 Apple has been very busy and at World Wide Developer Conference 2015 unveiled new versions of OS X, iOS, and -- before most people even have their Apple Watch-- WatchOS. Packed with goodies and performance enhancements, these new operating systems will ship in the Fall and be compatible with all devices that can take the current operating systems - nothing is being left behind this time. Developers already have the new software in their hot little hands and Precursor is already busy in our "mupper labs" checking things out. For the first time ever Apple will have a public beta of OS X so that non-developers can give it a whirl.
- OS X 10.11 El Capitan Split View and Natural language searching
- iOS 9 Powerful new Notes app and Wallet replaces Passbook
- Watch OS 2 Native 3rd party apps and see your future with TimeTravel

Other features include a unified experience across both desktop and mobile devices. PUsers will be able to seemlessly sync things like photos, sketches, brushes and colours across all devices. Photoshop users will be able to remove haze and fog from photos and will get a 120x boost to the Healing Brush and Path tools.Shop for Creative Cloud licenses at software.precursor.ca
