Apple Releases macOS Catalina 10.15.7 With Fixes for WiFi Bug, 27-Inch iMac Graphics Issues

[Corsig]

Totally wasn’t expecting this. Such a large update, gonna take forever

 

[MisterAndrew]

Awesome. Wasn't expecting this!

 

[StellarVixen]

Does Mojave support end when Big Sur is released?

No, but High Sierra will. Mojave will be unsupported when 11.1 comes out.

 

[chipsandsalsa]

Wonder if they'll fix the issue with integrated graphics not fully coming out of sleep mode speed and staying in low power. Bug has been around forever in MBPs with only a reboot fixing it. Heres to hoping!

 

[Jeff Faulkner]

Well, this is definitely a [welcome] surprise for me and my 2012 MacBook Pro. 🥳

I have a mid 2012 MBP also, I wonder if this is the last OS update we'll see?

No, High Sierra will however

 

[MacLawyer]

Great graphic, MacRumors! 😂

 

[jezbd1997]

Yeah, it seems pretty big for a "supplemental" update! Apple really need to fix the size of their downloads - we have slow internet here in the middle of the countryside and with 4 machines to update we'll probably be here until Big Sur is release and then have to start all over again

Why are you not downloading the dmgs from https://support.apple.com/downloads ?
One download for each Mac...

 

[kofman13]

when are they gonna fix the bug that doesnt let me run 32 bit programs lmao smh

 

[jezbd1997]

Why would you download the update more than once?

Wondering this too as supposedly they are a MR staff member... would think they know how to download dmgs from Apple support downloads

If all the rumors from Mark Gurman, Jon Prosser, and L0vetodream are to be believed, we still have two more Apple events. One in October for the iPhones, AirPods Studio, and AirTags. And one in November for new ARM Macs.
If this is true, that could possibly mean that Big Sur won’t launch until November.
Personally, I hope this is true. An extra month of beta testing for this big of an update can’t hurt anything. Wait until it’s fully ready for public consumption.
And please, apple, no matter what you do, give developers more than one day to update their apps.
As for Catalina, as this is the cut off point for several 2012 and 2013 Macs, I don’t think 10.15.7 Will be the last release.

 

[Lounge vibes 05]

No, but High Sierra will. Mojave will be unsupported when 11.1 comes out.

Do you think it’ll be called 11.1? I was under the assumption that they would just up the number every year. So next year would be 12.0

 

[sunman42]

First-ing? Really? And you weren't even first lol.

I'm gonna speculate that this release probably means Big Sur is still a ways out. Like late Oct or early Nov time frame.

Presumably, Big Sur is going to be released when the first Apple silicon machine(s) is (are) released. Judging by the Late 2013 Mac Pro and the iMac Pro, "before the end of the year" means sometime in December (in the case of the Mr. Fusion Mac Pro, December 21 iirc).

From your keyboard to Tim Apple's ears on this one...

Could be, we really don't know at this point. I just said it purely because that has been the case so far.

 

[Hey Thomas]

Probably it's too early, but I am a bit excited right now. I have just installed 10.15.7 and I cannot reproduce the flickering on my Mac Pro 2013 with dual D500 graphic cards, yet. I know the newest update is supposed to fix the graphical glitches, which looks to be the same as with my Mac Pro, for the new iMac 27".

I am eager to hear from you all. 😀

macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2)
September 24, 2020
2.84 GB

19H2, that’s unusually short and small.

Just checked the version history of macOS, this is the first time with only 1 digit after the alphabet.

Let's take it a step further and stop the forced yearly rush release of MAC OS software just because IOS does it.

I much preferred the bi yearly major updates.

Agree, however, I do think that Big Sur is necessary. But let’s stay on big serve for a while.
Big Sur should last until 2022.

 

[PBG4 Dude]

This is great news. Psyched the white lightning issue has been addressed. Can‘t wait to update.

 

[Mr. Dee]

They should release a 10.15.8 next with 32 bit software compatibility fix.

 

[iJon]

I hope this fixes the crashing issues that I started having with my Thunderbolt 2 Display once 10.15.6 came out, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why would one use this instead of the updater?

 

[BuCkDoG]

I have 10.15.7 installed and I have not seen the white line in over an hour. Great stuff Apple!

It’s probably a renamed version of the beta they put out a few weeks ago. 9to5Mac reported it as being publicly available but it was only ever intended for developers.
