OS X 10.11.4 includes a couple of new features like support for password protected notes in the iOS 9.3 Notes app however, like the recent OS X 10.11.3 update, it seems to focus primarily on minor bug fixes and performance improvements with few external changes.

tvOS 9.2 beta 5

The fifth beta of tvOS 9.2, the operating system that runs on the fourth generation Apple TV and has been in testing since January 11, comes just a week after Apple released the fourth beta and more than a month later. from the release of tvOS 9.1.1, a minor update for tvOS 9.1.

TvOS 9.2 is another important update for the operating system of the new Apple TV 4. It introduces support for Bluetooth keyboards, so it will be much easier to enter text, a task that has always been really tedious via the remote control.

In addition, the new version also includes the option to create app folders as in iOS devices, a very good option that will allow us to have the main screen of our Apple TV well organized. It also includes a new App Switcher interface.tvos_folder-800x450

TvOS 9.2 also includes support for the app Podcasts included in tvOS 9.1.1, introduces MAPK, which developers can use to embed maps in their Apple TV applications, and adds Siri support for the US Spanish (in the US only) and Canadian French (in Canada).

Finally, access to iCloud Photo Library comes with support for Live Photos stored in an iCloud photo library that can be played by tapping on the Siri Remote touch panel.

iOS beta 9.3 5

In the previous beta versions of iOS 9.3, the Apple Pencil could not be used for tasks such as selecting text, scrolling, swiping between applications, accessing menus and general editing functions in non-drawing applications. The removal of this feature annoyed many iPad Pro users, prompting Apple to confirm that its absence was only temporary.

As we saw with the previous version, iOS 9.3 includes many new features, although the most significant are the introduction of that Night Shift or "night mode", the option to establish passwords and / or configure Touch ID for use both in the entire Notes app as well as specific notes within the application, as well as new quick actions that users of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus can benefit from, the only ones that have the 3D Touch function.
