MacOS Catalina release scheduled for Oct. 4, suggests Apple

While iOS 13 and watchOS 6 came out last week, followed by iPadOS 13.1 and tvOS 13 this week, we are still waiting on macOS Catalina. The Apple website suggests, however, that macOS Catalina could be launched as early as Friday, October 4th.

As reported by MacRumors, the Danish version of Apple's MacOS Catalina website suggests that the Apple Arcade service will be available from 4 October. This would apparently mean that macOS Catalina would also be launched on that date, Apple Arcade being a feature of Catalina.

The Danish Apple Arcade website teases: "Exceptional gameplay. Find it in the App Store as of October 4th. Apple Arcade will be accessible via the Mac App Store, as we had it for the first time last month.

It would be somewhat unusual, but not unprecedented, for Apple to release a new version of macOS on a Friday. One possibility is that macOS Catalina and Apple Arcade are launched at different times, with the MacOS update scheduled earlier this week and the Apple Arcade update on Friday.

Until this leak, Apple had not provided specific information on the public launch of macOS Catalina other than the scheduled release date for the fall. Although it is possible that the Danish Apple website is incorrect, it seems to involve a launch in early October, rather than later in the month.

Just this week, Apple released the ninth beta developer and the eighth public beta of macOS Catalina. The latest version of macOS includes new features such as the TV app, new Music and Podcasts apps, Apple Arcade, and much more. It also includes Mac Catalyst, Apple's technology that allows developers to bring iPad applications to Mac.
