The 15th major release of Apple's desktop operating system and the successor of macOS High Sierra 10.13, macOS Mojave 10.14 is now available. In addition to the new dark mode, this release brings a few iOS apps to the desktop, including Apple News, Home, Voice Memos, and is also the last macOS version to support 32-bit apps.
Initially released at the end of March 2001, Apple's desktop operating system has just reached the 15th major version. In 2016, Mac OS X became macOS with the release of the 10.12 version. Dubbed "Sierra," macOS 10.12 was followed by macOS 10.13 "High Sierra," and now the time has come for a well-known US desert to step in: macOS 10.14 is simply known as "Mojave."
According to Apple, these are the highlights of the new macOS release:
Dark Mode with support for third-party apps
Stacks for a clutter-free desktop
Dynamic Desktop (desktop wallpaper changing depending on the time of the day)
updated Finder with an all-new Gallery View and a Preview Pane, and more
Continuity Camera with seamless integration across Mac and iPhone
new apps — previously available on iOS — such as News, Voice Memos, Home, Stocks
redesigned Mac App Store
In addition to the above, macOS 10.14 is the last version to offer support for 32-bit apps. There are also a few new languages supported, including Australian English, Canadian French, and Traditional Chinese for Hong Kong.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
