Apple Releases macOS Sierra With Siri, Apple Pay, Apple Watch Unlock, Universal Clipboard, and More

[schlaufox]

So I'm still using Mavericks on my 2012 Mac mini, if I update will it update to El Captian or Sierra?

You should be able to update straight to Sierra.

already running stable but i found no option to use APFS File System, even in recoverymode no option to change or format the ssd.

It is not getting released until next year

i think that option still not available until next year, maybe i'm wrong, i just started downloading. one things is for sure you can't boot the os using that option, so it only works for secondary non bootable drives. that was the last time i checked

I've been using sierra since the initial beta release, and the transition was nothing at all like El Capitan. It's not glitchy, it's seems more stable and secure, and I personally haven't experienced many issues. So if you're on Yosemite I can understand the hesitation, but for El Capitan - I see no reason not to upgrade. It's not like the last 2 times.

It's not available until later on, not ready for the launch.

Yeah.. think I'll let you all test it until tomorrow

 

[TheSteves]

Go get it!!!

I installed it and now have 30GB more free on my ssd. Not sure why. Happy but a bit worried.

So is MacOS Sierra going to slow down my MBA like iOS 10 slowed-down my 6+?

Maybe I'm getting old but these updates down't excite as much as they used to.

Or maybe this update just doesn't have anything to get excited about.

Build number?

A323

 

[Martyimac]

I can't believe noone has checked this yet.

I should be able to report shortly.

 

[GIZBUG]

macOS 10.12 (16A323) GM was released a few days ago. This the same build?

 

[garaig]

GM is 4.72 GB, the "normal" Sierra is 4.77...

 

[Nunyabinez]

We can help you with that, if you want?

Actually, not with a MP prior to 4,1. The CPUs are missing a key set of instructions. Hopefully, Netkas will figure out how to extract it and emulate it, but keeping an older MP running is reaching the point now where the hack to make it run is so convoluted that I for one am going to stick with El Cap.

while I agree, I cannot bother reinstalling every piece of software and corresponding plug ins, recalibrating preferences and so on and so forth.

Aha, I don't do half the stuff on my Mac that you seem to do.

 

[rjohnstone]

Been running the betas on my 11" Macbook Air and my iMac. No issues with either at all.
I'd say the Air actually got a little bit faster, and the iMac slowed down a bit.

 

[WRONG]

Are there some Macs hidden in it?
If not, I'm not going to download it.

 

[L-U-R-C-H]

Just wish the auto unlock feature could be used with the iPhone. Guess they need another incentive to buy an Apple watch. I'm sure the next MacBooks will have the ability to auto unlock with an iPhone... which if that does end up being the case, will make a lot of people upset.

 

[jonnysods]

Weird. It's not showing up for me in the app store.
