New Features Update

First of all, Outlook for Mac has been updated focus on account setting in the late month of May, and it would allow users only enter email address can search for the correct account setting automatically. When Outlook for Mac is opened for the first time, it would ask the user whether to add the account used before to login Office.

In the update of this month, the new most useful feature is Read/Delivery Receipts which is successfully sent and read. The basic function is popular with heavy mail users, moreover, if the user pays great attention to this function, it can be possible to check these receipt information through pulling down the menu under. If you need to send some kind of mail often, then you’d love to see Outlook for Mac now should support mail template function. Users only need to build the required mail and then save it as a template, then it can be directly used to modify in the next time used.

Apple has released the sixth iOS 10.3.3 beta for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, meanwhile, it has also released the sixth macOS 10.12.6 beta for Mac, which just a weeks ago Apple released fifth betas both of them.

Although iOS 10.3.3 beta 6 is possibly unable to run the last beta of iOS 11 system equipment, except new wallpaper in 12.9-inch iPad Pro, no significant changes is found in this latest beta.

As a matter of fact, there are no significant feature updates or bug fixes in the previous five betas of iOS 10.3.3, which indicates that iOS 10.3.3 is only updated in a smaller scale, besides, it’s focusing on security updates, bug fixes, and other minor improvements.

Moreover, iOS 10.3.3 might be the last operating system version update of iOS 10, because Apple has shifted its focus to iOS 11 for the coming new iPhone 8 and 7S on fall this year. The first beta was launched to developers on June 5, and now it has already two betas in all.

Same as iOS 10.3.3, the previous five betas has no significant feature change, design adjustment or notable bug fixes were found in macOS 10.12.6. Due to no notification of beta by Apple, therefore, it is not clearly to know what is contain in the explanation content.

Certainly, the focus on the Mac operating system by Apple will also be transferred to macOS High Sierra after Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5, so macOS 10.12.6 might be the last updated of Sierra systems.

So many “last” version of Apple system, users must cherish the memory of today’s version now. And if you’re interested in macOS High Sierra, you can check out our detailed article on both here, and here respectively.

New Core Technologies of macOS High Sierra

macOS High Sierra is paving the way for Mac with a variety of innovative in the future. New core technologies make Mac faster and more powerful than before. These new core technologies include:

APFS

In last page, we had also listed the new feature in macOS High Sierra: APFS is an entirely revamped, modern file system that’s optimized for solid state storage. Apple adopted the hierarchical file system at the very beginning, which is what we are familiar with HFS. Subsequently, Apple introduced its own HFS+ file system, and has been in use ever since.
New Apple File System (APFS) has solved couple of problems exist in HFS and HFS+. Honestly, most users haven’t realized these problems on their computers. In order to fix the hard drive capacity problem that limit to HFS+, APFS adopts the 64-bit APFS index node, that is file ID, while HFS+ used 32-bit, so you can think this is a great process that APFS have made.

APFS can still support the local single-key and secret-key cryptography, that is to say, users can use the FielVault to encrypt or decrypt individual files and folders, and lock/unlock the entire hard drive. Spotlight search is also a little faster than beforedue to the search itself and the capacity of the hard disk. for most users, in a word, what APFS can bring is absolutely obvious: it makes you hard drive run faster and safer than before.

New Video Standard

As more and more popular of 4K video,High Efficiency Video Encoding (HEVC aka H.265) is coming in macOS High Sierra, and many of the existing apps are being updated. Frequency compression rate can be improved as high as 40%. While maintain the same video quality, video streaming is better, and storage space occupied by 2 on Mac in the usage of HEVC.

Metal 2

Metal 2 has certainly opened the door of games creation, machine learning and virtual reality content creation. The incoming Metal 2 update brings new capabilities in machine learning, virtual reality and external GPU support. No matter you areplaying games, creating or developing software, Metal 2 can provide powerful strength to help you realize your imagination.

Virtual Reality

Macos high sierra enables developers to use Mac to create interactive virtual reality experiences for the first time, developers will be able to use peripherals like the HTC Vive VR headset and apps like Final Cut Pro X, SteamVR, Epic Unreal 4 Editor and Unity Editor to create immersive new worlds, says Apple.
