The tradition that started a year ago continued. The developer bus drove to different corners of California in search of a name for the new OSX. While the likes of Oxnard & Weed did impress, the developers gave us OSX- Yosemite. Here is a brief look at some of the new features that it has to offer.
The new “Look”
- Apple has finally answered the prayers of late night coders with a brand new “Dark” mode
- Your windows and dock are now translucent giving it a better aesthetic
- Better designed toolbars giving larger interface field
- Enjoy the new icons giving you a fresher perspective
Notification Centre:
- New Today view giving you a customized view of the information you want
- Add widgets & third party apps to your today view
Messages and Calls:
- Now you can even integrate your non iPhone messages with your Mac
- Can’t find your phone? Use your Mac as a speaker phone
- Make calls from your Mac or iOS via Wifi even without a cell phone signal
Mail:
- Send larger files over the mail without having to worry about space via Mail Drop
- Annotate important files without having to leave the mail thanks to Mark-up
- Access your inbox while composing your message
Continuity:
- Possibly the most distinguishing feature that has been developed this year
- Hand-off enables you to pick up from where you left off across all your apple devices seamlessly
- All your files, all your data is now available across all your devices
Impressed? I haven’t even mentioned the best part. Apple is going to launch the new OSX absolutely free. It is even inviting non-developers to join an OSX- Beta program to help improve features of Yosemite before the actual launch. I can’t wait to join the program. What about you?
