Apple has finally come up with a major upgrade to its latest Macintosh operating system, Yosemite since it was first introduced back in 2001. The latest update to the Mac platform which was released a few days back is known as the Mac OS X 10.10 and it comes with some amazing features. With this operating system, Apple has seamlessly brought the mobile devices and desktop systems into a single platform. Since Apple has control over both the hardware and software, it gives a distinct advantage for Apple’s iPhone and there is a lot for Samsung to worry about as they depend on others for the software.
Here are some features of this operating system that you are unlikely to get anywhere else:
Handoff and continuity
The awesome cross-platform functionality feature between the Mac OS X and the iOS 8 makes it possible to start writing an e-mail in one device and continue doing so in another. The continuity feature allows you to make phone calls with your iPad or Mac.
Mail drop
You won’t have to worry anymore about sending large attachments with your mail as the Mail Drop feature uploads the files directly to iCloud.
Messages
Silence chatty group threads, and share your screen, with Apple’s new Messages app.
Today view with extensions
The Today feature on the notification center comes up with a summary of all the upcoming events of the day as well as a reminder for the next day. You also get connection to customized widgets which can be set according to your tastes and needs.
Mail gets markup
Mail’s Markup tool is a convenient way to draw on and annotate email attachments.
Safari
The web browser Safari has been upgraded with a smart search field. Thanks to this feature, you get access to all your favorite sites. The tab view button also ensures continuity by opening up all tabs on all the devices you are connected to via iCloud.
