As the official filing date of September 12 approaches, the rush in Cupertino begins to be common. 3 days ago, Apple released the XNUMXth macOS High Sierra developer beta. A few hours ago, the guys from Cupertino launched the ninth beta of macOS High Sierra, a beta intended only for developers, so users of the public beta program will have to wait until next week to download the version public of the next beta that Apple launches. This type of release it is usually common when the release date of the final version approaches, date scheduled for September 12 at the end of the keynote, as long as Apple does not decide to change the date as it did two years ago.
This new beta can be downloaded directly from Apple's developer website if we have not installed a beta yet, or through the Mac App Store. This new version of Apple's operating system for Macs offers us the incorporation of the new APFS file system, a new more efficient video codec (HEVC) and a new Metal update offering support for virtual reality devices and external GPUs.
But they are not the only ones, since the photo application receives a new sidebar to facilitate access to the editing tools, curves and color. It also allows us to directly open the images in both Photoshop and Pixelmator, a demand from users that was inexplicably not yet available to this day. Regarding Safari, Apple has added a new function that allows blocking the monitoring that various websites do on our browsing. Siri has expanded its natural capabilities by offering a more natural voice. On the other hand, iCloud, FaceTime, Notes and other native applications have also received slight news.
