Apple Sierra or macOS Sierra is an operating system (OS) known for its dependability and efficiency. After eliminating vulnerabilities of previous OSs and making emphasis on usability and productivity, Apple has considerably transformed the user experience of Mac owners. For example, macOS Sierra has TouchBar functionality, which is needed to use new MacBook models. Furthermore, the OS has integrated Siri, thereby making it possible to drop personal assistant’s search results into the Notifications pane and use them in other apps. This is especially useful for image and map searches.

The developers of Apple Sierra have made it possible to log in to a Mac with Auto Unlock when a user wears their Apple Watch, thereby obviating the need for entering their password. Now, it is possible to use Apple Pay when making e-commerce purchases in Safari.

Cross-device compatibility has been further improved in macOS Sierra: user documents can be accessed from iPhone with the help of iCloud Desktop and Documents. Moreover, Optimize Storage allows removing unnecessary files from a Mac, thereby freeing up drive space.

After the delivery of the latest overhaul of macOS, the user experience has been enriched with several useful features. For instance, Picture in Picture allows playing a video in a floating, resizable window over a user’s desktop, which makes it possible to watch a ball game while working on other tasks. Tabs in apps allow managing several windows in both Apple and third-party utilities. macOS Sierra has also revamped Apple Music experience in iTunes.

Apple Sierra is well worth a try because it is a solid OS that brings interoperability with iOS devices on a whole new level.
