macOS Ventura (version 13) is the nineteenth major release of macOS, Apple's operating system for Macintosh computers. The successor to macOS Monterey, it was announced at WWDC 2022 on June 6, 2022, and launched on October 24, 2022.[4] macOS Ventura was succeeded by macOS Sonoma, which was released on September 26, 2023.
It is named after Ventura County and is the tenth macOS release to bear a name from the company's home state of California. The macOS 13 Ventura logo, official graphics and default wallpaper resemble an abstract California poppy.[5]
macOS Ventura is the last version of macOS supporting several Macs, including the 21.5-inch 2017 iMac and the 12-inch MacBook.
