Apple’s new macOS version 10.15 will be called Catalina and seal the farewell of iTunes.

iTunes is replaced by three apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Apple TV. First of all: The sync function for the iPhone has moved from iTunes to the Finder. A smart solution.

4K HDR and Dolby Atmos is now supported on the Mac via Apple TV App. We only hope that the remote control option via iOS Remote App will be retained.

Also new: the iPad can now be used as an additional display on the Mac, but also as an input device. Practical.

In addition, the accessability features have been extended: from macOS 10.15 it will be possible to control the Mac completely by voice. This is an excellent further development, especially for people who cannot operate the Mac in the conventional way. Apple has always taken care of people with the operating system who can really benefit from the technology. This is now the next step.
