Sonoma 14.0 is the newest release of the macOS that run on Apple devices such as Macbooks, iMac, Mac Studio, and Mac Mini. It is the successor to macOS Ventura 13.0 which was released on October 24, 2022.
macOS Somoma was announced at Apple's WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) event that was held in 2023 on June 5, 2023.
Though it is not yet available for end-users, the first developer beta was released on June 5, 2023, and the first public beta was released on July 11, 2023.
We do not know the exact date when macOS Somoma will be released but looking at the past trends the final release date is not too far, it is likely that it will be released later this year by the fall, September, or October 2023.
