Siri produces different results from the results of queries typed into macOS's keyboard-based Spotlight.Limited gaming options compared with Windows.Some apps not yet updated for compatibility.High Sierra, Apple's newest version of the macOS desktop operating system does exactly what an operating system upgrade should do: It makes your system faster, safer, and more reliable, while adding some welcome but unobtrusive conveniences. It lets you use your system exactly as you did before, without climbing a learning curve. The biggest changes from macOS Sierra are invisible technical changes that go to the heart of your system-the file system that underlies everything on your disk. ![]() Apple does a superb job of making its new APFS file system fully compatible with the old one, so any app that can run on an HFS+ disk will also run on an APFS disk. That said, there are plenty of changes you can see too, most notably in the substantially updated Photos app. I tested High Sierra on a new 13-inch MacBook Pro and on my workhorse machine, a 13-inch MacBook Air, complete with all the apps I've accumulated over the past few years. I am surprised and impressed by how well everything runs, even on the older machine. Visible improvements in High Sierra include (as mentioned) major enhancements to the Photos app, such as seamless integration with third-party apps for advanced photo editing, and minor but significant enhancements to Mail, including a Top Hits display of searched messages and split-view message-composing when Mail is running full-screen. The Notes app adds tables and notes you can pin to the top of the list.Įven better than the upgrades you can see in other parts of High Sierra are the improvements in Safari that involve things that you won't see and sounds that you won't hear. Safari's new controls over browser tracking mean that you're less likely to see ads urging you to buy a product you looked at on a different site a few days ago-or urging you to buy something that you already bought. ![]()
