Although Apple didn’t say it out loud during the event, we finally have a release date for macOS 12, also known as Monterey: You’ll be able to install it Monday, Oct. 25.

Like its predecessor, Big Sur, Monterey is Apple’s latest attempt at streamlining its operating systems, which means it pairs with the newly-released iOS 15 like a fine wine. The new OS will let you AirPlay content from a Mac for the first time, and features new features for desktop that are already available on iOS, including Focus profiles to limit notifications and help you ramp up productivity and Shortcuts, Apple’s automation app.
