Sequoia

Anyone installed it yet? I have, not yet, seen a few posts in different places of people having problems, so if i do decide to install it will not be for a while.
Also depends on how Apple do their AI

Yep.

No issues. iPhone mirroring is quite handy, and they have finally put a little thought into the organisation of the Settings app. Most of it is under the hood by the looks - obviously the biggee will be Apple Intelligence in 18.1.

I don't have a iPhone and I doubt I ever will, so the mirroring part I will never use and to be honest it is a thing I would not use.

There are a couple of things that look interesting, Apple Intelligence is not one of them and I expect I would disable it.
I will wait until at least next year I think and see what happens.

But thanks anyway

Apple Intelligence in 18.1.

15.1 for macOS. (18.x is for iPhone/iPad).

Why Apple can't align the version numbers is annoying...

The Mac and Apple Watch versions are misaligned to others (iPhone,iPad,AppleTV,HomePod).

Duh! Yes.

It's about time they got their numbers in sync!

No problems here. My M2 Pro Mini seems even more responsive and my wife’s iMac M3 really flies.

Some useful new features and an improved System Settings menu.

Still think that the iOS-ification of System settings was a mistake. Hanging on for a few more days before upgrading.

As with so many "innovations", I have my doubts is I'll use them.

Nothing I've seen so far in the System Settings seems to cause a problem, most of which can be left at the default settings unless you really want to change something.

I should have picked that as well, but I am still newish here

What do you mean iOS-ification of System settings? I presume it is more lie IOS,

a friend of mine has had Macs for years, since the IMac G3, and she said a few years ago about Mac OS or OSX as it was then, starting to look more like a phone OS than a computer OS.
Being pretty new to owning a Mac, it is all of a muchness to me. My friend has a Mac pro trashcan and I remember the OS looked a fair bit different to what I use now, she said it all went down hill with Sierra. The last time we chatted, she was looking at getting a new Mac, but will wait and see what comes out this year. It's done well, that trashcan.

Anyway, as for Sequoia, it looks like it has some good features, like you, I am sure there will be a lot I will not use, the Window tiling could be useful, be more like I am used to in Windows.

The new password app seems useful at first, but then I look at it again and while it works in windows, you need to use the Apple Id or account or what ever they are calling it now and I it is also not available on Android or Linux, so I will be staying with Bit Warden.

The AI stuff is certainly not for me, I don't see myself having any need for it and not sure if I would trust it.

I used to be pretty quick to update to new operating systems, when new windows came out I updated as soon as i could until it came to Windows 10 and I slowed down a bit. But with all the stuff that gets added to them these days, I like to play safe
