Apple releases macOS Ventura 13.3, adding new HomeKit architecture, improvements and bug fixes

Apple has released macOS Ventura 13.3, re-introducing the updated HomeKit architecture that was initially released with the iOS 16.2 update, only to be pulled a week after launch following a number of bugs with the software.

The new, more efficient Home architecture improves the reliability of communication between smart home accessories and Apple devices. With the release of macOS Ventura 13.3, Apple is bringing the new Home architecture to the Mac, alongside other improvements and bug fixes.

macOS Ventura 13.3 introduces over 20 new emoji characters including a new shaking face, a donkey, moose, and more. The new emoji update also brings a much-requested plain pink heart, one new smiley face, three new colored heart emojis, and two new hand gestures, each with support for different skin tones.
