Recital of updates, we received during yesterday afternoon, and later to the Keynote in which Apple left us its brand-new iPhone SE and iPad Pro 9,7 ″, nothing more and nothing less than the final version of iOS 9.3, accompanied by tvOS 9.2 and watchOS 2.2. Of course, the operating system on which its famous Macs are based could not be missed, OS X 10.11.4 has reached the Mac App Store along with an important update of iTunes to its version 12.3.3 that makes it fully compatible with the iPhone SE and iPad Pro 9,7 ″, so We tell you all the news about OS X 10.11.4 and iTunes 12.3.3.
At the software level Apple has been working hard and well, implementing and optimizing all its versions of the operating system to make them work as they should. They have not lost a single moment, since all the betas that we have been following in recent months have ended up emerging this afternoon after Keynote. There are many of us who have our hopes pinned on these versions of Apple's firmware that seem to be meeting expectations more than, I have been following iOS 9.3 since its first beta, also using it, to attest that the system runs better than in previous versions .
OS X - El Capitan 10.11.4
The first of the novelties is the full compatibility with Live Photos in the iMessages application for OS X - El Capitan, until now it was one of the few Apple suites that was not optimized for this new vision of the photographs that Cupertino has wanted contribute to the world. Now the OS X Messages app - El Capitan is fully compatible with Live Photos, if not to throw them (that only the iPhone 6s and the iPhone SE can) if they will be able to view them without any problem on their Mac on duty.
The Notes application has also been correspondingly updated to match the Notes application that we find in iOS 9.3, we remember that it is fully available the possibility of encrypting our notes under a password, which will prevent these notes from being viewed by outside eyes. We remind you that it is important to update both operating systems, because those notes that we have blocked in iOS 9.3 we will not be able to see them in versions prior to OS X - El Capitan 10.11.4 and vice versa.
In addition, now we find that iBook has taken a qualitative leap, a function that many people were crying out for, and that is iCloud will synchronize between all our devices both .epub and PDF that we have in our library, to be easily accessed from any device.

iTunes 12.3.3
If what you were anxiously waiting for were improvements in Apple Music, you have to wait. That's right, this version of iTunes seems not to go much further than a simple optimization to work properly with new devices that add to the range of Apple products, such as the 9,7-inch iPad Pro and the iPhone SE.
In my experience the use of Apple Music in iTunes 12.3.3 remains exactly the same. In fact, in the same update notes they have only talked about this new adaptation to these devices. We are still waiting for Apple Music to change the interface to improve its performance, in the meantime, we will install this latest version in case it hides something more interesting.
