Some say that the update is essential in order to get a complete set of security fixes, but it's not like Apple is going to keep Sierra unpatched. Yes, if you answer any of these affirmatively: However, because the vulnerability is said to affect High Sierra and previous versions of MacOS, waiting to update won't make you any safer. That's really important if you work with video and other massive-file generating tools.Īpple did not provide a timeline for a possible fix. File moves are instantaneous under both High Sierra and Sierra, but copies of large files (like a 4.3GB ISO image) are instantaneous on AFS, the updating disk file system that's now default for anyone who doesn't have a Fusion drive or an old spinning hard drive.
Performance is virtually identical, at least on an up-to-date MacBook Pro (13-inch). On the other hand, that means no sea-changes to your existing workflows, and some nice quality-of-experience enhancements if you're a big user of those applications. Instead, you get new features such as Safari's autoplay blocking, the ability to edit iPhone's Live Photos in Photos, and really fast file copying on SSDs. That's largely the case with MacOS 10.13, otherwise known as High Sierra.įor the most part, don't expect jaw-dropping changes or totally new interfaces. Now that they're free, operating system updates are often just as much about fixing the underlying plumbing of a device as they are about adding new and notable features. On the bright side, their clunky old HD-bound Mac with feet of clay will then seem like a whole new machine.Photos in High Sierra now has all the adjustment tools easily accessible on the side panel.
They will in all likelihood have to put in a support call, go through all the scripted troubleshooting procedures with the help desk tech, then have them book an appointment at certified repair shop and be prepared to pay 4 or $500 or to get the thing fixed (and the drive replaced with an SSD).
I would advise them to just let do its thing for a few days, but that of course would be ridiculous. The confusing black screen can sit like that for several hours (maybe even 12+) while the clunky old drive chugs away quietly as the owner pulls their hair out and thinks their machine has died. They won't turn on, because they're still running. old 27" iMac (2019) that came with the slowest, worst hard drive you can imagine for a modern computer, and which was "bricked" by a Big Sur update, but has been since upgraded to a 2TB SSD, I can nearly guarantee these old Macs are not in fact bricked, but are just taking many, many hours to complete the upgrade.
