Apple releases a new version of its Mac OS X ever year. The current version called OS X Yosemite was released in 2015. While it was a welcoming addition, it lacked many new features like file system updates, stability, interface tweaks and basic structure. It mostly merged all the features of its predecessor. But 2016 is slated to bring about a new OS X version 10.12. OS X 10.12 is reported to be named as OS X Fuji. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting product from Mac.

A New File System 

A new file system is expected in OS X 10.12. Apple has long been using its HFS+ file system which controls all the data inputs and retrievals.

Rumors suggest that Apple has been planning a new in-house file system for a long time and if it does roll out a new system, it would be a big change in OS X that would stick around for years, probably decades to come.

Backup

OS X Fuji is also expected to get a new backup mechanism. Currently, OS X uses the TimeMachine features, which lets the users to backup their data. But it is full of technical jargon and creates issues for many users.

Integration

A lot has been changed since the launch of the launch of Yosemite. Apple Watch and TV are out and OS X 10.12 Fuji is expected to get a native integration with Apple devices. OS X Fuji features will have a great suite of apps and services availability for all the Apple’s ecosystem products.

Health App, Music App, and More

A dedicated music app for OS X Fuji will be a huge game changer. iTunes has turned into a convoluted set of apps and services and it becomes difficult to use it with ease.
