Mac Phone Call Support – The Mac can now make and receive phone calls through an iPhone, complete with caller ID. Messages – SMS support relays text messages from the Mac through the iPhone, sounds convenient. This should be a huge productivity boost. For example, you can start writing an email on your iPhone, then hand it off to Mail app on your Mac when you get to the computer. Handoff – You can now ‘handoff’ application activity to iOS or OS X when in proximity to a device. Safari – Revamped UI, native RSS subscriptions built directly into the Reader view, and a new tab browsing view similar to iOS Safari.ĪirDrop – Full iOS to Mac support, for direct file sharing between any Mac or iOS device. Markup – Built into OS X Yosemite is the ability to doodle, draw, and markup directly on screen and in emails. For sending to iOS and OS X, the file(s) download automatically and feel seamless, whereas other clients will get ad download link. Mail Drop – Want to send someone an enormous document? Instead of bouncing off the mail server due to size limitations, Mail Drop allows users to encrypt documents in the cloud and email downloadable links for files that are up to 5GB in size. Documents also sync to iOS, and even Windows (!). ICloud Drive – iCloud (finally) gets a direct Finder interface with drag and drop support, folders, tags, and across-Mac syncing. New widget support allows third party widgets to be added to Notification Center. There are tons of new features in OS X Yosemite, here are a few brief highlights of the more interesting features discussed today at WWDC:Īll new Spotlight – Hovers over the screen and functions as search engine for files, information, contacts, restaurants, and so much more.Īll New Notification Center – Slides out from the sidebar, and looks very similar to iOS. First Look at a Few OS X Yosemite Features The interface is very white by default… but, if you’re not into that, there’s also a “Pro” mode, which has a dark interface that transforms into a dark grey UI rather than the bright whites of the default appearance. This is very much like the iOS UI coming to the Mac, but arguably it looks better. You’ll find translucent finder windows, a flat and gorgeous UI redesign, a new Dock appearance. Update: here’s a screen shot gallery of OS X Yosemite pictures. (We’ll post a better screenshot walkthrough later, but in the meantime the below images were captured from the WWDC 2014 lifestream)
