Apple macOS (previously OS X and originally Mac OS X) is a proprietary operating system developed by Apple and shipped by default on Apple Macintosh computers. It succeeded Mac OS 9.[1]
Consumer-impact summary
User Freedom
Due to its nature of being a proprietary operating system, macOS has full access to a user's personal data and activities that are related to the device it is running on. It is also practically impossible to audit what the system is doing with full access to the user’s system.
User Privacy
Business Model
Due to exclusivity of macOS to Apple hardware, macOS is completely free and included with Apple’s MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Neo, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, iMac, and Mac Pro. While the operating system is free, it does come with exclusive applications like Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. With the addition of the Apple creator suite, these one-time-purchase applications (along with previously free application, such as pages and keynote) have become a subscription service.[2][3]
Market Share
macOS is a popular operating system in the desktop market. While Microsoft Windows’s popularity is in the majority. Mac OS X and macOS itself are in 2nd and 3rd place in popularity respectively.
