macOS High Sierra, the new version of the macOS operating systems for Macs, will be released to the public on Monday, September 25, according to Apple’s macOS High Sierra website.<\/p>\n

That’s nearly a week after the iOS 11 and watchOS 4 release date, with those software updates coming on Tuesday, September 19.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Still, there’s a lot of useful stuff. Here’s what you can look forward to.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Howard Oakley<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I cannot understand why Apple wants to make High Sierra so unattractive at this late stage. Failure to offer APFS on Fusion Drives and hard disks indicates that High Sierra is being released before it is ready for much of the desktop Mac market. During the summer Apple recognised that APFS was not yet ready for use on hard disks, but has pressed ahead with its release regardless.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Lloyd Chambers<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Accordingly, MPG hereby raises that 3 month ‘wait’ recommendation to a full six months from here on in. That’s because (a) a change in file system is a major change with repercussions and (b) Apple cannot be trusted to respect users or their data or their workflow, with poor judgment seem repeatedly many times over in recent years. The name for this macOS release is apt.<\/p>\n

Remember, Apple ships on a calendar basis. Not<\/em> when requisite software quality is achieved—if the bar is too high, the bar is lowered and the software ships on schedule. This has been going on for years and now with iOS and macOS tied together with APFS and iCloud, it won’t stop—the iPhone drives all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2017-09-19): John Gruber<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I have all-flash drives in both my MacBook Pro and iMac, but I’m not in any hurry to switch to APFS. And since drives that can be updated are automatically updated to APFS when you update to High Sierra, I’m in no rush to update to High Sierra.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
