What are the expected upcoming features for Mac computers in macOS 15?

Apple will unveil the next generation of the macOS operating system, macOS 15, during the upcoming WWDC 2024 developer conference scheduled for June. While most rumors and leaks regarding upcoming releases of Apple's operating systems focus on iOS, macOS often shares many features with iOS. Therefore, we can anticipate some features coming to Mac computers in macOS 15, including the following:

1- New features powered by artificial intelligence:

Apple plans to add a variety of new features powered by artificial intelligence to the upcoming releases of its smart device operating systems. Among the expected AI features coming to the macOS 15 operating system for Mac computers are the following:

• AI-generated playlists in the Apple Music app.
•  Assisted writing capabilities using artificial intelligence in the Pages app.
• AI features to assist in writing code in the Xcode app.
• Significant improvements in the capabilities of the voice assistant Siri and better integration of the voice assistant with the Shortcuts app.

Siri is expected to benefit more than others from the features of artificial intelligence, with rumors suggesting that the voice assistant will perform better than ever before. Apple is also focusing on improving the interaction between Siri and the Messages app. Additionally, the voice assistant will be able to do new things such as following complex multi-part commands.

Furthermore, deeper integration of the voice assistant with the Shortcuts app can allow users to automate complex tasks that require the use of multiple applications.

There is a slight possibility that Apple may launch its own AI-powered chatbot; rumors suggest that Apple is considering partnering with either Google or OpenAI to leverage their language models.

2- Other new features:

There are many other features rumored to be coming to Mac computers in macOS 15, including:

1- A new feature from the Accessibility features: Apple is working on developing a new Accessibility feature called Adaptive Voice Shortcuts, which allows users to choose a specific phrase they can say to activate one of the Accessibility features they want to use.

2- A new feature in the Freeform app: The new Scenes feature in the Freeform app will allow users to designate specific sections within their artistic canvases for quicker navigation and sharing.

3- New features in the Maps app: The Maps app may receive a feature for creating custom routes, and it is also expected to include topographic maps.
