Your mac is about to change, and this time you really will be saying "hello" with Siri's arrival on desktop. Apple’s Worldwide Developers
Conference (WWDC) once again
brought us the major software
announcements that we expect
to see in the middle of the year. This time around, updates were announced for
each of Apple’s four operating systems at the
same time, and their names were brought into
line too. All of their names now end in ‘OS’, and
so our beloved OS X made way for macOS, the
new name for your Mac’s operating system. That wasn’t the only naming update: macOS
is actually version 10.12, and carries the more
casual-sounding name Sierra. If El Capitan felt
like Yosemite enhanced, Sierra looks like it’s really going further, introducing a whole new way to
control your Mac with Siri, more Continuity features,
the ability to shop securely online with Apple Pay,
copy and paste between macOS and iOS, and a new
file system (though that won’t exit beta until 2017). iOS 10 goes even further in what looks like the
biggest update in years. There’s a totally redesigned
Lock screen, and more customisations in Messages
than you’ll know what to do with! Siri has also been
enhanced, and HomeKit finally gets its own app to
make it easier to control your smart home. Here we get right to the heart of what matters
and show you how many features, such as Photos,
are changing across the whole Apple ecosystem.
We can’t wait for September to come!
