It might not sound tremendously exciting, but Apple has found a number of core efficiencies and improvements to certain tasks in El Capitan (making it 50 percent quicker to open a PDF, for instance, and 40 percent quicker to open many apps) and introduced Metal, its new graphics bedrock, leading to much better performance in games and pro apps - though WIRED only had limited compatible software with which to test this in the real world. The final big area of improvement is in core performance - battery and speed. But in its understandable reluctance to put a touchscreen on a Mac, or to mess too much with a laptop's core form factor, OS X only has limited potential to transform our lives, and itself. Apple will no doubt continue to make excellent - let's face it, the best - desktop computers and laptops around. It's just going to get better, and the hardware is just getting bigger and more powerful.īy contrast, OS X still makes way more sense today as a desktop OS - but look ahead five or ten years and it becomes a bit tougher to see where it goes next. As iOS appears on bigger screens and better processors, its starting to find ways to be more useful to more people. The new multitasking features in the latest release were a huge improvement on their own, and came coupled with iOS's continued security and battery usage benefits. It doesn't work.īut if iOS still lacks sophistication in the workplace, it also brims with potential. Try running a modern CMS - such as, for instance, the one on which this review was produced - on an iPad, with image resizing and video editing, social media monitoring and posting and various Office-related workplace minutiae happening all at once, for instance. That isn't to say iOS is actually better at most tasks when you're working at a desk.
