Almost every year, Apple releases a new version of OS X. With each new release, a completely new set of features is introduced.
macOS Sierra Features
Siri has finally arrived. A built-in speech-driven assistant is ready for use. With Siri, you can perform way more work as compared to other Apple products like iPhone, or iPad, as you can drag and drop the search result provided by the Siri from notification pane to any other app.
We all know the tasks Siri can perform, still here are some overlooks: browser internet and local storage, start a FaceTime call, set up a meeting using macOS Calendar, or find pictures from a particular date. Other than these, telling weather, sports scores, posting updates on social media is also now possible.
Picture in picture is now available in macOS Sierra. Just like your iPod, now you can extract a video from a web page and play it on the desktop without the surrounding web page.
Auto unlock is a new feature where you connect your device with any Apple product like a MacBook or Macintosh computer or even an iWatch. Once your device is paired by using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, then your device unlocks automatically. Auto Unlock is enabled only when you reach close to your computer with your device.
There is another feature similar to Auto Unlock called Universal Clipboard. It works the same with some changes in it. Instead of unlocking your devices, it shares the links, or rich content like photos, videos between the different platforms.
Night Mode was also available in previous versions like macOS Yosemite or macOS El Capitan. However, in previous versions, users were unable to activate the night mode at the preferred time. While this feature can be set in the Preferences tab in Settings.
Major improvements are made to Gatekeeper. Two new features are added to the application to make your system even more secure. There is Anywhere option used to execute any software program from any source without getting any permission. The second feature is called Code-sign disk which helps developers to add a signature that prevents any kind of threat to enter the application.
macOS High Sierra Features
Photos have been improved, as there is a sidebar as well as some new editing tools for the users. Photos also has an enhanced facial recognition with better layout. Another great thing is that Photos now synchronizes tagged people with your devices that are using iOS 11 or newer.
ITP (Intelligent Tracking Prevention) is a new feature present in Safari used to block unauthorized sources from tracking the user’s activity. Safari has also stopped those annoying auto-playing videos and users have the option either to enable the option or not.
Different update to Note application has also been made. Now, users can add different tables and pin notes to the beginning of the list to make it prioritized.
Apple has brought the Spotlight search inside the Mail App, alongside enabling the Mail app to perform split view.
HFS file system is abandoned by Apple which was used for around 30 years. Now, they are using the new Apple File System (APFS). APFS is a 64-bit file system that supports native encryption and faster metadata operations.
One of the biggest changes made to High Sierra is the VR support. Virtual reality headsets are now supported by macOS. You can run it on MacBook Pro or any other new OS with external GPU connected.
