We will discuss all these features in detail in the following paragraphs, God willing.
Desktop widgets

- The new widget will help you check reminders, weather, and news.
- In addition, you can control smart devices and better interact with third-party applications from your desktop screen, without having to open the application.
- It is worth noting that these new widgets blend into the background when you are not using them.
It is nice that the widget is an iPhone application that works on MacOS Sonoma devices without any update or development of the iPhone application itself.

Peace be upon you. I bought a MacBook from the Emirates and FaceTime does not work even if you are outside the Emirates
Do you have a solution? Thank you very much
Hi Radwan 🙋♂️, glad to hear from you. The issue you face with FaceTime is a result of the laws in the Emirates that prohibit the use of this service, and unfortunately, even if you leave the Emirates, the device will continue to act as if it were in the Emirates. There are some temporary solutions, such as using a VPN, but unfortunately there is no permanent solution until the law changes. I hope this was useful and thank you for your trust 🙏🍏
Can you explain more on how to use a Mac on YouTube? Because your site is great, but mostly on iPhone. Thank you.
Hello Abu Mohsen 🙋♂️, you can follow the famous channel “MacMost” on YouTube, which provides detailed explanations about using the Mac in addition to new updates. Thank you for your trust in us.
It is very strange that Apple did not support the MacBook Pro 2015-2016,,!!
Hi Mufleh 🙋♂️, I know it's hard for 2015-2016 MacBook Pro users to accept that they won't be able to enjoy the new updates in macOS Sonoma. But Apple always seeks to provide the best and latest, and this step may be part of its strategy to ensure the best performance of its devices. Stay updated, maybe the right update will come at the right time! 🍏🚀
Thanks for the great article 🌹
