Apple announces a new operating system for the Mac: High Sierra

The next version of MacOS is official. Many people have given up, but with the release of the so-called macOS High Sierra, Apple is finally giving the Photos app some “pro-level” photo editing love.

However, this is something that is not possible without an Apple Developer Program membership at this point.

On 5 June, Apple previewed the next version of MacOS. It took ages. In High Sierra? Also, you will have to wait for MacOS High Sierra’s launch later this year.

VR developers and content creators will be able to use a beta of SteamVR and the new MacOS High Sierra to access the creative power of Vive with their MacBooks. On the graphics side, Apple also announced Metal 2, the second version of its graphics-rendering framework.

On Monday, Apple held the opening keynote for its WWDC 2017 event. The main difference is that with the older service, users are given a recovery key that they need to keep in case they have to reset their password. The Unity and Unreal engines are coming to the Mac as well, Apple said.

“With this, Apple brings support for HTC Vive and SteamVR to the 100 million active Mac users”. With SteamVR and the Vive on their way to Mac, eyes turn to Oculus, but the company isn’t ready to commit to MacOS.

Safari got a number of improvements, but the standout feature is the ability to block autoplay videos. But it could hamper businesses, like this website, that generate revenue via video views. “You can always push play” on those videos, which are usually advertisements, if you want. The latter uses machine learning to identify and remove advertising trackers to stop it from rendering more ads when users search for a particular keyword. That means that when you perform a Spotlight search, relevant emails will show up at the top. Loop is essentially GIFs.

“Have you ever had this experience where you go to buy something on the web or you even completed the purchase and then it seems like everywhere you go on the web it just follows you around?” Long Exposure is a DSLR-like effect for motion blur, while Bounce reminds us of Instagram Boomerange.

High Sierra, according to the iPhone maker, will be the last iteration of its operating system “to support 32-bit apps without compromises”.

The new Safari browser “puts you in control”, he said.

The Photos app hasn’t been ignored either. Also the Photo app is now compatible with the external applications, such as Photoshop and Pixelmator to edits pictures, as desired.

And the new features look useful as well. Unless you are restoring from a backup, your Messages app is essentially a blank slate.

The macOS High Sierra download will be available through the Mac App Store. But that’s not confirmed.

Technology: Apple brings Apple File System to MacOS, which is optimized, is safe and secure, have crash protection and native encryption.
