With every new major update for Apple’s operating system for the Mac comes the mandatory review.

This year, OS X is now called macOS while this is a small cosmetic change, it’s also a good opportunity to take a step back and look at the current state of macOS. After more than 15 years and 13 major updates, the Mac is now a mature platform

A new update showing the many new features of macOS Sierra. macOS Sierra doesn’t feel like a major change if you were already using OS X El Capitan.

Let’s get the main new features out of the way. For the first time, Siri is making its way to the Mac. It’s long overdue, and it has a few tricks. You can ask for the weather, NBA scores, a word translation or sending a text. Third-party apps can’t take advantage of Siri on the Mac that feature is limited to iOS 10.

The Photos app is getting all the new iOS 10 features, such as automatic albums based on locations and dates, and a much more powerful search feature.

In Messages, you can preview links, send tap backs and view stickers. Unfortunately, many of the new iOS 10 features for Messages didn’t make their way to the Mac. You won’t be able to send stickers or install apps.

Other features include the ability to sync your Desktop and Document folders with iCloud, storage optimization powered by iCloud, Apple Pay on the web, tabs in more apps, picture-in-picture in Safari, real-time collaboration in iWork apps and more.

If you have an Apple Watch, you can set up two factor authentication with your Apple ID, you can unlock your Mac automatically if you’re wearing your Apple Watch.

macOS Sierra is adding many nice features to your existing Mac. In the meantime, Mac users want the most robust platform they can get.
