00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,480
we asked you our faithful community why you think macOS is the bomb and we

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:12,320
compiled this list of the 10 ways that macOS really is just

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,400
plain better a ridge wallet is a sleek way to keep

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,960
wallet bulge down thanks to its compact frame and rfid blocking inner plates use

5
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,180
the offer code in the video description to save 10 on your ridge wallet and get

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:36,320
free worldwide shipping

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:42,719
number one is a big one the ecosystem that apple has created i mean the fact

8
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,399
that you can have your phone laptop desktop and even a watch and then have

9
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,840
your data documents photos i mean even copy paste

10
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:57,280
or open websites just move seamlessly from one to the other via handoff and

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,399
icloud is so cool that i can almost

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,960
forgive apple for calling it magical

13
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:07,680
imessage is closely related but came up specifically a lot in your comments

14
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:12,400
being able to text and call from any of your devices was a standout feature for

15
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,439
many of you and yet another cool one that's coming up in the upcoming build

16
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,000
of macOS catalina is approve with apple

17
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:23,759
watch which lets you authenticate by clicking your watch instead of typing in

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,360
your password another part of the ecosystem that results in

19
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:34,240
it just works or it's like magic is the first party peripherals they all

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,840
just work with little to no initial setup and have the great feel and

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,479
functionality that almost make them must

22
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,799
finally we can't forget about airdrop apple's wireless file beaming solution

23
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,479
that kind of sort of makes up for the inability to get certain files off an

24
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,560
iphone over usb kind of number two easy navigation and

25
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,960
organization mission control apple's visual app

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:03,920
manager lets you see what you have open as well as create virtual desktops

27
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:08,319
having multiple desktops is great when you have only a single screen looking at

28
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:13,040
you macbooks but you need to keep multiple applications or even multiple

29
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,200
workspaces organized with only a single swipe needed to switch between them

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:24,480
speaking of swiping apple's track pads are freaking amazing i've said it before

31
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:26,560
a lot but apple has nailed the trackpad

32
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,360
in every way feel functionality and especially the

33
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,599
gestures the most amazing thing about apple's gestures isn't that they exist

34
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:40,080
or how much you can do with them i mean there's lots of gestures on Windows too

35
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:45,040
it's just that they're intuitive enough that people will actually use them

36
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:49,519
number three is spotlight a quick command space bar allows you to

37
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,920
find just about anything on your mac or anywhere else need directions to the

38
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,720
nearest restaurant easy forgot where you put your master's thesis due monday bam

39
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:03,599
spotlights found it that recipe is in metric and all your baking supplies are

40
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:07,760
imperial poof converted it's a great tool and it's ultra fast

41
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,599
number four is the ready-to-run experience i mean there are very few

42
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,920
things that an average user would need to install to be able to deal with most

43
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:20,640
work or casual situations garage band imovie and photos are

44
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,760
already included to help your simple creative projects get started and apple

45
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:30,879
includes their basic but functional productivity suite for free while

46
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:35,920
Windows can't even open a powerpoint until you install separate software

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,480
another big inclusion is apple's preview it's a pdf viewer it's an image file

48
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:45,920
converter it slices it dices it even lets you preview video files in finder

49
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:50,560
and fill out forms and sign them too number five is bootcamp got a Windows

50
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:54,799
laptop and want to run a mac app you're plumb out of luck but on the flip

51
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:58,799
side every mac can be a Windows or Linux machine now there are obvious uses for

52
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:02,560
this like if you're a developer and you want to check compatibility or if you

53
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,040
want to fire up the odd game but ultimately the way people use it boils

54
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:12,480
down to the individual user and there's no doubt that it gives a lot of extra

55
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:15,120
flexibility to mac users number six is

56
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,799
it just works but specifically for developers we must have a lot of

57
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:24,000
developers in our audience because there was a very vocal group that pointed out

58
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:30,240
to the point where you just couldn't ignore it that macOS is based

59
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,080
on unix specifically a highly modified

60
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:37,600
version of bsd now to be fair this is

61
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,680
much more of a technical feature so not

62
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:44,400
everyone would agree or even understand that it's important but it does have

63
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,880
implications that do benefit both expert level users and more casual slash

64
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,360
average ones at a very high level developers and

65
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:57,840
system administrators love unix because they can dig deep into the os and have a

66
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:01,759
clear understanding of what's happening for average users the benefit is the

67
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,960
stability that comes from such a solid foundation another thing our developer fans brought

68
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:11,039
up is xcode apple's integrated development environment it's used to

69
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:14,960
develop for apple's entire lineup of operating systems so whether you're

70
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:19,360
working on software for a mac computer or the apple watch xcode allows

71
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:23,120
developers to harness the power of each system's hardware and create compelling

72
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,080
apps that fall in line with apple's stringent guidelines number seven

73
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,960
exclusives aren't exclusive to gaming consoles and macOS

74
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,960
has a fair few of its own logic pro has been one of the standards

75
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,280
in the music industry for years alongside pro tools another digital

76
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,960
audio workstation or daw logic pro is preferred by many

77
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:49,520
professionals because it doesn't rely on third party vendors to provide core

78
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:54,560
functionality or even music samples this makes it easier for pros who might

79
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:59,280
have to move around from workstation or studio to studio to slide into the chair

80
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,960
and get going right away parallels is another exclusive that lets

81
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,080
you have much of the functionality of bootcamp by enabling you to run Windows

82
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,240
or Linux without even shutting down your macOS operating system

83
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,400
now that other operating system will be virtualized so there is a performance

84
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,039
penalty but if all you care about is let's say running the Windows version of

85
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,360
microsoft office it'll do you just fine

86
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:27,120
the big one though of course is final cut pro

87
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:32,160
as a video editing suite it is loved by professionals and amateurs alike for its

88
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:37,840
fast rendering and smooth workflow and it remains to this day a key purchase

89
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,440
consideration for creative types number eight accessories

90
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:45,680
want to personalize all the stuff you own so you can be your own unique

91
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:50,560
unicorn well you can do that and if you're more of a pragmatic type you're

92
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:55,039
covered there too stands dongles docks cases you name it you can probably find

93
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,680
it for your mac because apple has a smaller more focused

94
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,080
product line it's easier and in many cases more cost effective for third

95
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:08,880
parties to support which leads to a ton of options for consumers

96
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:11,840
number nine is that apple products cost more

97
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:16,160
and believe it or not i'm actually not joking with you guys apple has made a

98
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,560
lot of noise in recent years about how the product is the product instead of

99
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:24,400
the customer being the product but they really do walk the walk for the most

100
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,759
part when's the last time apple tried to cram their crappy web browser down your

101
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:32,800
throat so they can collect more of your data to sell when have they served you an ad when you

102
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:39,520
went to launch a program they haven't so for many users the idea of paying the

103
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:44,240
apple tax upfront in exchange for the peace of mind of knowing that they can

104
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:48,560
actually turn off all of the os level telemetry and data collection is a sound

105
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:52,639
investment finally number 10

106
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,879
reliability now this one is sure to spark some

107
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:02,720
debate in the comments but guys hear me out for a moment if your mac fails time

108
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:07,120
machine is flipping awesome you set it up once and you can basically forget

109
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,879
about it until you need it and it's there to get you back up and running

110
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:15,039
lickety-split furthermore apple's versions feature which allows access to

111
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:20,319
previous versions of documents and files makes it an even greater asset to both

112
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,800
professionals and average users

113
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:27,120
speaking of godsend updates back when i was daily driving in imac sometimes i

114
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:32,000
didn't even notice that my computer got an update i'd come in in the morning and

115
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:38,479
everything my apps my desktop it was just untouched exactly where i left it

116
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:40,719
and in true apple magic fashion when an

117
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:45,920
update happens time machine if you have it set up even makes a quick backup

118
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,279
ahead of time you know just in case

119
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,839
amazing now we're not glossing over apple's

120
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:57,440
reliability scandals there have been quite a few but this video is about the

121
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:59,200
