Apple's El Capitan is a free update that streamlines the Mac experience and spruces up existing tools without changing the fundamental OS X experience.
The Bad
The updates to some of Apple's native apps -- Safari, Mail and Maps -- still don't improve them beyond the level of third-party alternatives.
In September 2016, a great milestone achieved by Apple in the line of desktop and server Operating System. Mac OS X El Capitan is a latest operating system for Apple commuters, and upgrade to a previous OS X Yosemite, its comparatively more secure, faster and updated version of Mac OS.
It's the latest Version of Apple OS X, focuses mainly on performance, stability and security.
Apple has announced Split View apps, an improved Mission Control window management system, find your cursor, a much smarter Spotlight search, better full-screen Mail, a new Notes app, Safari browser with pinned tabs, additional features for Photos, transit directions in Maps, a new font for English and Chinese, and improved language input for Chinese and Japanese. There's also Metal for Mac, so you get better performance, and new security features, so you stay safer.
OS X 10.11 El Capitan, named after a mountain within Yosemite national park, will be available as a free update in the autumn.Apple iOS 9 to give four extra hours of iPhone battery lifeRead moreApple’s Craig Federighi said it was going to be the fastest version of OS X to date: “It’s up to 1.4x faster and we’ve seen it twice as snappy switching between apps.”The company has rewritten parts of the operating system to optimise it, extending battery life and making existing computers feel faster. It will be able to open PDF documents four times faster, for instance.Apple brought its Metal graphics system from its iOS to the Mac, which Epic Games, developers of the Unreal graphics engine used by many of today’s top games, said was significantly faster and less processor intensive for rendering intensive graphics.Spotlight, Apple’s search engine, also so an upgrade with semantic searches.“Users can search for “documents I worked on last June” and it will find all the documents created in June last year on your Mac,” said Federighi.Apple has improved window management in El Capitan, including the ability to size windows to half the screen, something Microsoft’s Windows has had baked in for years but requires a third-party app such as Moom or manual rearrangement on Yosemite.
Very nice, neat, efficient and modern
One thing is clear at this point: Apple is pretty happy with how OS X looks, feels, and functions. The improvements they’ve made over the past several updates have been strictly evolutionary. Nothing they’ve done rocks the boat too much, and while El Capitan definitely boasts some new features that are useful, overall you’re not going to see a huge difference between the past two or three versions of OS X.More to the point: If you remember how OS X Snow Leopard was mostly an all-around performance and usability improvement over OS X Leopard, you’ll immediately understand how upgrading to El Capitan will feel compared to Yosemite.In fact, it’s not even that Yosemite had issues that needed to be fixed. Yosemite is pretty solid. However, El Capitan is mostly under the hood performance tweaks, feature updates to bundled Apple apps, and a few useful perks that may or may not become part of your regular workflow. If you’re looking for amazing new bells and whistles here, there are none—but you may find some fixes for persistent and annoying bugs you just plugged through up to this point.
