T

he new version of

macOS is finally here,

and is available to

download on your Mac.

There’s been no lack of

ambition in what Apple

has done under the bonnet in macOS

10.15 Catalina. It brings increased

privacy and security, lets developers

code Mac apps just like iOS apps,

boosts games performance, and

brings artificial intelligence to more

everyday tasks. Well, that’s all very

well, but what’s actually going to be

different on your screen when you

start it up? And hey — just where in

the heck have they put everything?

Over the next 12 pages, we’ll walk

you through it all, exploring the brand

new apps that replace iTunes and the

additions and enhancements that take

familiar features further. We’ll also

show you how to get to grips with

things, so you can make the most of

Catalina right away. Keep a pinch of

salt handy for a few final tweaks that

Apple might still throw in before you

see it, but based on our detailed first

dive into the caverns of Catalina,

here’s your guided tour.
