4 Reasons Not to Install macOS Big Sur 11.6.8 & 11 Reasons You Should

Apple’s macOS Big Sur 11.6.8 update could have a huge impact on your Mac’s performance. While some of you should install the firmware today, others might be better off waiting.

macOS Big Sur 11.6.8 is a small release with important security patches for Mac devices. It doesn’t have any known features or bug fixes on board.

That being said, those of you dealing with issues on macOS Big Sur 11.6.7, or older versions of macOS Big Sur, could see a huge turnaround after installing macOS Big Sur 11.6.8.

Of course, we’ve also heard about bugs and performance problems plaguing Mac users who decided to upgrade to Apple’s newest version of macOS.

If you install macOS Big Sur 11.6.8 on your Mac, and you run into issues, you can downgrade your computer’s software in an attempt to improve its performance. Unlike iOS and iPadOS, the macOS downgrade is always open.

If your Mac is currently running macOS Big Sur 11.6.7 or an older version of macOS, and you’re feeling leery about these issues, you might want to wait for more feedback about macOS Big Sur 11.6.8’s performance.

If you’re currently debating a move to macOS Big Sur 11.6.8, allow us to walk you through the best reasons to install the software today and the best reasons to hang around on whatever version of macOS your Mac is currently running for a little bit longer.
