Apple has today announced macOS Sierra, the successor to OS X 10.11, which comes with a focus on Continuity, iCloud, and “the fundamentals of the Mac experience”.

The naming convention change means Apple now has a consistent naming structure across its software platforms: iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

One of the most significant new features of macOS Sierra is ‘Auto Unlock’, which allows you to remotely unlock your Mac using an Apple Watch.

macOS also has a new feature called ‘Universal Clipboard’ that enhances traditional copy and paste functionality, by enabling users to automatically copy text, photos, and more from an iPhone, and paste them on a Mac.

Other new features coming to the Mac operating system include Siri integration, an iCloud Drive update that makes files on your Mac available across multiple devices, tabs for multi-window apps (built-in and third-party), and Picture-in-Picture, which works in full screen.

macOS Sierra is available to developers today. A public beta will be launched in July and a public release is coming in the fall.
