Apple recently launched a new “Manuals, Technical Data and Downloads” support section on its website. There are various guides and useful information on different types of devices and their operating systems. Various software that Apple offers or has once offered for its devices is also displayed. The new offering serves as a good starting point for exploring various devices, old and new. However, there are still a few points that could be improved.
TL; DR: Click here to go directly to the overview of the documentation
Chapter in this post:
Helpful documents for Mac, iPhone, Watch and Co.
In the German version of the new documentation overview you can currently find these individual areas, which can be accessed by clicking on them: Mac, iPad, iPhone, Watch, AirPods, Apple TV, HomePod, iPod, Displays, Accessories and Software. There is still one space available in the two rows of choices. This one will in the US version of the site through the one introduced in February Vision filled. As soon as the VR glasses are available in Germany, they should also appear in the overview shown.
From the latest hardware, which is not yet available worldwide, but apart from that there is also information about quite old devices, their software and suitable accessories. From PowerPC Macs, PowerBooks and iBooks to old iLife, iWork and similar apps to AirPort, Time Capsule and DisplayPort to VGA adapters, everything is included. In addition to general information about the old hardware, you will also receive an overview of the technical data and documents such as: B. Installation manuals and software such as firmware, drivers and operating systems are offered.
The offer could be made more inviting
In my opinion, the offer lacks a few explanatory texts that could make it easier for newbies to use. Anyone who is already familiar with the Apple cosmos will certainly find their way around quickly. But if you are just getting familiar with the first Apple device or are exploring the retro area for the first time Legacy Macs If you venture forward, you have to laboriously collect the relevant information. For example, Macs could have a list of the Mac OS, OS X or macOS versions that can be used with them.
