macOS Sierra 10.12 is the new version of the OS X 10.12 operating system, the Apple company finally making the decision to abandon the name OS X, as it was already announced in a variety of rumors that appeared on the Internet, and everything was confirmed today by to Craig Federighi for us.
macOS Sierra 10.12 is focused on iCloud, the Continuity system and improving the general performance of Macs, or the stability of the operating system, so users should have a much better user experience.
Auto-unlock
Yes, the Apple company has finally implemented the system of unlocking a Mac using Touch ID, but authentication is done automatically only if we have an iDevice with Touch ID that is interconnected with our Mac, simply opening the cover of a Mac unlocking it.
Universal clipboard
If you were upset that Apple does not have a universal clipboard for users, well it has been implemented in macOS Sierra 10.12, so now we will be able to copy a text or an image on the Mac and the content will be available for all Apple products.
Storage space optimization
Because users too often run out of storage space in HDDs, the Apple company thought of implementing a function that can get much more storage space in our environments, all using a series of specially implemented algorithms.
Those from Apple provided an example in which a HDD with 20 GB of storage space reached 100 GB of storage space using the Optimize Storage function.
Apple Pay on the web
Yes, and these rumors turned out to be true, the Apple company implementing Apple Pay on the web, users being able to use an iDevice and an Apple Pay account to make payments through iDevices.
For now, few countries have the system available.
Tabs
For tabs, the Apple company brings improvements to the way of organization, so that now third-party applications benefit from the possibility of being used in tabs, so that we will have a single window for several open applications.
Picture in Picture
macOS Sierra 10.12 has implemented the Picture in Picture system, allowing the opening of video feeds in small windows that will be displayed everywhere in Apple's operating system, regardless of which other window we are talking about.
Crab
In macOS Sierra 10.12, Siri is able to perform searches for existing files on our Macs, searches can be made based on the modification date, the person who sent them, and many others.
Of course, Siri can also play the music available in our Macs or in Apple Music, so we can quickly listen to music while we work.
Siri can also search for information on the Internet, displaying the results in a window that is displayed on the side of the Mac, images, for example, can be drawn in various open applications.
Since Siri can send messages on iDevices, he will be able to send messages directly from Macs, also through iDevices.
Siri can also search for movies or video clips on the Internet, and users can quickly access the results directly in Safari.
Screen extension
If you use applications that allow you to extend the screen of a Mac on another Mac or on an iPad tablet, Apple has implemented this native system in macOS Sierra 10.12.
Starting
macOS Sierra 10.12 will be released today to app developers for the OS X platform, with a public beta to be released in July.
