The software, known as MacOS, is getting some major updates. Here's what we know so far:

  • It's called MacOS "High Sierra." (Really.)
  • Safari is getting a major update, making it "the world's fastest desktop browser" in the new OS.
  • The new version of Safari has a service called, "Autoplay Blocking" that stops media from auto-playing across the entire web. There's also a new service to stop ads from tracking you across the web.
  • Photos can recognize more faces, and is getting a bunch of categorization updates. The information you input will automatically sync across all your Apple devices.
  • The core file system of MacOS is getting a major overhaul, which - in practice - means file management will go much faster than before. A demonstration on-stage at Apple's WWDC developer event showed a dramatically faster file duplication process. That's really meaningful for everyone using MacOS - it means faster backing up of files, moving of files, and much more.
