What's next for Apple?
It looks like macOS Monterey , which was recently announced at WWDC , is more of a refinement this year, bringing many useful features that almost makes it seem that it's preparing for the rumored prosumer Macs, such as the MacBook Pro and iMac Pro lines, which could come with an updated M1X/M2 chip.
What are the new features of Apple Maps?
Maps - You can control the 3D globe and explore certain cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London with features for landmarks, roads and more.
What is the new audio feature?
Spatial Audio - According to Apple's press release, if you have the AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, you can use the new audio feature on M1 Macs only.
What are some of the benefits?
There's already a few exclusive features that may tempt you to upgrade to an M1 Mac earlier than you were planning to, especially where FaceTime and Spatial Audio is concerned: Portrait Mode on FaceTime - During a call, the Neural Engine in the M1 chip will blur out the background, similar to the many Zoom and Google Meet calls we've all experienced this past year.
