Apple is also bringing the shortcuts introduced with iOS 13 to the desktop, and Safari has received a major update. The global control function (“unrestricted control”) announced in June comes with Monterey. This allows users to: work with mouse and keyboard so that they can switch smoothly between Mac and iPod without setting the function. According to Apple, the MacOS can drag and drop content between Monterey and iPods 15 devices.

In the exclusive functions, for example, direct text recognition for photos, you can copy, translate and search the authorized text content in them. According to the footnote on the Monterey preview page, the new portrait mode for FaceTime cannot be used on Intel Max either.
In addition, the interactive 3D globe on Apple Maps is not compatible with Intel Max, nor is there a newer, more comprehensive map object, initially only available in London, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Extended text-to-speech functionality in other languages such as Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish can only be used on Macs with Apple’s own chips.
Although the last betas of MacOS Montessori often seem stable, users will have to wait for one or another update before installing the latest OS version on their production devices. As a rule, one or another bug is still hidden in the final version, which is detected only when the OS is used by a large number of people.
