The operating system released by Apple in 2016, succeeding OS X El Capitan, provided a bridge between the company’s desktop and mobile platforms. It brought features previously exclusive to mobile devices to the Mac environment. A key example is Siri integration, allowing users to interact with their computers using voice commands.
This particular iteration was significant for enhancing continuity across Apple’s ecosystem. Features like Universal Clipboard, Auto Unlock with Apple Watch, and iCloud Drive document accessibility simplified workflows and improved user experience. These enhancements enabled greater interoperability and access to data regardless of the specific device being utilized. The release also marked a shift in focus toward streamlining user interactions across various Apple products.
