Apple Seeds Sixth Beta of macOS Monterey to Developers

While i appreciate all the work on the backend of the these releases making the OS(s) more stable, i must admit this years “updates” are the least exciting for me across the board. Makes me wonder if the real “innovation” will come once all their hardware has moved over the the apple silicon architecture and off of intel. I’m just missing the “WOW“ factor and apple products feel a little stagnan to me.

focus mode alone is worth the price of admission for me. Additional privacy is icing on the cake.

Huh, usually there is a new Xcode for each macOS release, but I'm not seeing one this time around.

macOS has been getting much more stable with each release, but Xcode 13 still has issues.

Maybe it will come later

Still no universal control, however if you search for it in system preferences, it links it to Displays. Getting there :p

The hold up on Universal Control has to be on the iPad side. It sees my iPad but won't connect to it. UC between Macs, on the other hand, works really well.

Tons of features = oh no the OS is too complex, too many iOS features, too many features not available on older Macs, i miss Snow Leopard, Apple should fix bugs and stop adding features.

Less features = no innovation, Apple can’t add new features, no more wow effect, Apple should implement more features. Windows 11 has far more new features than macOS!

Seriously I like the idea of alternating between big feature updates, and tweaking/tuning updates. If they give us a ton of new features a year, the accompanying bugs will pile up faster than they can be fixed. Some might argue that this is ALREADY the case.

If UC isn’t in this beta, which it doesn’t seem to be, and if it’s not in the next one, it won’t be in the initial release. They must be struggling behind the scenes to even release it in beta.

Universal Control might come back in a later Beta, as MacOS doesn’t get public release alongside iOS, it comes later. Last year it was over a month later, from memory.

I’m betting it comes around same time as iOS 15.1, which brings Universal Control to all devices.

This makes sense and it has been that way for the last few years. macOS is about a month after iOS and the .1 update makes sense to finish it up and fix any big bugs that show up when 15 is released to the public.

To the people that use Microsoft Office apps on Monterey betas, would you say this weird bug is fixed where if you have Safari open, Microsoft Update keeps throwing error during update but if you close Safari, the updates work fine?

That weird bug seems to have been fixed in this beta. What's your experience, if?

Software Update Tool Finding available software No updates are available.
As usual no info from Apple whether this has been pulled and if yes, why 😣
EDIT: Reinstalling dev profile downloads ~12GB installer which installed macOS Monterey beta 5 and no updates shown for beta 6 :/

damn strange, I removed the developer profile, added it again from the portal, it downloaded the entire beta 5 build of 11 gb installed it, and then the update showed up for beta 6 and it installed that on top. Wonder what in the world is going on what apple's update mechanism.

Can anyone confirm if they've added the option to turn off website tinting in Safari like in iOS and iPadOS?
