OS X Yosemite Release Date: Apple’s OS May Arrive Sept. 19 W/ iOS 8 Availability; 7th Preview Of Platform Avail. To Developers

OS X Yosemite release date: Apple’s latest OS, the OS X Yosemite, maybe officially succeeding OS X Mavericks on September 19, once its made available for public download. It maybe ready for download on the said date together with iOS 8. Though the dates are uncertain and will be unknown until revealed directly by Apple.

The new iPhones, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, were launched Tuesday but there was no mention from the Cupertino tech giant on the availability of its OS.

“Apple’s latest desktop operating system, OS X Yosemite, won’t officially come out until sometime this fall. But now that its public beta is open, both developers and a large number of Mac owners are able to use a preview version of the landmark OS,” writes Wired Magazine.

The platform’s version available for download is its preview variant, generally made ready for developers who will be creating or updating apps for the OS.

The OS X Yosemite was announced by Apple during its WWDC conference this year, the time of the year where the company is known to share announcements on its software products. The Yosemite’s predecessor, the OS X Mavericks, was announced on the same venue.

OS X Yosemite is also OS X 10.10 and comes with a refreshed design. And like the OS X Mavericks, it will be offered for free.

“OS X 10.10 Yosemite follows in the footsteps of last year's OS X 10.9 Mavericks with an even cleaner design and more features inspired by iOS,” writes The Verge.

The new OS has flat design, transluscent panels, and lack of gradients and textures of iOS 7 can be found throughout the Yosemite. The Verge notes that the new interface update lends a much more modern look to the desktop operating system. The OS X 10.10 is also designed to work with iOS-powered devices better.
