Apple File System (ApFS)

ApFS is proprietary file system created by Apple to replace HFS+ as the primary storage architecture across its devices. Designed with modern storage needs in mind, APFS offers enhanced performance, security, and reliability. It supports features such as strong native encryption for data protection, space sharing for efficient storage management, and instant snapshots for quick backups and restore points. Additionally, APFS is optimized for Solid-state drive (SSD) and flash storage, providing faster data access and improved responsiveness. Its advanced architecture ensures data integrity through crash protection and seamless scalability, making it suitable for a wide range of Apple devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and desktops.
