  • No Mac Is an Island with Macos Catalina June ’19 by ADAM ENGST Volume 35 Issue 6 Let’S Face It
    A Publication of the Silicon Mountain Macintosh User Group Colorado Springs Metro Area No Mac Is an Island with macOS Catalina June ’19 by ADAM ENGST Volume 35 Issue 6 Let’s face it. Macs users are adrift in a sea of iOS devices. Contents Waves of iPhones and iPads break around us, and even an occasional iPod touch floats by. So it shouldn’t be at all SIG News 2 surprising that the forthcoming macOS 10.15 Catalina Club News 3 focuses on changes that bring the Mac and iOS closer than Door Prize Winners 7 ever before. Joy of Tech 8 That’s not to say that Apple is trying to replace the Mac with iOS or remove those unique capabilities of the Mac that iOS, watchOS & tvOS 9 make it special. The Mac and macOS remain first-class, vibrant members of Apple’s hardware and Macs & macOS 17 software platforms. But what we’re not going to see, at least from Apple, are new technologies that set the Mac further apart from its iOS brethren. When it comes to operating systems, it’s safe to say that it’s one Gary Rosenzweig’s Tips 20 for all, and all for Apple. In today’s Worldwide Developer Conference keynote, Apple’s Craig Federighi whipped through the major changes, most of which revolved around individual apps. Unsurprisingly, those changes largely reflect or are matched by similar changes in the iOS versions, but there were Mac-specific enhancements as well. Ding, Dong, iTunes Is Dead Federighi had a fabulous riff where he discussed all the features Apple was planning to add to iTunes—Calendar! Mail! A dock!—before acknowledging that iTunes is dead, Jim.
