Leave the epochal changes to the young guys. Today, the Mac is the eldest platform, and macOS needs to focus on stability and productivity. With iOS, watchOS, and tvOS all around, the freshly renamed macOS no longer serves the role of scrappy upstart. Each of these has its place in the new age Apple ecosystem. Each of these is its own platform, running its own operating system. It was long ago pushed aside by the iPod, then the iPhone and iPad, and now even a watch and a TV box.
These days, Apple is a very different company than it was when OS X made its debut. Let’s all cross our fingers and hope that that’s true, because the bottom line is that OS 11 isn’t needed anymore. Since the mystical OS 11 didn’t come in the aftermath of the last big cat, didn’t come on the heels of version 10.9, and now again hasn’t come to usher out OS X, it’s starting to look like it may never come at all. The full title for the 2016 iteration of the Mac operating system: macOS 10.12 Sierra. This year, with OS X finally seeing the end of its reign, will we be seeing another epochal change in Mac history?Īfter a decade of mispronounced Roman numerals, Apple is ready to let go of the name, but not the number. This would of course be a change on a massive scale, such as that between OS 9 and OS X was over a decade ago. The end of OS X has been long rumored, and the expectation has often been for the Mac to move to whatever Apple chooses to name their OS 11.
#Macos sierra for dummies upgrade
The first thing that may catch the eye of many looking to upgrade their Mac this year is the demise of the classic ‘OS X’ moniker.
