Apple has revealed that its new desktop OS, macOS Sierra will be made available to download on the 20th of September.
The new OS comes with a wide range of new features for the iMac and Apple’s MacBook’s, this includes Siri and much more.
Introducing Siri on macOS
One of the most anticipated features of macOS Sierra is the introduction of Siri to the desktop environment. Siri makes its debut on Mac, with new capabilities designed just for the desktop. This means that users can now use voice commands to perform a variety of tasks, such as searching for files, sending messages, and setting reminders. Siri on macOS Sierra is integrated with Spotlight, allowing for more intuitive and powerful search capabilities. For example, you can ask Siri to find documents you worked on last week or to show you photos from a specific event.
Enhanced Continuity and iCloud Integration
Another significant enhancement in macOS Sierra is the improved Continuity features, which make it easier to work seamlessly between your Mac and other Apple devices. With the new Universal Clipboard, you can copy content such as text, images, and videos on your iPhone and paste it directly onto your Mac, and vice versa. This feature is incredibly useful for users who frequently switch between devices throughout the day.
macOS Sierra also introduces iCloud Drive Desktop and Documents, which automatically uploads the files on your desktop and in your Documents folder to iCloud. This means you can access these files from any of your Apple devices, providing a seamless experience whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go. Additionally, the new Optimized Storage feature helps free up valuable storage space by automatically storing rarely used files in iCloud and keeping only recent files on your Mac.
Siri makes its debut on Mac, with new capabilities designed just for the desktop. And that’s not the only way your Mac is smarter. macOS Sierra helps you rediscover your best photos, shop faster and more conveniently online, and work more seamlessly between devices. It can also help free up valuable storage space. Now your Mac does even more for you, so you can do more with your Mac.
Photos and Memories
macOS Sierra also brings significant improvements to the Photos app. The new Memories feature automatically creates curated collections of your best photos and videos, making it easier to relive your favorite moments. The app uses advanced machine learning to recognize faces, objects, and scenes in your photos, allowing you to search for specific people, places, or things with ease. For example, you can search for “beach” to find all your beach photos or search for a specific friend’s name to see all the photos they appear in.
Apple Pay on the Web
Another exciting feature in macOS Sierra is the introduction of Apple Pay on the web. This allows users to make secure online purchases using Safari, Apple’s web browser. When you check out on a participating website, you can complete the purchase using Touch ID on your iPhone or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch. This provides a fast, convenient, and secure way to shop online without having to enter your credit card information manually.
Picture-in-Picture and Tabs
macOS Sierra also introduces Picture-in-Picture mode, which allows you to float a video window from Safari or iTunes over your desktop or full-screen app. This means you can watch a video while working on a document or browsing the web. The video window can be resized, dragged, and pinned to any corner of the screen, providing a flexible and convenient way to multitask.
Additionally, macOS Sierra brings tabs to more apps, including Maps, Mail, and TextEdit. This means you can manage multiple windows within a single app more efficiently, reducing clutter and making it easier to stay organized.
