Let's talk about iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple TV or Mac, those who have purchased one or more devices Apple they were able to enjoy updateequally with users around the world. And they will continue to do so.

Apple it does not update operating systems as often as Microsoft does Windows, but when it does, it does not interrupt the user's work and is done simultaneously for users worldwide. In addition, the company Apple keep in mind the old devices. We say that in 2018, a MacBook Pro (mid 2012) still receives system updates and even new versions of macOS. Free and without obligations. The same happens with the part of mobile devices.

users macOS have one very simple system for updating both of the operating system and of the applications installed. Everything is done through the App Store in the section "Updates".

UpdateURLs macOS they are divided into three categories:

- update applications (updates of applications already installed on the operating system macOS)
- update macOS (new versions of the operating system, which mostly bring new features, improved performance)
- update important system files and security (most of the time these updateis downloaded in the background and you are urged to install them)

These updatecan be done either automatically or at the request of the user. Of course, it is best to set them to automatic mode, so that when an important update is released it will be downloaded and installed immediately on the system.
