My lord. Nothing is worth the pain, no matter how earth-shattering the new features are. I choose a working 17.7 every day.

Every year I wait until .2 and then read the news here to decide whether to move to the new major version for my personal devices.

At work, a very large government education department, they even delay many Apple point releases. It’s tightly controlled.
If you use your device for work, then that’s exactly what you should be doing. If it’s a Mac, always keep a backup prior to upgrading in case you need to downgrade.

I guess I've been (sorta) lucky. My M4 Pro took 18.0 weeks/ no problems; my Wife's M4 Pro is stuck on 17.7 but, at least it didn't brick. They suggest wiping the iPad and resetting, but, with my luck it would brick. I think I'll just wait on Apple. Maybe Apple will hurry up.

I'm totally late to the party, just heard about this today after searching why I had no 18 in the update section (M4 13"). Well, at least I didn't try it sooner and end up with a vegetable cutting board. 😗
