macOS is Apple’s operating system for the Mac. It has been around quite a long time, but in its current form it really started in 2001 with Mac OS X 10.1. It’s built on top of a UNIX core, which makes it very stable, versatile, and great for developers. It’s popular with creators too, as a good platform for video editing and photography. More recently, Apple has begun working to bring iOS apps to the Mac, which could change how MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Pros, and Mac Minis work for everybody.
But no more. Now, all the more popular operating systems — macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, and ChromeOS — include that ability as part of their toolkits. Here’s now you can zip and unzip files in order to save space, no matter which OS you use.
Apple’s new pro laptops right the wrongs of the past half decade
Coder Sébastien Matos has created an interactive webpage that faithfully recreates the scrollbars of various operating systems from the last 30 years (seen via Creative Bloq). Which is your favorite? I’m now hunting for extensions to give my scrollbars an updated (or retro) look.
Apple’s new MacBook Pro 16 with M2 Max has exactly one significant upgrade from the 2021 model: a more powerful chip.
It turns out you might be better off just selling it. The apparent trade-in value of a maxed-out $50,000 Mac Pro is just $970 at Apple, not even enough to cover the price of a $999 iPhone 14 Pro.
Yeah, macOS isn’t perfect — and its notifications system could be better — but that’s why learning how to take control of them is important. Perhaps you’ve never liked your text messages to pop up and be readable by passersby, or you wished those email notifications would stick around until you acknowledge them. Here’s how to fix that.
On the most recent Vergecast episode, we speculated about Apple’s plans for a new Mac Pro and what it might be like when it arrives with one of the company’s M-series chips inside.
However, the latest rumor from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claims plans for some sort of extreme “double-M2 Ultra” chip have been scrapped (for those counting at home, that’s four M2 Max CPUs working as one) to stick with an upgraded Ultra chip combined with a modular design.
If that’s all there is to it, what does that mean for the future of the already impressive — but not modular and easily upgradeable — Mac Studio?
Apple’s latest desktop software is familiar territory for the majority of Mac users, but it does have some new ideas about multitasking and a whole new Settings app. And of course, it ties into your iPhone more than ever.
And you might actually want to keep it on your phone, solving the issue of having to carry it around and remember it
If you want to share your goings-on with a friend or family member, no need to reach for your phone — this can easily be done from a Mac. It takes like, three clicks. Just be prepared, because they will receive an invitation the instant you press enter.
New design, new display, new processor, new price
