macOS High Sierra feature introduction

      Apple File System (APFS)

APFS is a new advanced storage architecture that provides a scalable foundation for new features and future storage technologies on Mac.

​​ APFS provides support for the latest mass storage devices with enhanced performance, security, and reliability.

With APFS, daily operations such as copying files and directories can be completed almost instantly.

​ ​ Thanks to advanced data integrity features, data is protected even during power outages and system crashes.

APFS currently supports Macs with all-flash internal storage, with support for Fusion and HDD Mac systems coming in a future update.

      High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) support

HEVC (H.265) is a new industry standard that enables extremely efficient video compression, streaming and playback.

HEVC allows users to watch 4K video files at full image quality while using 40% less storage space than the current H.264 standard1.

With HEVC, Apple enables high-quality streaming of 4K video over networks where previously only HD streaming was possible2.

Hardware acceleration on the new iMac and MacBook Pro delivers extremely fast and energy-efficient HEVC encoding and playback.

Adobe, Blackmagic Design, GoPro and other developers have joined Apple in adopting HEVC.

      Metal 2

Metal is Apple’s advanced graphics processing technology and a way to integrate GPU capabilities into Mac more quickly and efficiently.

Metal 2 supports next-generation experiences such as machine learning capabilities used in speech recognition, natural language processing, and computer vision.

Metal 2 features further improved APIs and improved performance to help developers like Unity, Epic, Valve, Pixelmator and more enhance their future development app speed.

With the combination of Thunderbolt 3 and Metal 2, even performance-demanding Mac users can now use powerful external GPUs.

      Core ML

With Core ML, Apple can bring the power of machine learning to all Apple developers, allowing them to create new kinds of apps.

Core ML takes full advantage of Metal and Accelerate provides incredible power, speed, and efficiency for machine learning operations such as computer vision, natural language processing, and convolutional and recurrent neural networks.

​​​​​​​​​​All calculations and processing driven by Core ML are completed on the device side in a way that respects customer data and privacy.
