Apple File System

Apple File System (APFS) is a storage technology used by Apple devices, like iPhones and Macs, to manage how files are saved and organized. Introduced in 2017, it enhances performance and security compared to previous systems. APFS uses space more efficiently, allowing for faster file access and better support for modern storage options like SSDs (solid-state drives). It features strong encryption to protect data and includes capabilities like snapshots, which let users save the state of their files at a specific moment, making it easier to recover from accidental changes or deletions.
