In the times of this global pandemic it has taken us some getting used to with the idea of “social distancing”. But have you any clue there’s someone who has been socially distancing himself since long now? In his class, there are only a few who can close the gap on him. We talk of the American giant who rules the world of technology like none other, Apple. Offering statement setting products whilst establishing a different appeal and sophisticated stature, Apple maintains distance with its competitors across globe. Especially known for the hassle free and smooth like melting butter experience it provides via the Mac OS. But, there’s a catch like we mentioned earlier. After you get accustomed to a glitch-free experience on all fronts, a little wayward experience in terms of slow down or odd behavior of files becomes dramatic.
