.

Google Maps will now show the air quality around you

There’s no need to boast about what fresh air means to us. After all, a breath of fresh air is all that we need to handle all the stress and tackle a bad day. Now the question is how would we know if the air we are breathing in is fresh or not? The answer is now coming to you with Google Maps’ new feature. Google Maps is all set to add a new layer of data to let the users know the air quality they’re currently breathing in. Here’s all that we know about it!

Google Maps to bring AQI checking: What’s inside?

Just like you, your Google Maps also wants you to breathe in fresh air only, hence, its is bringing AQI on both your iOS and Android smartphones. The feature will be available for users in the US on both iOS and Android.

As per the Google maps, “Entering the Air Quality layer will zoom out your current Google Maps view. Pins will appear over the largest locations, and you can tap any colour-coded dot to see a specific site. More details appear on the bottom sheet with an easy-to-understand text description”.

The new feature is expected to tell the user what they can expect from the air today. For instance, whether it’s going to be smoggy and smoky, so he/she should stay home. It is also going to help you to decide on your morning walk or picnic when the air quality is supremely good. So, it’s now time you can have some expectations, air-wise!

Google Maps air quality feature: Uses and significance

With this capability coming to your fingertips, it will become much easier for you to make well-informed decisions. You would be able to decide whether you should go out or not. Also, if you’re going out, how long should you stay there. Interestingly, the feature also comes with a guide to show you outdoor activities in a more detailed preview. It also has some advice that is going to show you what outdoor activities you can avoid as well. The upcoming AQI will also show you when the data was last updated on the app.

The app says, “You’ll see Air Quality Index (AQI), a measure of how healthy (or unhealthy) the air is, along with guidance for outdoor activities, when the information was last updated and links to learn more”.

Google Maps air quality feature: Uses and significance

Currently, the feature is available only in the United States and certain parts of Canada. Now, one more important aspect of this latest feature is about the reliability of the data. So, this data comes straight from government agencies, primarily the EPA or the Environmental Protection Agency.

Maps also show air quality information from PurpleAir, a low-cost sensor network which can give you a hyperlocal view of conditions. However, the users would have to add this layer manually. To do so, users can simply follow these easy steps:

  • Tap on the button in the top right corner of their phone’s screen.
  • Then they have to select Air Quality under Map details.
  • The information from PurpleAir is also available on Nest displays and speakers.

Especially made for us, it also features a wildfire layer, as the wildfire season is also approaching there. This will allow the users to see details about active fires in the area, thanks to Google partnering up with the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). Furthermore, it also comes with an advanced search feature where the user can simply search “wildfires near me” and the associated details will be surfaced. This will also show the air quality information. “In the coming months”, Google search will also be adding smoke data across the US from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Instagram introduces ‘sensitive content’ controls

At the end of last year, Instagram added a way by which users can easily filter out sensitive content that they don’t want to see. Now, the same filters are getting a big upgrade. Instagram has announced that it is expanding the setting by enabling the users to turn off such types of content recommendations throughout the app.

Instagram introduces ‘sensitive content’ controls

Earlier, the platform only used to define the sensitive content as “posts that don’t necessarily break our rules but could potentially be upsetting to some people — such as posts that may be sexually suggestive or violent.” However, the new settings will be applied all over the app, the reels, hashtag pages, in-feed suggested posts and even the accounts you might follow. Rather than letting users mute certain content topics, Instagram’s controls only have three settings, one that shows you less of this bucket of content, the standard-setting and an option to see more sensitive content. Instagram users under the age of 18 won’t be able to opt for the latter setting. There’s no date announced for this upcoming functionality, but it will be available to the users in the coming week.

Apple’s ongoing WWDC 2022 has already unveiled the company’s latest upgrades and technologies coming in the future. Keeping with the same, iOS 16, iPadOS 16, tvOS 16, and macOS Ventura is soon to introduce the “Passkeys” feature to replace the traditional passwords. The same will help the users to sign in to any website or app without typing their long passwords.

Apple bringing New Passkey Feature

According to Apple, “Passkeys are next-generation credentials that are safer and easier to use than standard passwords”. As Apple explains in a support document on the feature, “Passkeys are built on the WebAuthn standard and use a unique cryptographic key pair for each website or account”. It is considered even more secure than passwords as they protect users from phishing, malware, and other attacks aimed at gaining account access. The whole Passkey concept relies on the iCloud Keychain, which in turn requires two-factor authentication for further protection. Apple says that transitioning away from passwords is going to take some time, but it will be working with developers to create a passwordless future.

WhatsApp edit

Meta-owned instant messaging app is reportedly working on host of new features. According to reports, the messaging app is testing three features such as the Undo button, the edit text messages option and the double verification feature.

The features are currently being tested and none of them have made it to the final release yet. According to Wabetainfo, WhatsApp may soon allow users to edit messages after sending them. The report also claims that an Undo button is also in the works. In addition to edit and Undo, WhatsApp is also reportedly working on the double verification feature. It is pertinent to mention that Apple has rolled out the edit messages feature for iMessage. The announcement was done during the ongoing WWDC 2022.

Edit messages after sending

The reported upcoming edit option in WhatsApp will allow users to edit their text messages after sending them. Currently, users can only delete the message sent by them.

Undo button

An Undo button is also under development by the WhatsApp. Once functional, this feature will help users to retrieve the chat that they have deleted by pressing the “delete for me” option instead of selecting “delete for everyone.” The undo button will help you rectify your mistake within a certain time frame.

Double verification feature

To enhance security, WhatsApp is also working on a double verification feature. Under the double verification feature, users will be asked to enter an additional security code, which will be sent to your registered mobile number while trying to log into their WhatsApp account from another smartphone. Currently, users need to enter only one 6-digit verification code, which they receive on their registered number. The double verification feature will let users know about the fact that their account is being accessed elsewhere.

In addition to these three buttons, WhatsApp is also working on the ability to export your WhatsApp backup from Google Drive for a future update.
