November is here and Apple has left behind an exciting October in which the company impressed with new Macs and its Apple Intelligence platform. Now that the year is coming to a close, it remains exciting to see what new features and updates Apple will offer its users. Below we take a closer look at the planned software and hardware updates, the latest developments in Apple TV+, Vision Pro and Final Cut Pro and everything that Apple fans can expect in November.
Over the past few years, Apple has been continuously expanding its product strategy, with new developments and improvements now coming almost monthly. November is a particularly interesting time: the holiday season is just around the corner, and the company wants to ensure its customers have the best technology for their creative projects and daily lives. From software updates to new features for Apple TV and Vision Pro to an expanded return policy - you'll find all the details here.
New beta versions for iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2
After Apple released the first beta versions of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2 in October, the company will release additional software beta versions in November. These include:
- watchOS 11.2: The latest version for the Apple Watch is expected to bring new features.
- tvOS 18.2: This update will introduce long-awaited features for Apple TV such as support for ultra-wide 21:9 projectors and new screen savers. Fans of Apple TV+ will especially be pleased to see the addition of screen savers for popular content like Snoopy.
- visionOS 2.2: An ultra-wide version of the Mac Virtual Display feature is introduced for the Vision Pro headset. This feature lets you use the headset as a virtual 4K display, equivalent to a physical dual-monitor setup on your desk.
Apple also plans to extend the beta versions of iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2 to older devices that don't have Apple Intelligence support. The final update for iOS 18.2 is expected in December, which means all software updates should be ready by then.
Final Cut Pro – New features and support for spatial video editing
Apple is committed to continuously improving its users' creative workflow, and the community is eagerly awaiting the announced update for Final Cut Pro. The new features include:
- Spatial video editing on Mac: This is a big step for anyone who works professionally with video, as it allows you to create immersive experiences.

The update is expected to be released on Wednesday, November 13, the start of the Final Cut Pro Creative Summit.
