When the download has completed, you receive a notification indicating that High Sierra is ready to be installed.” Breaking. Apple will make the High Sierra upgrade available in the Mac App Store. Can I try the macOS High Sierra beta? If you are a developer, you can get a beta of macOS Sierra through the Apple Developer. Apple’s macOS 10.13 High Sierra launched two years ago now, and is obviously not the current Mac operating system – that honor goes to. But, because Mojave increased the system requirements by a significant margin, many people will be using macOS High Sierra for years to come. And, we’re not complaining. Over the years, macOS High Sierra has grown into one of the operating systems to date – even if it did run into some at launch. But, those launch problems are gone, so macOS High Sierra is a great operating system, and will be for years to come. But, beyond some time-saving photo editing tools and a whole new file system, macOS was initially criticized for just iterating on Sierra – much like Mountain Lion when it followed Lion. Still, just because the changes are relatively minor, doesn’t mean they aren’t numerous, so we’re going to explore everything there is to know about macOS High Sierra. Cut to the chase • What is it? The 2017 edition of Apple’s Mac operating system, macOS • When is it out? Available to install now • What will it cost? MacOS High Sierra is free to download.

However, it wasn’t until September 12 that Apple revealed that High Sierra would launch little more than a week later, on September 25. There was a developer beta of the operating system you could enroll in leading to the final release, but luckily, that’s no longer required to take advantage of macOS 10.13’s latest features. The final build of macOS High Sierra, 10.13.6 is available right now. Beside a few bug fixes, it integrates Airplay 2 into iTunes – though you will need to update iTunes to take advantage of it. You can download the update from the Mac App Store. Safari 12 is also available for macOS High Sierra users, which not only supports website icons in your tabs, but also has better security. Websites, for instance, won’t be able to track your specific Mac when using the native web browser. If you’re ready to jump to the next version of macOS, you can download macOS Mojave today. And, fortunately, we can show you. Image Credit: Apple macOS 10.13 High Sierra compatibility Luckily, because macOS High Sierra doesn’t really shake things up, the barrier to entry didn’t change. In fact, macOS High Sierra has much more lenient requirements than Mojave, so it should be popular for a while. As long as you're on one of the following Mac models, you can upgrade to macOS High Sierra (if you haven’t done so already). • Late 2009 or newer • Late 2009 /MacBook (Retina) or newer • Mid-2010 or newer • Late 2010 or newer • Mid-2010 or newer • Mid-2010 or newer • 2017 Bear in mind that if you want to take advantage of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) benefits posed by macOS High Sierra, you’ll need a Mac donning – at the very least – an Intel sixth-generation Skylake processor. Unfortunately, that discounts everything released prior to 2015, but on the bright side, everything else macOS High Sierra brings to the table is fair game. MacOS 10.13 High Sierra features Beyond the Hackintosh users being reasonably worried about the newly enforced security checks on EFI firmware automatically implemented each week, Apple has revealed a number of awesome new features with macOS 10.13 High Sierra. One of these is the new and improved Safari, which will no stop ad-tracking and auto-playing videos in their tracks, along with Spotlight Search in the Mail app. Mail also gets the ability to display a split view for the compose window – and to make it even better, it uses up to 35% less storage space. Photos also sees improvements, with a better sorting tool. This is thanks to a better layout, improved facial recognition via neural networks, and improved syncing across all Apple devices.
