OS X El Capitan
The updated desktop operating system of Apple was named one of the mountains of the National Park "Yosemite", improving performance and usability.
Safari closer in functionality to Google Chrome. The standard browser OS X the opportunity to fix the tab, and the music playing on them, now displays a separate button in the address bar.
In the trend of changes of smart assistants Spotlight changed little. Now he recognizes informal requests, and the window can be moved and resized. The main change El Capitan - updated mission control, which is able to divide the screen into two working scalable field like Windows, and facilitates collaboration on multiple applications at the same time.
During the performance El Capitan meets API Metal, which combines the OpenCL and OpenGL. The developers promise to increase gaming performance up to 10 times. Returning to the more pressing issues, it is worth noting that the system also works faster. Applications, opening files and running all processes will be carried out in the Operational several times.
The beta version of OSes can be downloaded now, its public version will be available on the Mac this fall.
iOS 9
More changes received iOS. In the ninth version appeared "News", an analogue of Google Now Proactive, multi-mode iPad, and the "Notes" of Siri and "Maps" became functional.
Proactive - almost a complete analogue Google Now. Assistant gives you advice based on location, time, application usage frequency. Siri knows what you normally do, including music when headphones are plugged in, or continues to play an audiobook, when you get into the car. Apple emphasizes that your data does not go beyond the memory of the gadget.
With each update iOS «Notes" are becoming more functional. At this time, you can draw and create lists of them. "News" - is almost complete analog of the popular Flipboard. Smart algorithms personalization applications like, work with sources, too, even flipping pages look the same way.
The urgency of the built-in maps of Russia and Ukraine have never been at altitude. The new iOS changes are expected in this regard. The only significant change in the "Maps" - added public transport routes. Apple uses the exact location of all inputs, outputs and places transit direct to optimally build routes. List of cities so far quite small, and the appearance in it of Russian cities can hardly be expected in the near future.
Multitasking - the most defensible and useful innovation of the new iOS. Windows snap to the edges, are placed next to each other, which makes productive work in multiple applications at the same time easier. These features are also found application in the notification and video viewing: they open in a small window, but does not shut down other processes. Fly in the ointment: this functionality is only available on the iPad Air 2.
In addition, in iOS 9 came the switch to energy-saving Low Power Mode, providing an additional three hours. Like the desktop novelty, the new iOS can be expected this autumn, and the first beta already can be set. Announced support for all devices that work on iOS 8.
WatchOS
We do not have time to watch Apple's fully hit the market, and the company introduced the second version of the OS for them. Three major innovations: Time Travel, Complications, and support for native applications.
Time Travel - an opportunity to squander time up to 72 hours ahead and view all upcoming events. By the way, Digital Crown will regulate various operating parameters, and not only perform the scrolling function. Expanded opportunities for quick answers, which have been considerably limited in the first version, and added support for FaceTime Audio.
Developers of native applications provide access to the microphone, audio and video, which makes the possibilities are virtually unlimited. Due to night mode clock act as an alarm clock at night, and during sports medals encourage. Like the two previous programming trends, updates to WatchOS 2 should be expected in the autumn.
Apple Music
In the best traditions of Apple presentation ended with the announcement of the One More Thing. Apple Music, occupy this niche, - a combination of the application, "Music", radio, social networking and advisory service. Subscribe to unlimited streaming music and round the clock online radio will cost $ 10 for a single user or $ 15 for a family account for up to five family members. As in the related Beats Music, all the functions of Apple Music are tied to your music preferences. Select three or more "circles" with your favorite artists you will be asked when you first start.
The most interesting difference between Apple Music from the competition will be the fact that the company does not rely only on machine algorithms. Regular team of editors will make recommendations based on the tastes and playback frequency of certain tracks. Find them will be at the For You tab. Theoretically, this will help to avoid the difficulties encountered, for example, users Spotify, where among the music plenty to find something you can only playlists and recommendations musicians.
The Apple Music also features integration with the social network for musicians. There you will ask a question, subscribe to and read their news feed. Do not forget about the integration with Siri: Apple Music in may be asked to play music that is played in the movie, and the app will fulfill your request. Also, when you will find tens of thousands of music videos in high quality.
The first novelty of three months can be used free of charge, then - $ 10 per month. Its launch is scheduled for June 30 in 100 countries, among which is likely to be, and Russia. In addition to versions for OS X and iOS, Apple Music in the autumn will be available for Android and Windows.
