Apple just announced and released the Developer Preview of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, and although the forthcoming Mac software update offers a little more than a few cosmetic changes, it is indeed those aesthetic tweaks that are most noticeable about this particular version. Here, we take a look at Yosemite's UI elements versus the corresponding design of the preceding OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and although it doesn't, on the whole, feel as dramatic a departure from tradition as iOS 7 did back in September of last year, the breakdown really hits home how much work Apple's design team has put in.
We didn't really expect to see any hardware announced at WWDC, but if we were to be treated to anything new and shiny, we'd have put our money on a Retina iMac being part of the equation. Alas, that was not to be, but the rumors of a new super-high resolution iMac aren't going to die quite so easily, and the firs beta of OS X 10.10 Yosemite may hold yet more clues as to where the iMac line will be going this year.
With almost all major new software releases from Apple, older devices and machines tend to get left behind, and having just announced iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 Yosemite at its WWDC keynote earlier on this week, it has since been confirmed that the the iPhone 4 will not be carried over to the next generation of Apple's mobile software line. Yosemite hasn't, however, claimed any victims, and so if your Mac is compatible with OS X 10.9 Mavericks or indeed 10.8 Mountain Lion, then you should have no problem applying this free Yosemite update when it eventually does release.
With each new version of iOS and OS X comes the inevitable spate of new wallpapers, and with both iOS 8 and OS X now out in their respective beta / Developer Preview states, those new-look backdrops are now available to download for all.
Although Apple divulged some of the details pertaining to OS X 10.10 Yosemite and iOS 8 at WWDC, only now are certain new pieces of information coming to light. In what will go down as great news for developers and video reviewers alike, it would appear that the upcoming version of OS X includes a neat feature for screencasting iOS devices directly to Mac, without any need for third-party hardware.
There may not have been any hardware announcements, but Apple surely made up for any disappointment with the volume and quality of the software it showed off. It's been a big day in the world of iOS and OS X, so we thought it is best to have a quick rundown of what's been announced and give you a chance to relive the whole keynote by linking to the official live stream of the WWDC 2014 event. We'll be covering some of this in more depth, but if you want a quick glance at what all the fuss is about, this is where to get it.
