Apple's "Handoff" -- one of the key new features of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite -- will work only on newer Macs that support Bluetooth 4.0 and the Bluetooth LE (low energy) technology, according to an Apple engineering manager.

 

While Apple didn't mention Handoff requirements when it unveiled the feature at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) earlier this month, a developer-only session there made it clear that Bluetooth LE is necessary.

Otherwise a significant hit on battery life with the older iOS devices, for sure. ;)

Ugly. They have redesigned the dock, replacing the stunning icons with what looks like Windows Metro Icons. Unbelievable. The basic 1995 look is coming back to Apple too.

Yeah. Sad.

 

I'll get used to it, but like the ones on Microsoft's OSes, I won't like it. ;)

The change from the icons in Mavericks are minimal. Granted, the icons are always tweaked a bit with each release. If you compare Snow Leopard to Mavericks, they are pretty different.
