I was talking in an article about the iPad Pro, and I showed you why Apple does not want to introduce the computer operating system or make it similar. So far so good, but what strikes us is that year after year, the bitten apple and its engineers They have been introducing Mac OS features that were born to be exclusively on iPhones, like Siri, Widget, notifications, apps ...
What is the future of Apple's desktop system? Every day more mobile, every day better. Let's see what Apple could be working on for the future of its iMac and Macbook, both professional and powerful as well as light and fast.
Each device a function, and the Mac all
They said that Apple TV was the center of the home, but I am convinced that not even Tim Cook himself believes that. From the first iMac of 1998, Apple has focused on this product as the center of everything. When the iPod arrived, you could only use it if you had a computer from the same company, and although this was later opened to other systems, the truth is that this Mac continued to be necessary to be able to enter songs and manage the content that we had in our players.
The same thing happened later with the iPhone and iPad. Although they are increasingly independent, to manually enter files, synchronize them and other functions, we have to go through iTunes. Do you want to restore your iOS device and put the backup you had saved? Connect it to iTunes. The solution to any software problem usually goes through the same path: connecting it to your computer.
That is one of the reasons why a person who has a mobile device, whatever the brand, you can't do without your computer, whether you have Windows or Mac OS, because in any situation you will need it and if you have sold it to buy an iPad Pro you will have to ask a friend or relative to allow you to restore your device. That or take it to Apple and they charge you a pasture for a little fix. It is true that problems like these do not usually exist, but you never know. The possibility is there.
A matter of size, use and capacity
The iPhone has a number of uses, the iPad operating system is similar, but we give it other uses. The Mac is the only one from which you can do everything, whether you call, read or watch a movie, edit files, design, work ... Each product is aimed at a different use and a series of functions and needs that we have to cover, but definitely, computers with Mac OS are more capable of everything, although logically they are not the most comfortable for things like calling by phone or paying in a store using Apple Pay, as they already showed us at this year's WWDC.
Mac OS: Patents, renewals and the future.
Mac OS is becoming more powerful and better optimized. It achieves more performance with fewer features, or at least without the need for a very powerful processor and excessive power. We've been watching for the last few months as Apple plans to release a thinner and thinner Macbook Pro, with a new design and the power of always. In addition to how they will put new functions like an OLED bar on the keyboard for quick functions.
There is a patent that positively calls our attention, and that is that one of the problems with laptops is that if there is no Wi-Fi connection where you take it, you cannot work. Thus, Apple hopes to include mobile data connections in Macbooks, as it has always been done with the iPad. When buying it, you could choose with or without this connection. This would make a computer with a desktop operating system much more portable and much more mobile. Tremble, iPad Pro, they say you are the future but Macbooks continue to surpass you by far.
In conclusion, the Mac OS operating system is growing at a pace without pause or rush. Little by little it covers more territory and is looking more like iOS, while iOS, in my opinion, is a little slower and does not know how to innovate. Sometimes I doubt the strategy that Apple follows with products like iPhone 7. In terms of hardware and software, it is simply dedicated to introducing functions that users want to see, such as night mode, battery saving or battery improvement.
