What are the new updates to the Apple
macOS and the iPad? In Apple’s release this week, Tim Cook covered 6 big
announcements including changes to the Apple macOS and iPad Pro. What are these
updates and how will it benefit the current users?
The current Apple Mac has the operating
system “Sierra”. Apple has since upgraded macOS to “High Sierra”. The newly
renovated macOS includes video auto play blocking when visiting different
websites as well as tracking prevention. The tracking prevention uses machine
learning to stop outside sources from tracking your purchases and from trying
sell to you it in the future. Photo editing and imaging were also upgraded. It
now has facial recognition to help sort and file your memories as well as
improvements to the editing structure. Now you can modify colors in a selective
range and all your edits automatically sync to your library when you exit. The
new OS will also have the Apple filing system as the default and upgrades to Virtual
Reality. The graphics and support for the VR has helped to make it a game
changer for Apple. You can change your virtual world, while in it with your
controllers and play within minutes. Plus, the graphics are unbelievable. Are
you ready to upgrade your macOS system?
The release of the 2017 iPad Pro came
with many improvements. Apple increased the iPad Pro screen by 20%. It went from
9.7 inches to 10.5 inches. By increasing the size of the iPad they are able to
display a full-size onscreen keyboard as well as being able to attach to a
smart keyboard. Even with the increase in size the iPad Pro still weighs only 1
pound. The iPad still has the same 10-hour battery and holds the same camera as
the iPhone 7. The new update for iPad, iOS 11, has a lower dock that can be
filled with apps. From there you can pull up an app on top of another and put
it into slide over view for multitasking. There is a new app switcher as well
as multi select drag and drop feature. The new keyboard for the iPad has a swipe
feature that will allow access to numbers and punctuation on the main keyboard.
