In today’s guide, we will be helping the mac users to create a bootable macOS Catalina USB drive, which they can install on their Mac devices.
macOS Catalina 10.15.6 beta 3 is the sixteenth and the latest OS released by Apple in June 2020. This update includes many new features such as additional emoji’s, support for AirPods 3 pro, Homekit Secure Video, Homekit enabled Routers, and new Siri privacy settings as well as Bug fixes and enhancement in performance.
System Requirements
It is always wiser to look at the system requirements before installing Catalina on your device. Moreover, Catalina requires 4 GB of memory. The supported devices are listed below.
