Apple has always stuck to a philosophy of closeness, probably something which is a cornerstone of the wild success of Apple products. However, while the company has been really insistent on guarding its hardware, it has been a tad bit lax when it comes to its software. But that may be changing now.
Apple's iOS is, without a doubt, an excellent mobile operating system.

The build brings a number of features to Mac such as Messages, Reminders, Game Center, Notes, Twitter integration, Share Sheets, Notification Center and AirPlay Mirroring.
