Public release

Apple made macOS Sonoma available on September 26, 2023. This record describes that public appearance; it does not project the cumulative Sonoma feature list backward onto any developer or public beta milestone.[1]

What changed

The public release combined desktop customization, richer video calls, separated Safari browsing contexts, app-like websites, gaming prioritization on Apple silicon, and new managed-device controls. Hardware, regional, and app support qualifications still applied to individual features.[2][3]
