Apple highlighted its latest operating system for Macs, called Yosemite, which has been made available in the Apple Store today.

It also includes a new toolbar in the Safari browser, which Apple said will be faster.
Also during today's event, CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple Pay will launch Monday. Apple Pay uses iPhones to make credit and debit card payments at retail stores.
