Apple has unveiled MacOS 15.4, the latest update for its desktop operating system. This update introduces new AI features to enhance user experience. MacOS 15.4 is expected to provide improved performance and functionality for Mac users. Apple continues to innovate and enhance its products with cutting-edge technology. The AI features in MacOS 15.4 aim to make daily tasks more efficient and seamless for users.
Apple has released the latest update for its desktop operating system: MacOS 15.4. This brings significant innovations, especially in the area of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as improvements in central applications such as mail and photos.
AI-based Functions
Users in Germany and Austria can now use the AI-based functions without a voice change. New design and intelligent categorization of emails. Creation of memory films by description and extended sorting and processing functions. Control possible via the home app.
Apple Intelligence Integration
With MacOS 15.4, Apple Intelligence is moving into Macs with Apple M1 Chip or newer. This integration enables users to use AI-based functions in full. Particularly noteworthy is the possibility of creating so-called “memory movies” in the photo app. A simple description of the desired content is sufficient, and the AI automatically generates a suitable film from the existing photos and videos. In addition, the “sketch” style was introduced in the image of Playground, which enables impressive drawings to be created.
Language Support and Mail App Updates
Apple Intelligence now supports eight additional languages, including German, French, and Spanish, as well as two other English language variants. With the update, the mail app received a fresh design that is based on the user interface of the iPhone email app. One of the most remarkable innovations is the intelligent categorization of emails. This function automatically sorts incoming messages and helps users prioritize important emails and manage the inbox more efficiently.
Photo App Enhancements
In addition to the possibility of creating memory films, the photo app now offers extended filter options. Users, for example, can determine whether elements that are not contained in albums should be displayed in the library view. The new retouch brush in the “Clean Up” tool enables precise processing, while the sorting functions for albums and collections have been improved. Collections can now be “viewed” and “last divided” via the menu.
Additional Features
MacOS 15.4 also brings eight new emojis, including various objects, plants, and a smiley face. The podcasts app receives new widgets that make it easier to pursue favorite programs or access frequently used areas such as “latest episodes” or “stored”. The update also integrates matter-compatible vacuum robots into the home app, allowing direct control and integration in scenes and automations.
Installation and Compatibility
The prerequisite for MacOS 15.4 is that the Mac has at least one M1 processor on board. This means that not only current models are eligible but also older devices. The update is now available for download and can be installed using the system settings under “software update”. It is recommended to create a complete backup of the system before installation.
