[Scary Spice]

Hope this one improves the battery life, I have charged my phone 3 times today !!

Not sure how better battery life on your MacBook will result in longer times between charging your phone.

There was a time where news of an OS update would be greeted with universal acclaim. Now it gets two dozens comments. Makes me wonder if this site is really AppleRumors.com instead of macrumors.com.

A beta, one of several, gets a decent amount of discussion. Not really sure what else is expected.

Let's be glad that Apple give us updates, with new stuff and bug-fixes. Oké it's sometimes inconvinient to update again. But who doesn't want to have the latest, best etc. And of course new Emoji's.

 

[malexandria]

proud of myself. for the first time I didn't jump on the latest and greatest software upgrade. There's no compelling reason to go up to Sierra.

Who really cares about Emojis on a computer that's supposed to be used by Pros?

There are few other changes aside from the addition of new emoji, [...]

Nowadays, new Emojis get the main spotlight. MR and Apple: Please focus on what really matters most!

Apple has also updated the artwork on many existing emoji, adding detail and making them look less cartoonish and more realistic.

So happy that macOS updates prioritize to important issues.

It's not like other things get worked on. Just because emoji's seem to get more attention, because it's easy essentially, doesn't mean that they are likely one of the smaller things that get updated.

Where's the Moose emoji? I need a Moose emoji!!!!

So when will 10.12.2 be released?

The monitor on the eGPU still goes irreversibly black after 2 cycles of Heaven.

Maybe OSX needs to be optimised for SMR (even if hybrid).

 

[Fangio]

So when will 10.12.2 be released?

Chances are, on a tuesday. Although not even that is written in stone anymore.

My guess would probably be Tuesday, December 6 or 13.
