“Since its launch in 2011, the Mac App Store has become the single largest catalog of Mac apps and today remains the safest and best place to get Mac apps for users around the world”, said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.

However, if you really want to know what new features are coming, other people, such as 9to5mac, are kindly sharing their experiences and highlighting the new features that are present in macOS 10.14 Mojave.
The move is significant because it shows Apple protecting its practice of taking between 15 percent and 30 percent of the purchase price of software bought in the App Store. Quick Look has been updated as well with a similar Quick Actions set up to edit files without ever opening them. The announcement was made at Apple’s WWDC 2018 event and includes a series of new features that are exclusive to the OS.
The goal is to also help developers bring third-party apps to operating system, starting in late 2019 with a new iOS framework that can easily adapt an app to macOS with few code changes. There’s also deeper integration with iPhones, allowing Macs to use the iPhone’s camera for tasks like scanning documents. Reclaim more free space on your hard drive and make your Mac as good as new.

Security and privacy is another big focus of macOS 10.4, with Apple enhancing Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention to block social media “Like” or “Share” buttons and with comments widgets (gulp) from tracking users without permission. It’s first phase of this is seen this year with News, Home, Stocks, and Voice Memos being ported.
In the meantime, Mojave will offer four iOS apps that Apple has already converted: Apple News, Stocks, Home, and Voice Memos. In previous versions of macOS, you were able to make your dock and menu bar darker, but other interface elements blinded you with whiteness.
With Continuity Camera, for example, you can use your iPhone’s camera to add images to a document you’re working on on your Mac. The latest software updates come up with new features and bug fixes.

– The Watch also comes with a new feature called Walkie Talkie. But in order to comply, the owner of the Steam gaming platform, Valve, may have to water down the app significantly compared to its Android version. Aside from new categories of featured apps and games, the shopfront will be getting Microsoft’s Office 365 and Adobe’s Lightroom CC.
