 Catch up with macOS, iOS, and more.

 The recent descendants of the original Macintosh computers, have been
surrounded and invaded by a wide variety of new computing platforms.
All of these devices run custom tailored implementations of operating
system technologies that have contributed significantly to their
widespread adoption in both highly specialized and massively common
use cases. Through this family of platforms Apple has (ostensibly)
provided increased utility and convenience while pushing the
expectations of consumer privacy and security forward significantly.
Apple Inc. is an American multinational company that is continuing a
long campaign of profit and growth powered by these platforms,
 strict policies, and strategic marketing which have impacts felt
around the world and in our homes.

 Let's take a look at some of the recent changes you might have missed
as well as new changes coming down the pipeline. We'll also briefly
discuss the wider competitive market for these platforms and services
available today as well as consider the possibilities for computing
tomorrow.


 Justin Triplett is a MUG Board member, senior software engineer, and
