Apple released the third beta of macOS Catalina 10.15.3 on December 17, 2019. Now, references to a “Pro Mode” for MacBooks have been discovered.

The US blog 9to5mac has a feature in the current macOS beta – macOS Catalina 10.15.3 – discovered, which suggests a kind of "Pro Mode" for MacBooks. According to this, Apple could give MacBook users the opportunity to increase the performance of the notebook - of course at the expense of battery life. According to the code, the limitation of the fan speed could be removed. This would lead to an increase in performance, which would of course reduce battery life. While the system could work faster, the fan noise would of course also be louder. But for power users, the function could actually be of use. Currently, macOS has various limitations, including the fan speed.

“Pro Mode” in macOS 10.15.3 can be activated manually

The advantage is a longer battery life and a quiet fan. However, this comes at the expense of performance. A "Pro Mode" could temporarily squeeze out even more power, which wouldn't be such a bad thing in some scenarios. This could significantly speed up certain workflows - for example rendering. According to the code, the "Pro Mode" can be activated manually at any time - but it switches off automatically at night. It is not yet known when Apple plans to release the final version of macOS Catalina 10.15.3. However, the update should be released by WWDC 2020 at the latest. (Photo by dvoevnore / Bigstockphoto)
