OS X 10.11 will incorporate Control Center and security improvements also with iOS 9

Although OS X 10.11, known until now under the name "Gala", will focus on correcting errors and bugs, and increasing stability, will also present several notable improvements, one of them, the incorporation of a "Control Center" inherited from iOS.

iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, more news than expected

While with OS X Yosemite several new ones were introduced very prominent features such as Handoff, iCloud Drive and Instant Hotspot, the attention of OS X 10.11 will be on improved stability and performance, new security features and tweaks to the system-wide interface, according to a report published by 9to5Mac.

OS X 10.11 you will gain various new features including a source change from the current Helvetica Neue to the San Francisco introduced by the Apple Watch and already printed on the keyboard of the new 12 ″ MacBookas well as a new control Center o Control Center similar to the one we have on the iPhone and iPad and which was originally found in beta versions of Yosemite OS X but which, however, was not included in the final version.

The Control Center moves many of the controls from the Mac menu bar to a panel that slides out from the left side of the Mac screen, adding on-screen controls for music and other iOS-influenced features. states said report. However, the Control Center has reportedly been in constant flux during its development, and could be bypassed again.

Security enhancements in OS X 10.11

Returning to the report, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), also works in a new security system kernel level called "Rootless" for OS X and iOS that will help stop malware and protect confidential data by prohibiting the use of certain protected files on Mac and iOS devices. "Rootless" seems to be a permanent feature on iOS now, much to the chagrin of the community. jailbreak, but it can probably be disabled in OS X.

But Apple plans to go further in improving security by conversion of many of your top IMAP-based apps on OS X and iOS, such as Notes, Reminders or Calendar, have a backend in iCloud Drive that processes the data separately from the previous collection process, which provides greater control and security. With that, Apple expects iCloud usage to increase so the company is reportedly upgrading iCloud Drive and CloudKit servers to handle this additional load.

The company is also testing a new feature of "Trusted Wi-Fi" that allows Macs and iOS devices to connect to trusted wireless routers without additional security measures, whereas untrusted routers would have a strongly encrypted wireless connection. Apple could launch the feature later this year or wait until next year's OS X and iOS versions, according to the 9to5Mac report.

Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), also will optimize iOS 9 on older devices based on the A5 chipincluding the first generation iPhone 4S and iPad Mini, which would also include the 5th generation iPod Touch and even the iPad 2.

Apple is building a basic version of iOS 9 that runs efficiently on older A5 devices, so each feature will work properly one by one. Thanks to this new approach, a whole generation (or two) of iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch will be compatible with iOS 9 instead of reaching the end of the iOS line, reports The report.

Swift will also update

In the past, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), said he was preparing a major update to his programming language Swift with "Application Binary Interface (ABI)" that will provide greater stability. The applications Swift updated for iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 They will have pre-installed binary codes that require less space and use less mobile data. The report claims that Apple plans to convert its own apps to Swift in 2016 as part of iOS 10 and OS X 10.12.

But to confirm all that 9to5Mac announces, we'll have to wait for the WWDC 2015 that, of course, you can follow in great detail next June 8 at Applelizados so, stay tuned!
