The Mac might have been a no-show at Apple's big event
today, which brought us the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, iPad
Pro , new Apple TV, and various Apple Watch updates, but
there was a sort-of-subtle announcement hidden amidst the
demos.
While showcasing the new 3D Touch (Force Touch) feature
on the iPhone 6s, we caught a glimpse of a staged email
between Apple execs Phil Schiller and Craig Federighi.
Titled "El Capitan status," the email from Phil read:
"El Capitan is looking great and the feedback from the beta
has been fantastic. I say we get it out to customers ASAP!"
The El Capitan ship date is September 30. " Emphasis
theirs, of course. And to add an extra wink to the news, it
added, "P.S. Apple Confidential and Super Secret" in bright
red lettering.
A late September launch is earlier than expected, given the
October release for the last couple OS X iterations, but it
looks like we'll have OS X 10.11 El Capitan ready to
download before the month's out. And maybe we'll see that
rumoured 4K refresh of the 21.5in iMac early too, if we're
lucky.
If you haven't been following the latest news about El
Capitan and didn't jump into the public beta test, read our
recent look at the five best new features found in OS X
10.11 - and go ahead and start backing up your Mac so
you're ready when 30 September hits.
