Apple is giving developers access to the beta version of OS X Yosemite now, and will let the public get in on the beta action some time this summer. The company tried out the public beta program with OS X 10.9.3, and now is ready to do the same with its next major Mac OS upgrade.
Apple to offer public beta of OS X Yosemite this summer
OS X Yosemite includes a redesigned flatter looking interface, the ability to mark up documents without special apps, jump between devices to work on documents automatically, use the Mac as a speaker phone for the iPhone, and more.
The beta will be available this summer, and the official release will come this fall. Apple will be offering OS X Yosemite as a free upgrade through the Mac App store.
Apple is still showing off new features, so be sure to continue checking in with The Mac Observer for our ongoing live event coverage.
