Those that like their OS X a bit more 3D and flashy may be a bit disappointed with this but it does give OS X a crisper, cleaner and overall less fussy look and feel. OS X Yosemite has also been given a much 'Flatter' look and feel. Especially for those that want call and SMS access from their Mac, upgrading to Yosemite will be worth it alone. For those that regularly use or sync their Mac and iOS device together, Yosemite makes life much easier.

Yosemite also allows you to make and receive calls on your Mac via your iPhone including the ability to send and receive text messages. This encompasses a host of new features and usability improvements.ĪirDrop for example now works between iOS and Mac with a new ' Handoff' feature making it incredibly easy to send files between devices when they are within range.

The most significant enhancement is switching between iOS and OS which has been improved by Continuity - a new feature which detects when iOS and OS X are on the same network and lets you change between the two far more easily (not available in the beta version).

Mail has been improved and now lets you send large attachments more easily with support for annotating documents and fill out forms within email messages. iTunes has also been through an interface upgrade with a slicker navigation menu although there may be more changes when the final version is released.

Meanwhile iPhoto has disappeared and is replaced by a faster slicker app called Photo. Spotlight not only searches apps and files but even Wikipedia, delivering more specific results from a variety of sources. One of the biggest improvements has been with Spotlight which is now much more powerful. There are many new improvements in Yosemite with some features dropped from Mavericks.
