Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of macOS Ventura 13.5 to Developers

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of macOS Ventura 13.5 to developers for testing purposes, with the beta introduced two weeks after the release of the third beta.

Ventura Macs Feature Yellow
Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, with the betas available through the Software Update mechanism in System Settings.

No notable features have been found in macOS 13.5, so it's not yet clear what's included in the update.

With macOS Sonoma now in development and slated for launch this fall, Apple's work on macOS 13 will soon be wrapping up. macOS 13.5 is likely to be one of the final updates to macOS Ventura.

Looks like the future for Windows OS is 100 percent cloud based and a monthly charge to use and access. Windows 12?

I Bet Apple will soon follow also.

It's why they dont seem to care about the Mac Pro anymore.

The future of computer OS's is in the cloud with simple cheap hardware to access and cloud based storage.

BIG BROTHER is watching and wants all of your data in the cloud.

I’m ready for the Sonoma public beta at this point…
Best guess is Friday next week (7/7) or early the following week (7/10-7/11). Based on dev beta 3 release 7/6. Backup always before. MacOS 13.5 is very close to a RC.

Given Apple's entire business model has been about selling expensive hardware and letting you have privacy and control of your data that would require a complete upending of their entire business strategy and removal of the differentiator between Apple and others.
