How about OS X Yosemite?

Apple OS X Yosemite System has been officially met, how about OS X Yosemite? Let's look at the user's hands-on experience with OS X Yosemite.

After a simple experience, introduce new features to the latest version of OS X.

1. Appearance: flat, more concise

The biggest change in OS X Yosemite relative to previous versions of OS X is the appearance, which is equivalent to a flat design upheaval from iOS 6 to iOS7. The overall increase in visual effects, and the iOS version is also more unified, which is also consistent with the previous guess of the convergence trend, from the new dock icon can be seen at a glance.

In OS X Yosemite, Apple makes the translucency of the window very delicate, and if there is a cascade of windows, you can see the color content of the application or desktop through the outermost window.

The built-in apps for Apple OS X have also been completely redesigned to look and part of the details, click Safari's Address bar, and the URL in the bookmark will pop up for quick access, and the tab view will quickly manage the currently open Web pages, as well as 12 websites that are frequently visited, as they are now on iOS devices.

The zoom and Close button of the window is much like the red, yellow, and green three-color traffic light, and the Zoom button replaces the full screen of the original upper-right corner. However, when you exit the full screen, you can still operate from the upper-right corner.

The dual-pointing left light touch pad opens the new notification center and is very similar to the iOS 8 dropdown display, new in today's Digest and various widgets, and can be updated via the Mac App Store.

The new Spotlight search can even allow you to work directly, exchange rate conversions, and find information on Wikipedia, Bing, news and maps for multiple sources. Query results can also directly dial out the phone, send e-mail, of course, you can also like iOS through search directly open the application.

In the mail section, Apple has added a icloud-based, oversized attachment-sending tool mail Drop that can send videos, demo documents, and even folders to each other, and if you use a Mac mail application, it's exactly like a normal attachment, and if it's another application or Web page, you'll get a link to download the attachment. , each accessory can reach up to 5GB max.

In addition, Apple has added a tag to annotate email attachments such as pictures, tables, and PDF functions, either by finger signatures or by using a Mac camera to take a signature.

2. Continuous interoperability: Unified computer Mobile phone flat

On OS X Yosemite, if you have a Mac and iOS devices such as an iphone or ipad, it will experience a whole new feature-Apple calls it "continuous interoperability (continuity)."

Mac and iOS devices "work together" after all of your devices are connected to icloud.

First, when the iphone has a new caller, your Mac and ipad will ring, so even if the iphone is charged in the living room, you can answer the phone in your bedroom with the ipad, and when your iphone is in the bag, you can use the Mac in front of you to hear the call, and of course it's OK to dial out.

For the first time to experience this feature users, the beginning will be a bit unaccustomed, especially when a phone call will be hectic, but then adapt to the good.

Not just imessage, all your SMS messages will be displayed synchronously on devices with OS X Yosemite mac and iOS 8 installed. This allows you to respond directly to information via the Mac and ipad.

Then, between the two devices is what Apple calls "handoff," which can work with Mac and iOS devices: If you create a message on the iphone, an icon appears in the lower-left corner of the Mac, and then you click on the Mac to continue with the message, and vice versa.

According to Apple's website description, handoff can work with mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, maps, information, reminders, calendars, and contacts. Also, developers can add handoff to their apps.

Finally, the continuous interoperability also includes a convenient personal hotspot connection, when the iphone in the vicinity of the Mac (through Bluetooth, so must punch Bluetooth), click on the Mac's Wi-Fi icon, your Mac can find the iphone can do hot spots and direct connection, It also shows the iphone's signal strength and battery status.

Summarize:

Starting with recent generations, especially mountain lion, the trend towards the integration of OS X with iOS design style and functionality has been more pronounced, with flattened elements added to this year's version. Will the future be a combination, or will there be a medium-screen Mac or ipad that uses two systems to switch between users? We wait and see.

Apple has dramatically enhanced the synergy and connectivity features on Mac and iOS devices on OS X Yosemite, and is attractive to iOS users in an effort to drive each other's holdings, particularly the conversion of iphone users to potential Mac users.

OS X Yosemite is a big driver of the iphone for those who are using the Mac but not the iphone, whereas a Mac computer is a must for users who are using the iphone to get a more interesting and useful experience between computers.
