Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS Sierra 10.12.3 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming macOS Sierra 10.12.3 update to developers, just one day after releasing macOS Sierra 10.12.2 and almost three months after launching the macOS Sierra operating system.

macOS Sierra 10.12.3 is available for download through the Apple Developer Center or through the software update mechanism in the Mac App Store.

Because this is a first beta, we don't yet know what features are included in the update, but Apple's release notes say the 10.12.3 update "improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac." We'll update this post with any changes that are discovered in the beta.

Available since September, macOS Sierra is the latest Mac operating system. It includes Siri support, Apple Pay for the web, Universal Clipboard, Apple Watch auto unlocking, improved iCloud Drive integration, Picture-in-Picture multitasking, and dozens of smaller features that can be found in our macOS Sierra roundup.

Does it include a flat battery emoji ?

 

[talmy]

Maybe there will be new emojis!

If it's all the same, I think I'll hold off a while and see what's broken in 10.12.2 first because y'know..."It just works!"

Oh boy, cue emoji jokes.

Wait, too late

Who knows, maybe we'll get a Tim Cook emoji on it...

Ooh! I hope so! A smiling emoji when the machine's plugged in and a sad one when it's discharging. No other information allowed!

More like servicing update. When the article said "stability" it probably meant your transaction from buying stuff is stable.

Emoji jokes? Brilliant! /s

The average age around here has to be like 16, so no surprise there.

Will it brick my computer if I install it?

 

[andybno1]

[arefbe]

I'm waiting for the OS X 10.11.7 update. But then I like stability!

A "crying baby" emoji could come in real handy here.

The zoom sometimes doesn't work after the latest update. I have to restart. Does anyone know how to fix this without restarting?

What a year. I'm in no rush to upgrade, if you can call it that, to Sierra. Usually I upgrade at the .2 release. Sierra has been underwhelming. I've never skipped an OS but may do it this year. 10.11.6 is working great and I don't need the new emojis in messages. I don't trust iCloud syncing. Am I missing something?

After suffering mediocre battery on my 2016 15" with the prior betas I think I'm going to sit this one out. Yesterday's 10.12.2 update made battery life great for me on day one.

I am still waiting for Tim Cook emoji, for my Christmas messages

 

[retrospek]

OMG they have removed the time from the Apple Watch display ! Apparently we don't need to know the time...
