Apple's newest encryption tool better secures files on all its devices, just the latest in a move to widespread encryption in the tech industry

Apple revealed a slew of new software features for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and desktop computers on Monday - yet omitted an important new technology that will better protect customers' private data stored on Apple devices.

Apple File System, or APFS, is a new version of the technology Apple's products use to save and retrieve information, and improves the way information is organized and protected to make it faster and more secure.
