A new report claims that Apple won't release OS X 10.9, also known as Mavericks, for its Mac products until sometime in late October, in order to put more effort into finishing iOS 7



From Neowin:

Apple released the current version of OS X, Mountain Lion, in July 2012, so launching the next version of the Mac operating system in late October represents a delay in Apple's usual strategy. However, 9to5Mac claims that the reason for the Mavericks hold up is so that Apple can put all of its efforts in releasing iOS 7 later this month at the same time the company launches new iPhone products.

Apple first announced Mavericks in June as part of their WWDC event and is supposed to have a number of new features and improvements, including adding new native iBooks and Map apps, a way to store passwords called iCloud Keychain, better support for multiple monitors and more. Apple is also expected to release a number of new Mac models this fall alongside the Mavericks launch.
