Performance is virtually identical, at least on an up-to-date MacBook Pro (13-inch). On the other hand, that means no sea-changes to your existing workflows, and some nice quality-of-experience enhancements if you're a big user of those applications. Instead, you get new features such as Safari's autoplay blocking, the ability to edit iPhone's Live Photos in Photos, and really fast file copying on SSDs.
That's largely the case with MacOS 10.13, otherwise known as High Sierra.įor the most part, don't expect jaw-dropping changes or totally new interfaces.
Now that they're free, operating system updates are often just as much about fixing the underlying plumbing of a device as they are about adding new and notable features. Photos in High Sierra now has all the adjustment tools easily accessible on the side panel.
