APFS, or Apple File System, is a file system developed by Apple Inc. specifically for use with its devices. Introduced in 2017, it is designed to optimize performance and security for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. APFS supports features like strong encryption, space sharing, and improved file management, making it suitable for modern storage needs. One of the key advantages of APFS is its ability to handle solid-state drives (SSDs) more efficiently than previous file systems. It allows for faster file access and better data integrity, ensuring that users can rely on their devices for quick and secure storage solutions.
