Apps and features will be easier to navigate, especially in Photos, and Siri is getting an overhaul designed to let it understand users better as well as speaking less robotically. The updated operating system will also bring a new version of the Metal API (designed to make games run faster), a new sidebar and editing tools in the Photos app, and will allow developers to create interactive virtual reality experiences on Macs. Mac OS High Sierra will deliver a number of new features to Mac computers, including a new Apple File System (it replaces the old one, called HFS Plus), which will streamline chores like duplicating files and finding specific ones. Unlike recent macOS, High Sierra and earlier versions can’t be installed directly from the Software Update pane in the Mac menu. To run it, you’ll need a MacBook or iMac computer released in late 2009 or newer, a MacBook Pro, Mac Mini or Mac Pro released mid-2010 or newer, a MacBook Air released in late 2010 or newer, or an iMac Pro released in 2017.

MacOS High Sierra will work with these computersĪpple’s new macOS High Sierra operating system has the same requirements as macOS Sierra: it’s compatible with Apple computers introduced in either late 2009, mid-2010 or later.
