00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.480
we asked you our faithful community why you think macOS is the bomb and we

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:12.320
compiled this list of the 10 ways that macOS really is just

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.400
plain better a ridge wallet is a sleek way to keep

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.960
wallet bulge down thanks to its compact frame and rfid blocking inner plates use

00:00:21.439 --> 00:00:28.180
the offer code in the video description to save 10 on your ridge wallet and get

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:36.320
free worldwide shipping

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.719
number one is a big one the ecosystem that apple has created i mean the fact

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:46.399
that you can have your phone laptop desktop and even a watch and then have

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.840
your data documents photos i mean even copy paste

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:57.280
or open websites just move seamlessly from one to the other via handoff and

00:00:53.920 --> 00:01:00.399
icloud is so cool that i can almost

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.960
forgive apple for calling it magical

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:07.680
imessage is closely related but came up specifically a lot in your comments

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:12.400
being able to text and call from any of your devices was a standout feature for

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:17.439
many of you and yet another cool one that's coming up in the upcoming build

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:20.000
of macOS catalina is approve with apple

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.759
watch which lets you authenticate by clicking your watch instead of typing in

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:29.360
your password another part of the ecosystem that results in

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:34.240
it just works or it's like magic is the first party peripherals they all

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:39.840
just work with little to no initial setup and have the great feel and

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:42.479
functionality that almost make them must

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.799
finally we can't forget about airdrop apple's wireless file beaming solution

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:50.479
that kind of sort of makes up for the inability to get certain files off an

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:54.560
iphone over usb kind of number two easy navigation and

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:58.960
organization mission control apple's visual app

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:03.920
manager lets you see what you have open as well as create virtual desktops

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:08.319
having multiple desktops is great when you have only a single screen looking at

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:13.040
you macbooks but you need to keep multiple applications or even multiple

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.200
workspaces organized with only a single swipe needed to switch between them

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:24.480
speaking of swiping apple's track pads are freaking amazing i've said it before

00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:26.560
a lot but apple has nailed the trackpad

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.360
in every way feel functionality and especially the

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.599
gestures the most amazing thing about apple's gestures isn't that they exist

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

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:45.040
it's just that they're intuitive enough that people will actually use them

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.519
number three is spotlight a quick command space bar allows you to

00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:53.920
find just about anything on your mac or anywhere else need directions to the

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:58.720
nearest restaurant easy forgot where you put your master's thesis due monday bam

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:03.599
spotlights found it that recipe is in metric and all your baking supplies are

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:07.760
imperial poof converted it's a great tool and it's ultra fast

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.599
number four is the ready-to-run experience i mean there are very few

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.920
things that an average user would need to install to be able to deal with most

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.640
work or casual situations garage band imovie and photos are

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:25.760
already included to help your simple creative projects get started and apple

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:30.879
includes their basic but functional productivity suite for free while

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:35.920
Windows can't even open a powerpoint until you install separate software

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

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:45.920
converter it slices it dices it even lets you preview video files in finder

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:50.560
and fill out forms and sign them too number five is bootcamp got a Windows

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

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:58.799
side every mac can be a Windows or Linux machine now there are obvious uses for

00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:02.560
this like if you're a developer and you want to check compatibility or if you

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:07.040
want to fire up the odd game but ultimately the way people use it boils

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

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:15.120
flexibility to mac users number six is

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:18.799
it just works but specifically for developers we must have a lot of

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:24.000
developers in our audience because there was a very vocal group that pointed out

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:30.240
to the point where you just couldn't ignore it that macOS is based

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:34.080
on unix specifically a highly modified

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:37.600
version of bsd now to be fair this is

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.680
much more of a technical feature so not

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:44.400
everyone would agree or even understand that it's important but it does have

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:48.880
implications that do benefit both expert level users and more casual slash

00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:53.360
average ones at a very high level developers and

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:57.840
system administrators love unix because they can dig deep into the os and have a

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.759
clear understanding of what's happening for average users the benefit is the

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.960
stability that comes from such a solid foundation another thing our developer fans brought

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.039
up is xcode apple's integrated development environment it's used to

00:05:09.039 --> 00:05:14.960
develop for apple's entire lineup of operating systems so whether you're

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:19.360
working on software for a mac computer or the apple watch xcode allows

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:23.120
developers to harness the power of each system's hardware and create compelling

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:28.080
apps that fall in line with apple's stringent guidelines number seven

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:32.960
exclusives aren't exclusive to gaming consoles and macOS

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:36.960
has a fair few of its own logic pro has been one of the standards

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:41.280
in the music industry for years alongside pro tools another digital

00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:44.960
audio workstation or daw logic pro is preferred by many

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:49.520
professionals because it doesn't rely on third party vendors to provide core

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:54.560
functionality or even music samples this makes it easier for pros who might

00:05:51.919 --> 00:05:59.280
have to move around from workstation or studio to studio to slide into the chair

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:02.960
and get going right away parallels is another exclusive that lets

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.080
you have much of the functionality of bootcamp by enabling you to run Windows

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:12.240
or Linux without even shutting down your macOS operating system

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:16.400
now that other operating system will be virtualized so there is a performance

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:21.039
penalty but if all you care about is let's say running the Windows version of

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:23.360
microsoft office it'll do you just fine

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:27.120
the big one though of course is final cut pro

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:32.160
as a video editing suite it is loved by professionals and amateurs alike for its

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:37.840
fast rendering and smooth workflow and it remains to this day a key purchase

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:41.440
consideration for creative types number eight accessories

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:45.680
want to personalize all the stuff you own so you can be your own unique

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

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:55.039
covered there too stands dongles docks cases you name it you can probably find

00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:59.680
it for your mac because apple has a smaller more focused

00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:04.080
product line it's easier and in many cases more cost effective for third

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:08.880
parties to support which leads to a ton of options for consumers

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.840
number nine is that apple products cost more

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

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:20.560
lot of noise in recent years about how the product is the product instead of

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:24.400
the customer being the product but they really do walk the walk for the most

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:27.759
part when's the last time apple tried to cram their crappy web browser down your

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

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

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:44.240
apple tax upfront in exchange for the peace of mind of knowing that they can

00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:48.560
actually turn off all of the os level telemetry and data collection is a sound

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:52.639
investment finally number 10

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.879
reliability now this one is sure to spark some

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

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:07.120
machine is flipping awesome you set it up once and you can basically forget

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

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:15.039
lickety-split furthermore apple's versions feature which allows access to

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:20.319
previous versions of documents and files makes it an even greater asset to both

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:22.800
professionals and average users

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:27.120
speaking of godsend updates back when i was daily driving in imac sometimes i

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

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:38.479
everything my apps my desktop it was just untouched exactly where i left it

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.719
and in true apple magic fashion when an

00:08:38.479 --> 00:08:45.920
update happens time machine if you have it set up even makes a quick backup

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:47.279
ahead of time you know just in case

00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:51.839
amazing now we're not glossing over apple's

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:57.440
reliability scandals there have been quite a few but this video is about the

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:59.200
10 reasons that you guys love your macs
