Thank you for the brief introduction Clarence, so let’s move on sa
History ng MacOS:
MacOS has come a long way since it first came out, and ngayon, kilala na ito as one of the most efficient, sleek, and user-friendly operating systems.
Let’s break down kung paano naging ganito ang MacOS over the years.
Classic MacOS1 to MacOS9 (1984 to 1999):
So, nagsimula lahat noong 1984 with the original Macintosh computer. The first version ng MacOS, na tinatawag na System Software (later known as
MacOS), super basic pa. Ginamit siya sa first-ever Macintosh 128k, yung pinaka-early na Mac. Habang tumatagal, nag-evolve yung system from
System Software hanggang MacOS9, pero kung i-compare mo sa ngayon, sobrang simple pa lang talaga.
This era was all about simplicity, so hindi pa complicated yung interface. Makikita mo na yung focus ni Apple sa pagiging user-friendly. Pati yung
graphics nila, kung i-compare mo sa mga other operating systems na puro command-line pa noon, super advanced na.
Pero, by the late ‘90s, medyo outdated na yung MacOS and needed a big update.
OS X Cheetah to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (2001 to 2012):
Noong 2001, nag-release na si Apple ng Mac OS X (basically “Mac OS Ten”), at dun nag-umpisa yung malaking pagbabago. Mula sa old MacOS,
nag-shift si Apple to a new system based on UNIX, and this was a game changer. The new OS X Cheetah was way more stable and efficient
compared sa previous versions, and mas magaan yung multitasking.
One of the coolest parts about OS X was yung naming scheme nila. Hindi na lang numbers, kundi mga pangalan ng "big cats" like Cheetah, Panther,
and Tiger. Yung each version niya nagdala ng new features and major improvements. Nag-introduce din sila ng Aqua interface na sobrang clean,
translucent, at may soft edges—super nice for its time!
Over the years, Apple kept improving OS X, introducing more advanced features like Spotlight (for quick search), Time Machine (for backups), and
Mission Control (to organize apps and windows). Sa panahon ng Leopard, Snow Leopard, at Lion, MacOS became known for its smooth
performance and solid security.
MacOS Mavericks to MacOS Sequoia (2013 to 2024):
In 2013, nagbago ulit si Apple ng style. Instead of the "big cat" names, they started naming MacOS versions after places in California, like OS X
Mavericks. This era was all about streamlining the system and improving battery life, performance, and overall user experience.
With Mavericks, Yosemite, at El Capitan, super smooth na yung MacOS. Nag-focus si Apple sa speed, efficiency, at sa paggawa ng interface na mas
sleek and modern. Para kasing ang linis ng design, bagay na bagay sa mga MacBooks at iMacs na lumabas around that time.
In 2016, Apple officially dropped the "OS X" name and started calling it MacOS with MacOS Sierra. Ginawa nila ‘to para consistent na sa pangalan
ng mga operating systems nila like iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
Since then, MacOS kept getting better, with new features like Siri, Apple Pay, and enhanced security. By 2020, MacOS was fully optimized na for
Apple’s new Apple Silicon chips (like M1 and M2), making Macs faster, more energy-efficient, and even more powerful. Ang pinaka-latest ngayon
na version is MacOS Sequoia (2024), and it just keeps pushing the boundaries.
In Summary:
From 1984, nung nagsimula lahat with the original Macintosh, hanggang sa ngayon, MacOS has evolved a lot. Apple has always focused on
improving it to be faster, smoother, and more user-friendly. Ang daming changes sa design, features, and performance—pero ang MacOS ngayon is
super solid na for both professionals and casual users. Naging mas reliable, secure, at sleek over the years, kaya naman naging go-to operating system
na siya ng marami.
