PSA: Update to 11.4 for much lower disk writes!

[Kung gu]

PSA: The SSD disk write issues have been fixed in 11.4 which came out today. The person who found the issue in first place says it was a result of a kernel bug and he also says 11.4 addresses the issue.
Update to 11.4 if your on M1 macs.
Users on this thread also report lower disk writes on 11.4.

Unless you would like to continue using all your iOS apps on your Mac. In that case stay on 11.2.3.

Anyone staying on 11.2.3 to keep your iOS apps?

Reasons: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, YoutubeTV, Youtube, SiriusXM, MLB are all better apps than their browser interface. Having Texttool 2 and a google voice client like GV Connect on the Mac is also awesome.

Doesn’t look like we’ll be enjoying any iOS apps on these m1 macs, developers have no interest in porting them over.

I imagine we'll see more as developers begin to update/optimize apps for the M1 iPad Pro.
