As usual, MR posts the article without waiting for the update to be actually available
So they should wait until the update is released to *you*, and that makes it official?
Software updates roll out geographically, and they may have some other way of segregating them across devices. Not everyone sees the updates at the same time. It's a deliberate decision to spread out the load on their servers.

I'm very excited for this release I'll install it after 1 or 2 major updates and bug fixes.
I wonder if iOS 17.1 beta 1 is rolling out in conjunction with this, or are we waiting until tomorrow? My patience is growing thin now!
Just 25 minutes away from the new screen saver.... 😃
I see Ventura 13.6 available in Software Update (I'm on 13.5.2) but not Sonoma. Anyone know whether I need to update to 13.6 first before 14 shows up? Given how long these updates take, I'd rather just go straight to 14 if possible.
Unlike IOS 17 which used a late beta build at the factory for shipping, and later had to have a 17.0.1/.0.2 patch for security and the cloud transfer bug, MacOS had a normal beta cycle with 2 RC's. It is very solid public release when shipping today. Been using it on 2 Macs since WWDC.
macOS 14 (23A344) - September 26, 2023

Sonoma is the most stable release since Mojave if the beta cycle is any indication
It is RC2. Been working a treat.
I think it is the same, since I have RC2 on my external SSD and the release from today doens't appear in the software update. Sonoma 14.0 - 23A344
Another year, another step in the transformation into toyOS.
Craig isn't gonna give up so easily, is he?

Yup nothing new for me either and I was running RC2, build 23A344.
Little surprised as I have the Feedback Assistant installed and I can't remove it. Is that something that's always there with macOS or is it just because I downloaded it from beta/RC? I have turned off the beta profile.
With iOS the Feedback app goes when switching off the beta profile so I expected the same to happen with macOS but apparently not.

Mac mini with monitor? Not the same but a viable alternate for many. In fact, I prefer separate. Biggest downside for me is not having built in camera and mic. Keep answering the phone on the mini and crickets.
