This year, the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference was held between 13th and 17th of June, during which the company unveiled its new desktop operating system 'macOS' known as Sierra, however the information that has created great excitement among the Apple fans if the inclusion of much loved virtual assistant Siri in the desktop operating system. The introduction of Siri on the desktop operating system is perhaps a reaction to Microsoft adding its own virtual assistant to their desktop operating system.
While it is without doubt an exciting development for IPhone users who might be used to Siri, the real game changing elements of Sierra might lie elsewhere. According to tech website TheVerge, "So that's Siri. But to me, the most important thing in Sierra isn't Siri, it's the combination of iCloud and Continuity features that make the Mac feel like it's just as much a part of the cloud ecosystem as its iOS cousins. Let's hit the simple stuff first - and I should say up front that I haven't been able to test any of this, as it all requires that you have iOS 10 Beta and / or watchOS 3 installed.You can use Apple Pay inside Safari - and you give it the authorization to pay by using the fingerprint sensor on your iPhone or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch. Clever."
It went on to add, "Even more clever: you can use your Apple Watch to unlock the Mac instead of constantly typing in your password. Apple is smart about it, too: it checks how long it takes a little tiny bit of data to shoot from your Mac to the Watch and back again. If it takes too long, it knows that your Watch is farther than three meters away and it won't unlock." A video on the first look of Sierra is available here.
