Introducing Macos Ventura 13.1, Tvos 16.2 and Watchos 9.2 by Apple

Ahead of the holiday shopping season, Apple has upgraded all of its key product lines with a slew of OS updates. As well as iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, tvOS 16.2 and watchOS 9.2 are all currently rolling out. After releasing iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, Apple has started distributing a new version of macOS called Ventura. According to Apple's changelog, macOS Ventura 13.1 has far less updates than either iOS 16.2 or iPadOS 16.2. With a download size of almost 2 GB, the first bundle is the biggest of the three. Fundamentally, macOS Ventura 13.1 just brings the Freeform program to the operating system, while Apple has also included a number of bug fixes and small enhancements. According to Apple, Freeform is a program that enables teamwork between Mac, iPad, and iPhone devices, as shown in the screenshot below. But keep in mind that Freeform creates a canvas rather than documents, spreadsheets, or presentations like Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, allowing you to add files, photos, and text. Additionally, Freeform is now only available within the Apple ecosystem, meaning that anyone without a Mac, iPad, or iPhone is unable to utilize it.

In contrast, watchOS 9.2 introduces the Race Route workout function, which lets you run or cycle against your prior times. Apple has updated tvOS 16.2 to include Siri speech recognition in the meanwhile. The modification, in theory, enables an Apple TV to modify user profiles based on the voice it hears after activating Siri. Only the most recent Apple TV 4K is compatible with Apple Music Sing on tvOS 16.2, though. However, Apple has included Apple Music Sing in both iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, thus the capability is not limited to tvOS.
