macOS Ventura 13.3 available
Apple has been testing macOS Ventura 13.3 for the Mac for the past few weeks. No major changes were discovered during the beta period, but we do know that Apple has been tinkering with improvements behind the scenes and adding new emoji. These are the same new emoji as in iOS 16.4, including the jellyfish, maracas, donkey, and goose.
In addition, this update brings back the previously released (and rolled back) HomeKit architecture update for the Home app. You can perform the update in the Home app settings, also in iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4. The update was supposed to make HomeKit accessories more responsive, but users started experiencing problems shortly after the update was released in December. For example, a home could no longer be shared with other users, so Apple decided to withdraw the update. So now a second attempt follows. If you want to watch the cat out of the tree for a while, you can. The update is not mandatory.
