It’s a big day in the Apple world, as the company has released macOS 13 Ventura, iPadOS 16.1, iOS 16.1, watchOS 9.1, and other updates. And all that comes after last week, when the company unveiled a redesigned tenth-generation iPad, a new M2-powered iPad Pro, and two models of the third-generation Apple TV 4K. Apple is also raising prices on Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple One subscriptions. Notable Mac app releases this week include macOS Monterey 12.6.1 and Big Sur 11.7.1, Safari 16.1, Firefox 106, Quicken 6.10, Mimestream 0.39, Fission 2.8.2, Lightroom Classic 12, Airfoil 5.11.2, Camo Studio 1.9, ChronoSync 10.3.1 and ChronoAgent 2.2.1, SoundSource 5.5.5, and URL Manager Pro 6.0.
Apple has raised the prices of Apple Music, Apple TV+, and the Apple One service bundle by $1–$3 per month.
Today is the big day: Apple has released macOS 13 Ventura and iPadOS 16.1 alongside iOS 16.1, watchOS 9.1, tvOS 16.1, and HomePod Software 16.1.
Apple has updated the Apple TV 4K for the second time in two years, upgrading it to a modern processor and more storage at significantly more competitive prices.
Apple has overhauled its base model iPad to better match the feature set of the rest of the iPad lineup, but it comes at a notably higher price.
This year’s iPad Pro upgrades aren’t likely to change the iPad Pro experience in a significant way, but they bring a move to the M2 chip, faster Wi-Fi, and the new Apple Pencil hover feature.
