The Core ML developer framework makes it easy to create apps
Virtual Reality SupportmacOS High Sierra adds support for VR content creation
for the first time, enabling developers to create immersive gaming, 3D and VR
content on the Mac.Leading VR companies are working with Apple to drive VR
innovation on the Mac with features coming later this year.HEVC enables users to
watch 4K video files at full quality, while requiring 40 percent less storage
space than the current H.
Data is protected from power outages and system crashes
thanks to advanced data integrity features.Spotlight provides flight status
information, including departure and arrival times, delays, gates, terminals and
even a map of the flight path.The new OS update has started rolling out and Mac
users can update it for free.Developers are already using Core ML to enhance
apps like Pixelmator Pro, which uses machine learning to detect and understand
various features within images and create intelligent editing solutions.
The
Core ML developer framework makes it easy to create apps with powerful machine
learning that predict, learn and become more intelligent.Metal 2 supports
next-generation experiences like machine learning used in speech recognition,
natural language processing and computer vision.Valve is optimizing its SteamVR
platform for macOS and enabling connection of the HTC Vive headset, while Unity
and Epic are bringing their VR development tools to macOS.Intelligent Tracking
Prevention in Safari detects and eliminates cookies and other data used by
advertisers for cross-site tracking, to help keep a user’s browsing
private.Third-party editors like Photoshop, Pixelmator and other apps can be
launched from Photos, with edits saved back to the Photos
library.High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) SupportHEVC (H.2Hardware
acceleration on the new iMac and MacBook Pro delivers incredibly fast and
power-efficient HEVC encoding and playback.APFS currently supports every Mac
with all‑flash internal storage — support for Fusion and HDD Mac systems will be
available in a future update.264 standard.Siri on the Mac responds with a more
natural voice and learns music preferences, creates custom playlists and answers
music trivia when using Apple Music.
Additional app refinements:Safari stops
media with audio from automatically playing in the browser, and Reader can
automatically open articles in a clean, uncluttered format.Metal 2 features a
refined API and improved performance that’s helping developers, including Unity,
Epic, Valve, Pixelmator and more, accelerate their future apps.With the
combination of Thunderbolt 3 and Metal 2, the most demanding Mac users can now
access powerful external GPUs. macOS High Sierra also includes a number of
refinements to the apps Mac users enjoy every day, including Photos and
Safari.Notes adds simple tables, allowing a user to type in cells, make edits
and move rows and columns.Later this year, Final Cut Pro X will add support for
professional 360-degree VR workflows with the ability to import, edit and export
360-degree video on the Mac. Apple announced macOS High Sierra, the latest
release of its desktop operating system, and is now available as a free
update.New features in macOS High Sierra include:Apple File System (APFS)APFS is
a new, advanced storage architecture providing an extensible foundation to
support new features and future storage technologies on the Mac.With APFS,
common operations such as copying files and directories are nearly
instantaneous.Core MLWith Core ML, Apple brings the power of machine learning to
all Apple developers, enabling the creation of entirely new kinds of apps.A
refreshed editing UI includes powerful new editing tools like Curves, for
fine-tuning contrast, and Selective Color, for making adjustments to a specific
color range. Apple claims that its new file system ensures efficient and
reliable storage, and support for High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) that
brings stunning 4K video at lower file sizes.Metal 2Metal is Apple’s advanced
graphics technology and the fastest, most efficient way to tap into GPU power on
the Mac.Developers like Adobe, Blackmagic Design, GoPro and more are joining
Apple in adopting HEVC.Metal 2 powers its virtual reality content creation with
a faster performance.Photos UpdateAn updated, always-on sidebar and new
filtering and selection tools make photo organization quick and easy. With macOS
High Sierra, Mac users gain powerful new core storage, video and graphics
technologies.APFS brings support for the latest high-capacity storage devices
and delivers enhanced performance, security and reliability.Core ML takes full
advantage of Metal and Accelerate, delivering incredible power, speed and
efficiency to machine learning operations such as computer vision, natural
language and support for convolutional and recurrent neural networks.With macOS
High Sierra, Mac users gain powerful new core storage, video and graphics
technologies.
All of the computation and processing driven through Core ML is
done on-device in a way that respects customers’ data and privacy.265) is a new
industry standard that enables extremely efficient compression, streaming and
playback of video.Support for third-party project extensions provides access to
