Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming OS X 10.11.4 update to public beta testers, just a few days after releasing the third OS X 10.11.4 beta to developers and more than two weeks after releasing OS X 10.11.3.

We're less than two months out from the launch of Apple's premium next-generation smartphone lineup, and while we're not expecting a dramatic change in terms of functionality, there are still several enhancements rumored to be coming to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
One thing worth noting is that Apple is reportedly planning a major change to its iPhone release cycle this year,...
* Get rid of root as Apple's effectively given 3rd party developers the finger * Put in the option to change the green button's behaviour (full screen on a large desktop screen is completely redundant) * Add option in keyboard commands to have cmd+x and cmd+v act as cut/paste for MOVING files in the Finder * Fix the way attachments are handled in Mail (christ, a 600 billion dollar company should get this right the first time) * Add option of folders on top in the Finder
