macOS 10.15 Catalina
- 7 October 2019
macOS Catalina (version 10.15) is the sixteenth major release of macOS. It is the successor to macOS Mojave, and was announced at WWDC 2019 on June 3, 2019 and released to the public on October 7, 2019. Catalina is the first version of macOS to support only 64-bit applications and the first to include Activation Lock. The operating system is named after Santa Catalina Island, which is located off the coast of southern California. iTunes is replaced by separate Books, Music, Podcasts, and TV apps, in line with iOS. iOS device management is now conducted via Finder. Catalyst is a new software-development tool that allows developers to write apps that can run on both macOS and iPadOS. macOS Catalina runs on all standard configuration Macs that support macOS Mojave. 2010–2012 Mac Pros, which could run Mojave only with a GPU upgrade, are no longer supported.
