A useful addition to the OS is the new Auto Unlock feature, with which Apple Watch users will be able to unlock their Mac computers when they are close to them, as long as the devices are connected to the same local network.Īdditionally, we have new features in the field of productivity between iPhone and Mac, in which with the Universal Clipboard, users can copy something on the iPhone and paste it into their Mac computer. The name follows the pattern of other Apple OS versions, like the iOS for its mobile devices, watchOS for the not so successful Apple Watch, and tvOS that gives life to the solution offered by Apple for your living room.Īs for the new features of the operating system, Apple aimed mainly at a seamless collaboration of its desktop environment with its mobile part. The official and (we hope) stable version will come later this year, probably in autumn. The first version of the renamed operating system will be called Sierra and is currently available for Apple Developers, while there will be a public beta version in July.
