WWDC 2014: What's changed in Apple's OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Apple’s WWDC 2014 conference showed us the first glimpse of what the next version of the Mac OS looks like. OS X 10.10 is called Yosemite.   Apple’s Craig Federighi even had a long tale of how Apple’s team came up with the name and that OS X Weed was a potential contender, though we wonder why they didn’t go with that one.   OS X 10.10 has a flat translucent design and panels that we saw in iOS 7. In essence, Apple has tried to ensure a more cohesive design across its mobile and desktop software.   We take a quick look at the new features:   Notifications and Widgets: The Notifications Center in OS X 10.10 Yosemite is similar to what we already have in iOS 7. It has a Today Tab now which will give let users see their upcoming calendar events, reminders, and the weather forecast. Users can also customise the Notification Center by adding third-party widgets and apps from the Mac App Store. In terms of design, it is following the translucent style of the Notification Centre in iOS 7 as well.     Spotlight : Spotlight, the search bar has gotten a massive update. The search field now appears in the middle of the screen and will let you launch apps, documents, etc. You can also browse local documents and see in-line previews and search everything from Wikipedia to Apple Maps to contacts and events, etc.   [caption id=“attachment_224963” align=“alignnone” width=“640”]Apple OSX Yosemite will officially release in fall. AFP Apple OSX Yosemite will officially release in fall. AFP[/caption]   Safari: Safari has also got some serious upgrade both visual and functional. The address bar has been shortened at the top of the browser window. The address bar will also suggest relevant Wikipedia articles based on what you type.   Safari now has a share button in OS X as well. There’s a new feature called Tab View which will let users get a “bird’s eye” view of all the hundreds and hundreds of tabs you might have kept open. Essentially its shows all those tabs in stacked format.   Apple is also promising that Safari will now be faster and more energy efficient.   Mail: Mail now comes with Mail Drive. You can now send large videos, photos via iCloud and the receiver will get them in the form of a link which is encrypted. It’ll have access to iCloud will be able to open the link.   iCloud Drive: You can now get content from iOS documents which might not be on the Mac. You can also save them in way, tag them how you like and the documents will be synchronised across Macs as well. iCloud Drive will be compatible with Windows too. Essentially it’s a more Dropbox like system now.   Continuity: Continuity allows syncing between OS X and iOS 8. This was something we had all been waiting for and Apple has made it look so simple. Features of Continuity include:   AirDrop, will now function across iOS and OS X devices. For Apple fans and addicts this a big relief. You also have the ability to receive calls, text messages on your iMac or Mac or even iPad itself, no matter how far the iPhone is.   There’s also Instant Hotspot, where use can just connect their iPhone’s cellular connection as a Wi-Fi hotspot without typing in that annoying long password. Hand Off syncs across device will let you switch from iOS Device to an OS X device without any hassles. It will ask you pick from where you left off on the other device.     OS X will be out in fall for users and yes it will be free of cost like OS X Mavericks was. There’s also a summer beta program that general users can sign up from the link.
