These Monterey macOS features won’t work with Intel-based Macs
Apple’s next OS for Macs — macOS Monterey — is coming out sometime this fall. The company has already revealed loads about the new macOS, and we are all super excited for the coming new features to make our lives and workflows more streamlined and efficient.
The catch with the macOS update this time around though is that some macOS Monterey features won’t work with Intel-based Macs.
Now, don’t throw away your Intel-based machine just yet. Let’s take a closer look at what exactly is going to be absent from previous generation Macs compared to M1 chip Mac devices, and how that bodes for your Mac needs.
Live Text is a new handy feature coming to Macs with M1 chip — it will allow owners to interact with text within Photos, Safari, Screenshot, and Quick Look. Instead of retyping text that’s presented in non-textual form, Live Text will allow you to look up, translate, or copy-paste it. Save phone numbers, look up addresses on the map, open websites, and more with this new feature.
Next, M1 devices will have access to a set of wonderful updates to Maps. Users will be able to explore 3D interactive globe view plus super-detailed maps of these major cities: San Francisco, LA, New York, and London.
