That tends to make for less down time and is easier for the end-user. I really would have liked a more modular and delta-style approach, similar to the way popular Linux distributions are done.
#PURCHASE OS X MAVERICKS INSTALL#
The install went OK, but I could have lived without Maps and iBooks on my computer. So maybe let's not break our arms patting Apple on the back just yet. Arguably it fixed more than it innovated, but whatever. That said, it's worth mentioning that the recent Windows 8.1 was a free update. This wasn't a small update, and I'd have had no problem giving up the usual $20 or so. Apple can get away with it, right or wrong.
#PURCHASE OS X MAVERICKS UPDATE#
But for some reason I could see Apple releasing a major update next year, or the year after, and charging for it again. It's tough to raise the price later on down the road, though. But maybe best of all - nothing broke.Īs for the update cost, you can always go cheaper. Finder tabs are nice to have, but (and I won't be the only one to mention this) they're pretty hidden. Proper dual monitor support and the battery life improvements (on the already excellent 2013 MacBook Air - thanks, Haswell!) are the big-ticket items for me. And updating to Mavericks was surprisingly smooth.
#PURCHASE OS X MAVERICKS MOVIE#
Meanwhile, a feature in iMovie called Movie Theater allows you to watch your iMovie clips across multiple devices as long as they’re stored in the cloud. In iPhoto, you can now create photobooks on your mobile device and then have a hard copy shipped to you from Apple. On the desktop version, a new feature called Drummer adds a variety of drummers that can play along with your songs. You can also share songs via AirDrop or work on tracks on multiple devices via iCloud. If you have an iPhone 5s or a new iPad, that number jumps up to 32.
Garage Band for iOS now supports 16 tracks (up from eight). Of the apps, Garage Band received the biggest update. ILife, iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band now offer a simpler and cleaner design. The new software will be free with the purchase of any new Mac or iOS device. In addition to unveiling a new iPad mini and releasing Mavericks as a free update, among other things, the company also revealed new versions of iLife and iWork for its desktop and mobile operating systems.Įddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet software and services, took to the stage today to introduce the refreshed iLife and iWorks apps, saying, “This is the biggest day for apps in Apple’s history.”Īll apps have been redesigned to take advantage of OS X Mavericks and iOS 7, and have been updated to 64-bit and integrated with iCloud.
When Apple said it had a lot to cover today, they were not kidding.
