![]() “APFS-formatted volumes automatically grow and shrink–you never have to repartition an SSD drive again,” an Apple support page said. APFS allows macOS users to more easily manage space between multiple volumes, in that they can easily add and delete volumes on solid-state drives (SSDs) within the Disk Utility. With the announcement of macOS High Sierra, Federighi said that the Apple File System (APFS) would be the default for all Macs moving forward. The standard is also supported on mobile starting with iOS 11, meaning the videos a user takes on their iPhone or iPad will remain high quality without taking up as much space. H.265 is a next-generation video compression standard that basically allows video files of the same quality to be compressed to a smaller size. High-efficiency video coding (HEVC) H.265 will be supported by macOS High Sierra. Apple is known for its photo features, such as live photos in iOS and content management options in iCloud Drive, and High Sierra offers better facial recognition support for improved organization and more. Mail search on Mac is also improved with High Sierra, while Photos received a new design and layout. “Now your privacy, your browsing history is your own,” Federighi said at WWDC. High Sierra brings Intelligent Tracking Prevention for Safari, a new feature that blocks trackers of user data. While the feature will improve the browsing experience for many users, it will make it more difficult for Apple to compete with advertising giants Google and Facebook. One of the biggest updates unveiled with the High Sierra macOS version is that the Apple web browser, Safari, will now block AutoPlay videos, so users won’t encounter videos automatically playing when they open a web page. It was announced at the 2017 WWDC event in San Jose by Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi.
