TECHNICAL REVIEW
macOS Monterey
What is macOS Monterey? macOS Monterey is the 12th version of Apple’s desktop operating system which was announced on June 7, 2021. The system’s name traditionally comes from locations in California, this time after Monterey Bay.
Where to download macOS Monterey beta? The developer beta can be downloaded from the official Apple Developer Center. The public beta can be downloaded in the System Preferences → Software Update window after registering a special profile at Apple’s beta software website.
macOS Monterey performance The macOS Monterey’s performance speed depends on many factors, such as the Mac it is installed on (with M1 chip or Intel-based Mac), available free space on the hard drive, applications installed on the Mac, RAM memory and so on.
Generally, if we compare macOS Monterey with Big Sur on the same Mac, we can draw the conclusion about a stable work of the new system.
Should you upgrade to macOS Monterey? Note, that third-party applications can run poorly on the beta version. The developers use the beta period to optimize their apps for the newest system.
That’s why, if you are not a developer or until you don’t have a strong need to install the public beta, there’s no reason to do it and put your Mac at risk.
