Births in the Chinese mainland fell by 3.5 per cent to 17.23 million last year Nike Air Max TN Plus UK , the China Daily reported on Friday, citing figures from the country's statistics bureau.


The fall in the number of births in 2017 came despite a 2016 move to relax the "one-child policy" and allow all couples to have a second child. The loosening of the restrictions came amid concerns about the country's rapidly aging population.


China Daily cited a spokesman with China's family planning commission as saying that the drop last year was down to the smaller number of women of fertile age and the growing number of people delaying marriage and pregnancy.


The decline came as a surprise, but the figure was still higher than the average number of births in the five previous years, the newspaper said.


According to figures published by the China Association of Social Security last year, China's elderly population is expected to reach 400 million by the end of 2035, up from around 240 million now Nike Air Max Flair UK , putting the country's health and social care services, as well as its pension funds, under increasing strain.


China's National Health and Family Planning Commission said earlier this month that average life expectancy in China reached 76.5 years last year, up from 74.83 years in 2010.

Apple's Mac operating system will have easier ways to share and search, while the iOS software for iPhones and iPads is getting new features for keeping tabs on your health and controlling home devices.


Apple executive Craig Federighi said data from various fitness-related devices now live in silos, so you can't get a comprehensive picture of your health. He said that will change with HealthKit in iOS 8. Apple is also working with the Mayo Clinic to make sure your weight Nike Air Max 2018 UK , calorie intake and other health metrics are within healthy ranges.


Apple is also making it easier for various devices to work together, even though the Mac and mobile systems are separate. You can share songs, movies and books you purchase with your entire family, and you can sync photos more easily across several devices. Macs and mobile gadgets will share more features, and you can exchange files between the two more easily and even make phone calls from your Mac.


The free updates will come this fall, though app developers get a test version Monday as the company opened its 25th annual developers conference in San Francisco.


Here are the highlights:


CHANGES TO MAC COMPUTERS:


— The next Mac system will be called Yosemite Air Presto High Ultra Flyknit UK , after the national park, now that Apple is naming it after California locales rather than cats.


— You'll be able to search for content on the computer and on the Internet at once, similar to a feature available with Microsoft's Windows 8.


— Apple is expanding its iCloud storage service so that you can store and sync files of any type, not just the ones designed specifically for iCloud. It's similar to how other services such as Dropbox let you work with the same files on multiple devices more easily.


— A Mail Drop feature will make it easier to send large files. Instead of pushing the entire file by email and overloading mail servers, the Mac will create a link that the recipient can click for the full file.


— The Mac's Safari Web browser will have more privacy controls and ways to share links more easily.


CHANGES TO IPHONES AND IPADS:


— Like the new Mac OS, the iOS 8 system will have a universal search tool to cover both your device and the Internet. It will also get the iCloud Drive service.


— The new software will sport interactive notifications Nike Air Max 95 Womens UK , so you can respond to a message without having to leave another app. It will have new gestures, such as double tapping to see a list of frequent contacts.


— A QuickType keyboard promises predictive typing suggestions. For example, if you start typing, ""Do you want to go to,"" the phone will suggest ""dinner"" or ""movie"" as the next w.
