But it seems as if macOS and iPadOS are on a collision course (which is a whole different conversation), so perhaps Apple could take the opportunity to align all its OSes on the same number. I suspect that Apple has some sort of plan for this already in the works as it looks to add a new operating system, xrOS, into the mix. Apple already tries to avoid using the number as a general reference point by giving macOS a name after a California location. At the same time, isn’t versioning just as silly? After all, it’s just a label.
Top on the list: Time Machine (especially if Apple unlocks iCloud backups).Īdmittedly, this is a minor request and many of you reading this probably think it’s silly. The look is fine, but some settings don’t make sense tucked away behind General or Desktop & Dock. We’d love to see Apple separate the interface from iOS. There’s no going back now System Settings and its UI are here to stay.
#SYNC IOS FOR MAC MAC#
That caused consternation for the most hard-core Mac fans and confusion among even iPhone users–and sent a lot of Mac users to Google to find settings they thought were lost. My wish came true, but at a price: Apple took it a step further and redesigned the UI to be more like the iPhone. In my macOS 13 wishlist, I wanted Apple to rename System Preferences to Settings to match iOS and iPadOS. How can you pass that up, Apple? Fine-tune System Settings That’s a lot of money you’re making each year and a lot of happy Mac customers. That’s about $84/£48 per year, and say, 500,000 users sign up for that. Apple already has a $9.99/£6.99 tier that offers 2TB of storage- and I could see a new $6.99/£3.99 for 1TB of Time Machine iCloud+ storage tier.
You could make precious Services money from Time Machine iCloud backups by selling iCloud+ storage. Since Apple doesn’t seem to be interested in adding this feature to macOS out of necessity, allow me to take a different angle: It’s good for Apple’s bottom line. As I said before, I’ll say it again: Having an offsite backup is always a good idea, and Time Machine could be updated to do that along with the option for a local backup. This was on our wishlist for macOS 12 and macOS 13, and it’s going to stay on every wishlist until it happens. Apple could make a lot of money by offering cloud storage for Time Machine backups.
