IMO, one of the major improvements of APFS is the Snapshot feature. The article also explains shortly why a HFS successor was overdue, but above all it describes in a pretty readable way the advantages of APFS (and it critically also points out the shortcomings, as least as of 2016). If still in doubt: update to the current version (not the beta). Usually they don’t, and issues tend to be hyped. Especially in the latter one you’ll find hints, if an update poses major problems.Īlways up to you to judge if the potential issues outweigh the benefits. But I wouldn’t swear on it.)īut, before updating, check the Mac user forums, the user forums of specific apps (like this one), and the developer forum. (Usually, if the thing is important, it is also applied to legacy OS versions. One reason for that are the security patches, which are first and foremost applied to the current version. On macOS I would always update to the current OS version (not to the beta). (Maybe the latter has been true also before, not sure, but I converted my external HDs only now (with Mojave) to APFS.) Otherwise, I think the major improvement is the update of APFS, which now works with Fusion Drives, and all external hard disks, i.e. If you like Dark Mode, it’s a no-brainer, likely.

Haven’t read all the posts here, but in my experience: Should I upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra or Mojave I would love to be able to put High Sierra on it, but Apple won't let me. I tried several times to download it on my 2014 MacBook Pro running Yosemite, and every time, got only the stub app. It seems that for some Macs, the stub app was required to install firmware or other updates before installing the OS update. My, and many others' attempts to download the High Sierra installer (see forums) resulted in downloading only a stub app, which when run would then download the full installer.This is their standard behavior when issuing new macOS releases. Lots of good advice here about updating or waiting.īut if you do decide to update your El Cap installation and haven't already managed to download the High Sierra installer* or can't get a copy of the installer from a trusted source, Apple has already decided for you what to update to: when they released Mojave, they removed High Sierra from the App Store.
