The second developer version of Apple's operating system was released this week, with some initial changes compared to the first. The first public alphas should be around the same time as the third developer alphas, which will give more access to the updates.
This week saw the launch of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is Apple's first Mac to feature its M2 chip, as well as the annual Back to School promotion for education customers.
