macOS Sonoma launches new features to improve productivity and creative workflows
Introducing more ways to personalize with widgets, stunning new screensavers, major updates to Safari and video conferencing, and optimized gaming experiences—Tim Cook makes the Mac experience better than ever .
macOS Sonoma makes the Mac experience better than ever—from more ways to personalize with widgets, to major updates to Safari and video conferencing, and tons of exciting new games.
Cupertino, California , Apple led by Tim Cook today released a preview version of macOS Sonoma - the latest version of the world's leading desktop operating system, bringing a series of rich features to greatly enhance the Mac experience. Eye-catching screen savers and powerful widgets unlock a whole new set of ways to personalize. Users can now place widgets directly on their desktop and interact with them with just a click; and with the magic of Continuity, they can access the vast ecosystem of iPhone widgets directly from their Mac. With macOS Sonoma, video conferencing has become more interactive, with useful new features to help users deliver remote presentations: such as using speaker overlays to place the presenter directly above the shared content; using Reaction to add cinematic effects gestures to trigger fun video effects. We're rolling out a major update to Safari that will take the web experience to the next level. The User Stories feature groups browsing into multiple topics or projects, and web apps speed up access to your favorite sites. We will also introduce Game Mode, exciting new games, and a new game migration tool suite to help developers easily bring more games to Mac and take the gaming experience to the next level.
"macOS is the core of Mac, and with the launch of Sonoma, we will make macOS an even more beautiful and efficient tool," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering. "We believe users will love macOS Sonoma. Love new ways to personalize with widgets, stunning new screen savers, next-level gaming performance, and productivity improvements for video conferencing and Safari experiences.”

Advantages of ISO images
Compared with the officially released pkg image (there is also an ipsw image, but it is only suitable for Apple chips) and the dmg image produced by a third party, the ISO format has the following advantages:
- You can directly drag and drop it to the Applications directory (no administrator rights are required) for upgrade and installation.
- You can directly double-click to mount, execute the command to write to a USB storage device or other volume, and then start a new installation (no need to drag and drop to the "Applications" directory)
- Virtual machine installation can be started directly, and the media itself is a bootable image.
- Can write to USB storage devices and create USB bootable installation media under Windows and Linux
- Cross-platform support, can be used in any operating system, other formats are only for macOS
