MacBook

Light. Years ahead.






With the new MacBook, we set out to do the impossible: engineer a full-size experience into the lightest and most compact Mac notebook ever. That meant reimagining every element to make it not only lighter and thinner but also better. The result is more than just a new notebook. It’s the future of the notebook.

Operating System

OS X El Capitan

Engineered to take full advantage of your Mac hardware, OS X El Capitan is designed to be as easy to use as it is beautiful to look at. It comes with an amazing collection of apps you'll use — and love — every day. And it enables your Mac and iOS devices to work wonderfully together.

A full-size keyboard.

In a fraction of the space.

We believe that a comfortable, full-size keyboard is essential for a great notebook experience. But to fit one into the elegantly thin new MacBook, we had to completely rethink how a keyboard is engineered and constructed. To create the new keyboard, we redesigned each key and its underlying mechanism — not only making the whole keyboard much thinner, but also allowing for more comfortable, precise, and responsive typing that just feels right.

Retina re-envisioned.

The moment you open the new MacBook, its gorgeous 12‑inch Retina display with edge-to-edge glass brings everything into focus. Every photo leaps off the screen in rich, vibrant detail. Over 3 million pixels render each letter with crystal clarity. And it all comes to light on the thinnest, most energy-efficient Retina display ever on a Mac, meticulously honed to deliver a bold visual experience within an impossibly minimal design.

The trackpad, pushed even further with Force Touch.

With the new MacBook comes a whole new way to experience a trackpad. The Force Touch trackpad is engineered to deliver a responsive, uniform click no matter where you press the surface. And underneath, force sensors detect how much pressure you’re applying and give you new ways to interact with your Mac. You can now use a Force click to enable new capabilities, like quickly looking up the definition of a word or previewing a file just by clicking and continuing to press on the trackpad. You’ll also experience haptic feedback — a tactile vibration from the trackpad that adds the sense of touch to what you see on the screen. These advanced capabilities work in addition to all the intuitive Multi-Touch gestures Mac users love. You’ll be more in touch with your Mac than ever before. Without lifting a finger.

Fully equipped for a wireless world.

The new MacBook is designed to fit effortlessly into our increasingly wireless world. Just about anything you do with a notebook can now be done over the air, thanks to Apple software that takes full advantage of the latest Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology. So no matter where you are, you can connect to the web, transfer files, organize your photos, listen to music, and more — without being tied down.

The most efficient way to charge a notebook is by connecting a charger to a port. And as long as we were going to include a port for charging the new MacBook, we wanted to make sure it was the most advanced and versatile one available. The new USB‑C port puts just about everything you need in a port all in one place. This amazing port provides charging, speedy USB 3 data transfer, and video output in a small, reversible design that’s one-third the size of the current USB port.

Quietly astonishing.

The new MacBook has been engineered from the ground up for silent, efficient performance. It starts with a fifth-generation Intel Core M processor that runs on just 5 watts of power, made even more efficient by optimizations throughout OS X. Together the processor and OS X sip so little energy that the system generates very little heat, so no fan is required to cool the computer. That means when your MacBook is working, you won’t hear a thing. And the logic board on which the processor sits has been completely redesigned to pack all the capability you expect in a Mac into as little space as possible.

All-day battery life.

All-new design.

We know people rely on Apple notebooks for all-day battery life, regardless of how compact they are. And with the slim new MacBook enclosure, all-day battery life simply would not be achievable using traditional rectangular batteries. So we developed our own unique battery technology specifically designed to make use of every last millimeter of available space. The result is a terraced, contoured battery design that not only fits perfectly inside the incredibly slim MacBook, but also is unlike anything seen before in a notebook.

OS X

OS X is the operating system that powers everything you do on a Mac. With OS X El Capitan, it’s simple to do amazing things and delightful to do all the everyday things. And it works seamlessly with your apps and iOS devices.

Built-in Apps

Every Mac comes with apps for creativity and apps for productivity. It also comes with a collection of great apps for things you do every day, like surfing the web, sending mail and messages, and organizing your calendar. It even comes with an app for finding new apps. Your Mac is more than full‑featured, it’s fully loaded.

Design

Pure invention.

We designed the new MacBook to be not only thinner and lighter, but more functional and intuitive than ever before. To do that, we couldn’t just shave a millimeter here, a gram there. So we started from scratch, reinventing each essential element as part of a singular, deceptively simple design. It’s everything there is to love about Mac. In its purest form ever.

A keyboard reimagined from A to Z.

From the beginning, our goal was to design a full, uncompromising Mac experience. And a full-size keyboard is an essential part of that. In order to fit a full-size keyboard in the incredibly thin MacBook, we designed the keyboard from the ground up. Each component has been rethought specifically for the new MacBook, from the underlying mechanism to the curvature of the surface of each key to the distinctive new typeface. The result is a keyboard dramatically thinner than its predecessor. Now when your finger strikes the key, it goes down and bounces back with a crisp, consistent motion that makes typing with precision a breeze.

Butterfly mechanism

Traditional keyboards use a scissor mechanism, which tends to wobble around the edges. This creates a lack of precision when you strike anywhere except the center of the key. We needed to reduce key wobbling for a keyboard this thin; otherwise, striking a key off-center could result in the keycap hitting bottom before a keystroke registers. So we designed an entirely new butterfly mechanism, which is wider than the scissor mechanism and has a single assembly made from a stiffer material — allowing for a more stable, responsive key that takes up less vertical space. This innovative design improves stability, uniformity, and control — no matter where you press on the key.

Key design

The redesigned keys on the new MacBook feature a larger surface area, a thinner construction, and a deeper curvature, creating a more defined space for your fingertip to naturally find and press the keys. These refinements may be subtle, but the feel is distinct and intuitive. Combined with the butterfly mechanism, this new design allows for much greater control when typing.

Precision backlighting

When we set out to design an incredibly thin keyboard, one of the first things we considered was how to backlight the keys in a way that took up less space while delivering an even cleaner and more refined look and feel. To do that, we removed the row of LEDs and the light guide panel that distributed light throughout the keyboard and instead placed an individual LED under each key. These LEDs are calibrated for uniform brightness, so every key and character looks clear and sharp with minimal light around the keycap. All while being engineered for as much energy efficiency as possible.

3 million pixels.
0.88 millimeter. Razor sharp.

The 12-inch Retina display on the new MacBook isn’t just picture perfect — it’s also paper thin. In fact, at just 0.88 millimeter, it’s the thinnest Retina display ever on a Mac. A specially developed automated manufacturing process forms the impossibly thin edge-to-edge glass that’s only 0.5 millimeter thick. And we reduced the space between display components for a tighter, more integrated design.

To deliver the gorgeous Retina experience on the sleek new MacBook, we had to innovate on every level, right down to the pixel. So we redesigned the pixels to create a larger aperture, allowing more light to pass through. This enabled us to use LED backlighting that’s 30 percent more energy efficient than the Retina display on any other Mac notebook, yet still achieve the same level of vivid brightness.

The Force Touch trackpad.
Press a little deeper, do a lot more.

The new Force Touch trackpad may look like other trackpads on the surface, but underneath it’s unlike anything that’s existed before. Force sensors detect how much pressure you’re applying, and the new Taptic Engine provides a click sensation when you press anywhere on the surface. Now the click that once was a single, mechanical function is just the start of what you can do with Force Touch. The sensory capabilities of the Force Touch trackpad allow you to tell your MacBook what you want it to do based on subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply. This makes it possible to perform a variety of different actions in different apps, all on the same surface. And it can respond with haptic feedback you can actually feel, making your MacBook more usable and personal than ever before.

Taptic Engine

Traditional trackpads use a “diving board” mechanism, which requires room underneath for the downward motion of a click and makes it harder to click the part of the surface closest to the keyboard. With the Force Touch trackpad, force sensors detect your click anywhere on the surface and move the trackpad laterally toward you, although the feel is the same familiar downward motion you’re accustomed to in a trackpad. The Taptic Engine also provides haptic feedback, so instead of just seeing what’s happening on the screen, you can feel it, too. The trackpad sends a tangible response to your fingertip when you perform certain tasks, like aligning annotations on a PDF.

Force Touch

In addition to the intuitive Multi-Touch gestures you may be familiar with — like scrolling, swiping, pinching, and rotating — Force Touch brings a new dimension to the Mac experience. The sensitivity is customizable, allowing you to adjust how much pressure is needed to register a click. And the trackpad can even tell whether you’re clicking with your thumb or another finger and automatically adjusts the sensitivity level.

Force click

Click and continue to press on the trackpad to enable new capabilities, like looking up the definition of a word, previewing a file in the Finder, or creating a new Calendar event when you Force click a date in the text of an email.

Accelerators

Gradually add pressure to the trackpad to vary the speed with which you fast-forward through a QuickTime movie or zoom in on a location in Maps.

Pressure-sensitive drawing

Press lightly for a thin stroke or harder for a thick one when marking up a Mail attachment or creating a signature for forms in Preview.

We squeezed the most into it.
And out of it.

Each component inside the new MacBook has been meticulously designed to get the most out of an incredibly thin and light enclosure. We started with an amazingly efficient processor, coupled with fast Intel HD Graphics 5300, and optimized OS X to draw on the processor using as little power as possible. Because no fan is needed to cool the new MacBook, it runs silently and without any moving parts, and it has more room for battery cells to provide all-day performance.

Processor

Inside the new MacBook you’ll find the fifth-generation Intel Core M “Broadwell” processor — the first chip designed with 14-nanometer process technology. This means that the chip is packed with more transistors than the previous generation for higher density and more efficient performance. The Core M processor is the perfect fit for the new MacBook, combining energy efficiency with the performance needed to handle everyday tasks.

Fanless architecture

The new MacBook is the first Mac notebook ever without a fan. Since the Intel Core M chip draws only 5 watts of power and therefore generates less heat, no fan or heat pipe is required. Instead, the logic board is seated on top of an anisotropic graphite sheet, which helps disperse any heat that is generated out to the sides, all while your Mac stays virtually silent. The new MacBook is made even more efficient by OS X features like Timer Coalescing, App Nap, and Safari Power Saver, which ensure that every task is performed using just the right amount of power. No more, no less.

Logic board

With the new MacBook, we were able to take what we learned from making thin yet powerful devices like iPhone and iPad and push that knowledge even further. We carefully arranged the processor, flash storage, and memory on the smallest and highest-density logic board ever in a Mac. In fact, it’s 67 percent smaller than the logic board in the 11-inch MacBook Air.

Storage and memory

Even with its miniaturized internal components, the new MacBook has an impressive capacity to store the files and run the applications you need every day. MacBook features 8GB of fast, power-efficient 1600MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory. Combine that with 256GB or 512GB of flash storage and you get an amazingly thin and light notebook with snappy performance.

512GB - PCIe-based flash storage

 

Innovation on every level.

To achieve all-day battery life,¹ we needed to use every millimeter of space inside the slim MacBook enclosure. Traditional rectangular batteries leave unused space when placed in a curved enclosure, so we created a new type of battery technology that allowed for an innovative terraced battery cell, custom shaped to fit the specific contours of the enclosure. The result is 35 percent more battery cell capacity than would have been possible before. So all the available space in the enclosure is used, and you have all the battery life you need to get you through the day.

The battery cells in the new MacBook are not only designed with enormous attention to detail, but are also assembled with extreme precision and care. High-speed cameras first take detailed photos of both the casing and the battery. We use those photos to account for microscopic variations in each enclosure, and carefully place the batteries so that not a single millimeter of space is wasted.

Incredibly portable.
With one amazing port.

To create a notebook as thin and light as the new MacBook, we had to strive for efficiency in every detail, right down to how it connects to peripherals and power. So we contributed to a new universal connectivity standard that combines the essential functions you need every day in one dynamic port. The amazing USB-C port offers charging, quick USB 3 data transfer for connecting to external devices and peripherals, and video output that supports HDMI, VGA, and DisplayPort connections. All in a small, reversible design that’s one-third the size of the current USB port.

The world’s most energy-efficient notebook.

Each aspect of the new MacBook — from the Retina display to the terraced battery to the advanced technologies of OS X — has been optimized to be as energy efficient as possible, with a typical energy consumption of 10.10 kWh per year. It also exceeds the low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR 6.1 qualification. And because the battery in the new MacBook requires less frequent charging, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint from day-to-day use.

Designed with the environment in mind.

We designed the new MacBook to be free of many harmful toxins, including beryllium, BFRs, and PVC. It’s also made from highly recyclable materials such as aluminum and glass. The new MacBook has earned the highest rating of Gold from EPEAT, which evaluates the environmental impact of a product based on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses, and how it’s designed and manufactured.

Wireless

Connected to everything. Tethered to nothing.

The new MacBook is not just ready for the wireless world. It was designed for it. Thanks to the latest wireless technologies — and innovative Apple software and services that let you get the most out of them — you can do nearly everything you need without plugging in. This portability allowed for an incredibly light and compact design that gives you enough room for a battery that lasts all day (up to 9 hours). The new MacBook is designed to go anywhere you want to go. And do everything you want to do along the way.

Your photos, music, and files. Wherever you want them. Wirelessly.

Managing your photos, music, and files used to mean syncing to multiple devices, transferring photos with cables, and emailing documents back and forth to yourself. iCloud simplifies your digital life by bringing all these important pieces of information into a single account accessible from any Mac or iOS device. With iCloud Drive, you can safely store presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and any other kind of document or file and access them from anywhere. When you’re signed in to your iCloud account on multiple devices, you can even use Handoff to pass a document seamlessly between them, picking up right where you left off. It all happens automatically, securely, and wirelessly.

Sharing files has never been easier.

AirDrop makes sharing files with another Mac or an iOS device simple. With just a few clicks, you can take a file from any folder and use AirDrop to send it directly to a nearby Mac or iOS device. No need to email it or use any other web‑based service. It’s the simplest way to share a great photo on your Mac to your friend’s iPhone. Or send your contact info to a new colleague across the table.

Listen freely.

Nothing — including an audio cable — should come between you and your favorite music. With the new MacBook, you can listen to your favorite song, artist, podcast, and more with Bluetooth-enabled accessories like Beats Solo2 Wireless headphones. Or share your playlist with the whole party by streaming it to Bluetooth‑enabled speakers.

Show off your photos, video, and more on your HDTV.

Sharing a presentation or a video clip from your computer to a TV shouldn’t require any hassle or complicated setup. With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream what’s on your MacBook to your HDTV and speakers using Apple TV. Or mirror exactly what’s on your display to the big screen. Guests in your home or office can even use AirPlay to stream from their devices without having to connect to your Wi‑Fi network. Vacation photos, home movies, presentations — AirPlay and Apple TV put it all on your TV.

Wireless wherever you go.

If you’re out of Wi-Fi range, your MacBook can connect to the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone by using its cellular connection when it’s close by. So even when you’re far away from a Wi-Fi connection, using your MacBook to browse the web and send email is still well within reach. With the Instant Hotspot feature, you’ll see the name of your iPhone in the list of Wi‑Fi networks on your MacBook. Just select it and you’re connected. And when you’re not using your phone’s network, your devices intelligently disconnect to save battery life.

Download new apps and get updates to the ones you have.

The new MacBook comes loaded with great apps for the things you do every day. And with thousands more apps to choose from, the Mac App Store opens up just as many possibilities for what your Mac can do. No need to plug in or install anything from a disc. Just one click and you can instantly download and install a new productivity tool or killer game directly via Wi-Fi. The Mac App Store keeps track of your apps and tells you when an update is available. And you can even have your apps and OS X update automatically whenever you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, so you’ll always have the latest version of every app you own.

Print from anywhere.

Wireless printing makes it easy to print photos, documents, web pages, and email from your new MacBook. Wireless printing compatibility is built into most popular printer models. So all you have to do is select an AirPrint-enabled printer on the same Wi-Fi network and click Print. No installation. No hassle. And no wires.

Automatic wireless backup.

Time Machine makes it simple to keep everything on your Mac backed up wirelessly to an AirPort Time Capsule or other external hard drive connected to an AirPort base station. Time Machine automatically backs up your data while you’re connected to your Wi-Fi network, so you don’t have to remember to do it. When it’s this easy to back up everything, you won’t have to worry about anything.

OS X. 

OS X.
It’s what makes a Mac a Mac.

OS X is the operating system that powers every Mac. Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation, it’s engineered to take full advantage of what the hardware is capable of.

Send and receive both iMessage and SMS text messages on your Mac. Start an email, document, or browsing session on one device and instantly pick it up on another. And turn on the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone right from your Mac so you can get online in an instant.

iCloud. Everything you love, everywhere you go.

With iCloud, your data is kept up to date on all your devices. So a contact or a calendar event you add on your iPhone also appears on your Mac. You can send driving directions from your Mac to your iPhone. Add a meeting to your calendar on your Mac and receive an alert on your iPad. Even start a Messages conversation on your iPhone and finish it on your Mac. If you’re an Apple Music member, your entire library lives in the cloud, so you can always access all your music without it taking up any space on your devices. And iCloud Drive lets you access all your documents on your Mac and iOS devices and even on a PC. So your files will go wherever you do.

Security was the first thought.

Not an afterthought.

OS X is engineered with advanced technologies that are constantly working together to keep your Mac and the information on it safe. Gatekeeper makes it safer to download and install apps from the web. FileVault safeguards data using powerful encryption. Sandboxing helps protect your system by isolating apps from each other, as well as from your system and your data. Customizable privacy settings keep your personal information under your control. Find My Mac helps you locate your Mac on a map, set a passcode remotely, and more.

The best way to keep your Mac secure is to keep your software up to date. The Mac App Store notifies you when an update is available. And because OS X El Capitan is a free upgrade, it’s easy to keep your Mac safe with the latest security features and enhancements.  

Compatible with Windows.

The versatility and power of OS X help a Mac fit in just about anywhere — including Windows networks. Want to transfer your files, photos, and other data from a Windows PC? OS X lets you do that easily with Migration Assistant. If you want to run Windows on your Mac, you can do that with Boot Camp.⁵ OS X has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange, so you can use your Mac at home and at work and keep all your messages, meetings, and contacts in sync. And, of course, you can work with popular file types such as JPG, MP3, and PDF, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.

Accessibility built in.

OS X comes standard with a wide range of assistive technologies that help people with disabilities experience what the Mac has to offer, including many features you won’t find in other operating systems — at any price. For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen reader, available in over 30 languages, makes it possible for those who are blind or have low vision to control their computers using key commands or gestures on a Multi‑Touch trackpad. Switch Control makes it easier to navigate menus and operate basic controls such as volume, brightness, eject, and media playback. OS X also offers out-of-the-box support for more than 50 braille displays (including Bluetooth displays) and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic full-screen magnification, playback of closed captions, and a scalable screen.



Built-in Apps

One of the best things about a Mac is everything you can do with it.

Every Mac comes with a collection of great apps for things you do every day, like Safari for surfing the web, Photos for managing your photos and videos, Pages for creating documents, Numbers for making spreadsheets, and Keynote for preparing presentations. There are apps for sending email and text messages, taking notes, and staying up to date with your contacts and calendar. It even comes with the Mac App Store for finding new apps. Your Mac is more than fully featured, it’s fully loaded.

All your photos. Always with you and picture perfect.

The Photos app for Mac makes it simple to manage a lifetime’s worth of photos and videos. Powerful yet easy-to-use editing tools let you edit like a pro even if you’re a beginner. And you can add to your toolkit with editing extensions from your favorite developers and access them right in the Photos app. Photos has also been fine-tuned to make it even easier to manage your library. Now you can add a location to a single image or a group of photos, and you can batch change photo titles, descriptions, and keywords. Naming your favorite people in Faces is faster with a streamlined workflow. And you can sort your albums — and the contents inside them — by date, title, and more.

Featuring an easy-to-use and streamlined design, the all-new Photos has been engineered from the ground up to help you keep your growing library organized and accessible. Powerful and intuitive editing tools help you perfect your images as well as create beautiful gifts for sharing. And with iCloud Photo Library, a lifetime’s worth of photos and videos can be stored in the cloud — so you can access your entire collection from your Mac, iOS devices, and even your PC, anytime.  

iCloud Photo Library. One convenient home for all your photos and videos.

iCloud Photo Library gives you access to your entire Mac photo and video library from all your devices. If you shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically added to iCloud Photo Library as well — so it appears on your Mac, your iOS devices, on iCloud.com, and your PC. And since your collection is organized the same way across your Apple devices, navigating your library always feels familiar.

Make an edit here, see it there.

When you make changes on your Mac like editing a photo, marking a Favorite, or adding to an album, they’re kept up to date on your iPhone, your iPad, and iCloud.com. And vice versa — any changes made on your iOS devices are automatically reflected on your Mac.

Fill your library, not your device.

iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.

The moment you’re looking for, always at hand.

The beautiful design of the Photos app uses Moments, Collections, and Years views to automatically organize your photos and videos by when and where they were taken. With dramatically more screen space devoted to your photos, you can easily scan your entire library at a glance and quickly find the content you’re looking for. A new, streamlined toolbar puts the right controls at your fingertips, giving you instant access to the photos you’ve shared, the albums you’ve made, and the projects you’ve created. And you can use gestures to browse your entire photo collection with just a touch.

Moments 
The Moments view groups photos and videos taken around the same time and place, like an afternoon hike. You can also easily add or adjust a location in your photos. And Live Photos taken on an iPhone come to life when you hover over them with your cursor.

Collections
Collections are made up of distinct Moments that were taken at the same place, such as your four-day trip to the Southwest.

Years.
View your entire library in a beautiful mosaic of all the photos and videos you’ve taken each year. Click and hold any thumbnail to bring up a preview, and scrub over the collection to see previews of every image. Just release the click to open up the picture.

Shared.
With iCloud Photo Sharing, you can get an overview of the photos and videos you’ve shared with friends and family, and the ones they’ve shared with you. And it’s easier than ever to see Likes and Comments that have been posted.

Albums.
View the Albums and Smart Albums you’ve created, as well as preset Albums, which automatically group your photos into Favorites, Videos, Panoramas, and more. You can sort your albums — and the contents inside them — by date, title, and more. And you can name your favorite people in the Faces album faster than ever.

Projects.
View the books, cards, calendars, print orders, and slideshows you’ve created. You can keep working on existing projects or start new ones with ease.

Perfect your best shots with powerful editing tools.

Create standout photos with a comprehensive set of powerful but easy-to-use editing tools. Choose Enhance to improve your photo with just a click. Use a filter to instantly give it a new look. Or use new Smart Sliders to quickly edit like a pro even if you’re a beginner. Smart Sliders intelligently adjust multiple elements of your photo at once — so it’s easier than ever to lighten a dark image, get the color just right, or create a beautiful black and white.

Take control of the finest details.

Photos makes it simple to apply more advanced adjustments to your image. You can make precise edits by enabling the histogram, adjusting levels, adding definition, and more. You can even add a vignette for a final artistic touch.

Your presentation. Totally decked out.

Keynote for Mac makes it simple to create and deliver beautiful presentations. Updated for OS X El Capitan, Keynote employs powerful tools and dazzling effects that bring your ideas to life. You can work seamlessly between Mac and iOS devices. And work effortlessly with people who use Microsoft PowerPoint.

Powerful creative tools

Make a great show of your ideas.

Picture a dazzling presentation. Then make it happen with easy‑to‑use visual tools. Drop in photos or video. Add reflections and picture frames. Punch up your data with interactive charts. Use the new Split View feature in OS X El Capitan to source stock art in Safari. Then tie it all together with cinema‑quality transitions. Keynote is built to handle it. Spectacularly.

Truly special effects.
Use over 30 stunning cinematic transitions and effects for objects and text that will affect your audience in a big way.

A pixel-perfect performance.
Pixel‑accurate rulers and alignment guides make it a snap to line up elements on your slide. Just drag until the guide appears, then let go. Everything literally snaps into position.

Visual aids for your visual aids.
Powerful image editing tools help you make every frame an eye‑opener. Automatically tweak photos with one‑click image enhancement. Remove a photo’s background with Instant Alpha. Or even add advanced graphics like contact shadows.

Make your pitch perfect with presentation tools.
The customizable Presenter Display lets you choose the tools you want to use. You can edit your notes while you present, with the support of up to six displays. And quickly pair with a nearby iOS device to control a presentation on your Mac — even without a wireless network.

Split and conquer.
The new Split View feature in OS X El Capitan makes quick work of multitasking. Now you can revise your presentation while reviewing your notes. Or resize a chart while searching for supporting visuals in Safari.

Designed for simplicity

It’s easy to get the show started.

Right from the beginning, Keynote sets the stage for a compelling presentation. A clean, intuitive interface puts all the tools you need front and center. And it’s built to harness the 64‑bit performance of OS X El Capitan. So everything runs smoothly — no matter how big or graphically rich.

Look good. Before you’ve made your first point.
Apple‑designed themes instantly give your presentation a polished look. Choose from over 30 eye‑catching designs.

The right tools. Right at hand.
The format panel automatically displays relevant options based on what you’ve selected. So you have the tools you need, just when you need them.

Your canvas is now the center of attention.
The canvas you work on is centered in your window, making it easier to handle objects outside the slide borders. It may seem like a little thing. Until you have to animate something from offscreen.

Presentation coach included.
Turn on coaching tips, and help will pop up just when you need it. That’ll give you the confidence to get the presentation going.

Impressive charts

Data takes center stage.

When it comes to explaining data, a chart is worth a thousand words. Choose from column, bar, pie, scatter, bubble charts, and more. Use animation to add visual impact. And make your charts interactive to focus attention on important stages of the story. The effect is huge, but the effort isn’t.

Interactive charts that steal the show.
Take your audience through your data step by step with interactive charts. Just move the slider to advance your chart through the data points. And to wow the audience.

Make your charts as unique as your data.
It’s easy to style your chart. Choose types, pick textures, specify 2D or 3D, and much more. So your data has your personality.

Keynote everywhere

Put all your devices to work. Together.

You don’t work in just one place on just one device. The same goes for Keynote. Presentations created on your Mac look exactly the same on your iPhone or iPad and vice versa. And it’s effortless to move your work from one device to another. You can even access your presentations from the web, share them, and collaborate with others in real time.

Always at hand.

Now with iCloud Drive, you have a place in the cloud where you can store all kinds of files, organize them however you want, and access them from any of your devices. Put a presentation in an iCloud Drive folder on one device and you’ll find it in the same folder on your other devices with your latest edits — so you never have to wonder what’s where or which is the latest version.

See it here. See it there.

With Handoff, you can seamlessly switch from Keynote on your iOS device to Keynote on your Mac and vice versa. Whatever presentation you were last working on will be there waiting for you with all your latest edits. Thanks to a single file format shared by Keynote for Mac and Keynote for iOS, your presentation will look the same no matter the device.

Welcome to the world wide workplace.

With iWork for iCloud, you can access all your presentations from iCloud.com in any Mac or PC web browser. You can also share a presentation with others and edit it together in real time — whether they’re in the next room or on the other side of the world. It’s amazing. And amazingly productive.

Easy to share

Expand your audience.

Keynote makes it easy to share your show with a cast of dozens. Right from the toolbar, you can send a copy of your file. Or share a link to your presentation that people can view even on mobile browsers. You can also work on files that are stored with third-party services. And presentations can be sent via services such as Gmail or Dropbox. It makes connecting with your team — and ultimately your audience — a lot smoother.

Lots of ways to deliver your presentation. Before you give it.
Quickly and easily share a link to your work via Mail, Messages, Twitter, or Facebook. So colleagues can conveniently view the shared presentation in any browser — even on iOS or Android. Getting all the players involved is easier than ever.

AirDrop. Just click Share and it’s there.
AirDrop lets you instantly and securely send your presentation directly to someone nearby over Wi‑Fi, without having to attach it to an email or a message.

A terrific show. In all formats.
Export your presentation to Microsoft PowerPoint, PDF, QuickTime, HTML, Images, or Keynote ’09 formats. Or export directly to YouTube and Vimeo to turn your show into a worldwide event.

Microsoft PowerPoint friendly

You don’t have to work in Office to work with Office.

Teaming up with someone who uses Microsoft PowerPoint? Keynote makes it a great working relationship. You can save Keynote documents as PowerPoint files. Or import and edit PowerPoint documents right in Keynote. Most popular PowerPoint features are supported, too. Now it’s no problem to work on the same project. Even if you use different apps.

Safari

The best way to see the sites.

The best browser for your Mac is the one that comes with your Mac. Safari is faster and more energy efficient than other browsers, so sites are more responsive and your notebook battery lasts longer between charges. Built-in privacy features help keep your browsing your business. Handy tools help you save, find, and share your favorites. And Safari works with iCloud to let you browse seamlessly across all your devices.

Longer battery life and faster performance.

With a blazing-fast JavaScript engine and energy-saving technologies, Safari is a faster, more enjoyable way to explore the web.

Browse longer. Watch more.

Safari is engineered specifically for Mac, so it takes advantage of the powerful technologies built into every one. And Safari now offers native support for Netflix. So compared with Chrome and Firefox, you can browse for up to two hours longer¹ and watch Netflix videos up to four hours longer.

+2 hours - browsing compared to Chrome and Firefox

+4 hours - watching Netflix videos compared to Chrome and Firefox

Chrome and Firefox.

Browsing with Safari is blazing fast thanks to advanced JavaScript engine optimizations that make websites and web applications feel snappier.

Defending your online privacy and security.

Privacy and security aren’t just something you should hope for — they’re something you should expect. That’s why features to help protect your privacy and keep your Mac secure are built into Safari. For example, it’s the only browser to offer DuckDuckGo — a search engine that doesn’t track you — as a built-in option.

Private Browsing windows.

When you use Private Browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information. Each tab in a Private Browsing window is isolated from the others, so websites you view in one tab can’t see your cookies from websites in another tab. This helps prevent websites you're logged in to from tracking you as you browse.

Third-party cookie blocking.

The web pages you visit often leave cookies from third-party websites. These cookies can be used to track where you go on the web, target you with ads, or create a profile of your online activities. Safari was the first browser to block these cookies by default. And by default it also prevents third-party websites from leaving data in your cache, local storage, or databases.

Protection from harmful sites.

Safari helps protect you against fraudulent Internet sites and those that harbor malware — before you visit them. If a website looks suspicious, Safari prevents it from loading and warns you.

Sandboxing for websites.

Sandboxing provides built-in protection against malicious code and malware by restricting what websites can do. And because Safari runs web pages in separate processes, any harmful code you come across in one page is confined to a single browser tab, so it can’t crash the whole browser or access your data.

Surf seamlessly across all your devices.

Not only does Safari come on every Mac, it comes on every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, too. And thanks to iCloud, your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and Reading List are always up to date no matter which device you’re using.

With Tab view, the last websites you had open on your Mac are available in Safari on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch — and vice versa. So you can go from one device to another without having to search for the web pages you were reading.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your user names, passwords, and credit card numbers and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favorite websites and quickly make online purchases. And everything is protected with robust 256-bit AES encryption.

With Bookmarks in Safari, your favorite sites are always close at hand. Bookmark a web page on your Mac, and it automatically appears on all your iCloud-connected devices.

Save web pages you want to read later simply by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the Internet.

Built-in tools for better browsing.

New features in Safari help you surf smarter and easily manage and share what you find.

Pinned Sites.

Keep websites you visit often — like your webmail, Facebook page, or Twitter feed — open, up to date, and easily accessible by pinning them. They’ll stay active in the background, and they’ll stay put on the left side of your tab bar.

AirPlay web video.

Play video from a web page to your TV with Apple TV — without showing everything else on your desktop. Just click the AirPlay icon that appears on compatible web videos and you can watch your video on the big screen.

Mute a tab.

Want to stop the music without hunting for the tab it’s coming from? Now you can mute it right from the Smart Search field. If you’re listening to audio in one tab and another website starts to play, you can mute the one you don’t want to hear. And if what you really want is silence, you can mute all audio from your browser, too.

Spotlight suggestions.

With Spotlight built into every Mac, you’re never far from the information you want. As you type in the Smart Search field, you’ll see Spotlight suggestions from sources like Wikipedia, news sites, Maps, iTunes, movie listings, weather, stocks, and sports.

Share menu.

Share anything you come across on the web without leaving Safari. Just click the Share button, then choose how you want to send it off. Use Mail, Messages, or AirDrop or add it to a note. Tweet or post to Facebook and even include comments and locations. A single sign-on sets up sharing to Facebook and Twitter, so you only need to log in once.

Reader.

View news stories and other articles in a layout that’s optimized for easy reading. Reader lets you focus on the text without being distracted by ads. You can customize your view by selecting your font size and style, and choose Sepia and Night themes.

Mail

An inbox full of useful features.

Mail is the simple, powerful way to manage email on your Mac. It’s easy to set up and works with many popular email services like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Microsoft Exchange. Have multiple accounts? No problem. Add your accounts to Mail and you’ll be able to access all your email from one place. Use handy swipe gestures to delete messages or mark them as unread to make quick work of your correspondence. Or you can dig in with an enhanced full-screen view that lets you juggle multiple messages at a time. Mail even helps you manage your calendar and keep your contacts up to date with proactive suggestions, right from your inbox.

Messages

Say hello to the only messaging app you need.

Love iMessage on your iPhone? You'll love it on your Mac, too. Messages lets you send unlimited messages to anyone on a Mac, iOS device, or Apple Watch. Your messages can include photos, videos, documents, audio, and contacts, and you can even see when your message has been delivered and when someone’s typing a reply. With end-to-end encryption, your iMessage conversations stay safe and private. And those green SMS text messages on your iPhone? They’re also on your Mac. Because all your conversations are available across your devices, you can start a conversation on your iPhone and pick it up on your Mac.

FaceTime

Make your smile go further.

FaceTime lets you make video calls from your Mac, so you can talk, smile, and laugh with anyone on a Mac or iOS device. Catch up, hang out, and stay in touch with just a click. Simply find the person you want to see by typing their name, email address, or phone number to start a FaceTime call. You can also start a FaceTime call from Contacts, Messages, or Spotlight. When someone calls, you’ll receive a notification that you can accept, decline, reply to via Messages, or set a callback reminder. It works even if FaceTime isn’t running, so you never have to worry about making yourself available.

Calendar

An app you’ll appreciate day after day.

Keep track of your busy schedule and share it with others using Calendar. Create separate calendars — one for home, another for school, a third for work, and so on. See all your calendars in a single window or choose to see only the calendars you want. The inspector lets you add a location to your event, suggests locations as you type, provides maps and weather forecasts, and automatically alerts you when it’s time to leave. And when you use iCloud, every Calendar change you make on your Mac automatically appears on your iOS devices and Apple Watch. So no dinner dates are missed, no meeting goes unattended, and no anniversary is forgotten.

Notes

Perfect for little tasks. And big ones too.

The powerful new Notes app is more than a great way to jot down a quick thought and keep track of it for later. Now you can turn a list into a checklist in a snap. Add links, photos, map locations, and more by clicking the Share button in apps like Safari, Photos, and Maps. All the attachments you’ve added to your notes are organized in one simple view: the Attachments Browser. And thanks to iCloud, all your notes and everything in them are kept up to date across all your devices. So you can create a note on your Mac and check it on your iPhone when you’re out and about.

App Store

Get apps for your Mac from your Mac.

The Mac App Store lets you browse, purchase, and install apps, widgets, and extensions on your Mac. New apps install in one step to Launchpad. If you get a new Mac, you can quickly redownload all the apps you own. And the Mac App Store can automatically update your apps and even OS X for you, so you always have the latest versions.

Turn pages with a flick on your iOS device or a two-finger swipe on your Mac trackpad. Read one page at a time, or turn your iPad on its side and view two pages at once. Read everything full screen, with no distractions, or read in white-on-black nighttime mode. Alter the look of most books by changing their text size and font. And open as many books as you like when reading on a Mac.

Heard any good books lately?

Audiobooks are just the thing when you want a story read to you. In OS X, you’ll find them in iTunes. In iOS 9, you can purchase and play audiobooks right in iBooks. They’ll appear on your library shelf just like your other books. And listening to a book is every bit as intuitive as reading one thanks to an all-new interface. You can even take your books on the road by tapping the Audiobooks icon on your CarPlay touchscreen. With iBooks for iOS, you can experience a great read in more ways than one.

With Series, your library gets a little more organized.

View your books by title, author, category, or series.
Or browse your entire library in All Books. If you have multiple books in a series, iBooks groups them together. Tap the series and it expands. You can see which books you already own and which ones are available next in the series. When you’re ready for the next book, you can purchase it right from your library.

iBooks and iCloud.

iCloud stores the stuff you care about — your music, photos, and contacts, for example — and makes it accessible from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac. iCloud even stores your books. And it doesn’t matter which device you use to buy them, because you’ll see every title you’ve purchased in your library. If you want it on your device, just tap to download it. So you can read one of your favorites on your iPhone during your morning commute, page through a few chapters of that same book on your Mac later in the day, and pick up right where you left off on your iPad at bedtime.

Auto-night theme.

If you’re reading in low light on your iPad or iPhone, iBooks for iOS automatically switches to white-on-black text on your screen. When the light improves, iBooks automatically switches back.

And the definitions.

Use your finger as a highlighter when you’re reading a book on your iOS device or Mac. Just swipe over the selected text (using the trackpad on your Mac), and it’s highlighted. Tap a highlighted section and a palette appears. Change colors, switch to underline, or add a note instantly. Then switch to the Notes view to see all your notes and highlights instantly organized in one place, making it a cinch to search or go back to the highlighted sections of your book. When you take notes or highlight passages, iCloud pushes them to all your devices automatically. And it remembers which page you’re on, so you can pick up right where you left off.

Share quotes on Facebook or Twitter.

Maybe you’re reading a hilarious take on family that’s spot on about yours. Or you come across a fact that supports the premise of your thesis. All you know is, you have to share it. With iBooks, you can share the perfect phrase directly from the page on Facebook or Twitter. You can also send a snippet via text or email.

Put PDFs in your library.

In addition to keeping all your books in one place, iBooks keeps track of your PDF files, too. User guides, business proposals, project plans — put them all in your iBooks library for easy access. When someone emails you a PDF, you can save it to iBooks. Then go to your library and tap to open it.

Multi-Touch books for iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

Experience the most amazing books you’ve ever read. These books take advantage of everything you can do on your iPad, iPhone, or Mac. They’re capable of Multi‑Touch, audio, video, and more. With Multi-Touch books, you’re no longer limited to flat images on paper. Flick or swipe through a photo gallery. Use a finger to rotate a 3D object. Watch animations spring to life. Or listen to audio commentary. You can find Multi‑Touch books — including iBooks Textbooks — in the iBooks Store. Browse categories like Food and Cooking, Arts and Entertainment, Travel, and more. Each title is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. And it’s something you won’t want to put down.

Shop iBooks.

The iBooks Store features over 2.5 million books and counting — many of them free. View what’s featured on iBooks, check out the New York Times best-seller lists, or browse by title, author, genre, or collection. Find a book you like and tap to see more details, peruse reviews, even read a free sample. Purchase a book and it downloads to your library, ready to read.

Out with the old edition. In with the new.

Books — especially textbooks — get updated for any number of reasons. Thankfully, the iBooks app supports book updates. That means if a book you purchased is republished with new or additional content, iBooks lets you know. You can download the updated version free, and it automatically replaces the older copy in your library.

Maps

A destination unto itself.

Now you’ve got the whole world on your desktop. Get information on local points of interest like restaurants and hotels, with phone numbers, photos, and Yelp reviews. You can look up transit, driving, or walking directions on your Mac and send them to your iPhone for voice navigation on the way. Navigating with Maps is incredibly smooth and responsive, and you get gorgeous views using Flyover, a photo-realistic, interactive 3D experience that lets you soar high above select cities.

Contacts

Bring all your people together. And take them with you everywhere.

Contacts is a flexible and convenient place to store information for everyone you know. It’s easy to import names, numbers, addresses, and photos from Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, and even Microsoft Exchange. Contacts will automatically keep your friends’ and connections’ information and profile photos up to date. And iCloud updates your contacts on your Mac, iOS devices, and Apple Watch — so when you enter someone’s contact info once, you have it everywhere.

Reminders

Set it and you won’t forget it.

You’ll never forget a task again with Reminders. Remind yourself to call a friend on a certain date and time, or to pick up the dry cleaning on the way home from work. You can set reminders to repeat at any interval you want. Create a reminder from almost anywhere in OS X from the Share menu, including a Safari web page, a contact, or an email. And with iCloud, reminders that you set on your Mac are available on your iOS devices and vice versa.
