A First Look At Apple’s macOS Sierra

As with past years, Apple’s WWDC 2016 keynote showcased the upcoming updates to Apple’s operating systems and developer tools. It’s hard to believe that iOS is now on its tenth major version, which put Apple in an interesting position given that their desktop operating system has been called OS X for many years now. Given that Apple’s other operating systems are named iOS, watchOS, and tvOS, the name OS X has become a bit of an outlier. This year’s release comes with a new name in the typical manner that OS X releases each had a specific name, but also a new name for the operating system itself. The 2016 version of Apple’s operating system for Macs is named macOS Sierra. Read on for my preview of Apple’s newest Mac operating system.
