macOS Mojave: A Giant Leap For MAC
THE FUTURE OF MAC
When Tim Cook took to the stage at the Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, it was iOS 12 that critics and attendees were most looking forward to. Announcing support for a more enhanced Siri, app redesigns and a renewed focus on privacy and device usage, iOS 12 is set to become the most powerful mobile operating system when it launches later in the year.
Apple Watch users were similarly treated, with new workout methods and Walkie Talkie feature on watchOS 5 raising cheers from the crowds, but it was the announcement of macOS Mojave that got everybody talking. Bringing with it a brand new Dark Mode, a suite of new apps ported over from iOS, and a bunch of functionality designed with professional users in mind, Apple showed us all that they can still innovate when it comes to their software. Today, AppleMagazine is delving deeper into some of the biggest changes coming to macOS later this year. We’ll also take a look at the future of Apple TV with tvOS 12 and its support for Dolby Atmos sound.
DARK MODE
It’s a feature that has been requested for a number of years, and while Apple enabled the option for users to use a darker dock and menu in macOS Sierra, macOS Mojave offers a system-wide Dark Mode for the very first time. Designed to help photographs and documents “pop off the screen”, the new Dark Mode is undoubtedly one of the most welcome changes to the operating system in recent years, with many of Apple’s everyday apps redesigned to take advantage of the new Dark Mode option. Calendar, Mail, Xcode, iTunes and many other apps will support the feature on launch, while third-party apps will be given access to the Dark Mode code, too.
