Don’t Install macOS High Sierra Unless You Love Problems

Apple released iOS 11, iOS 11.0.1 and macOS High Sierra in September bringing new features to your iPhone, iPad and Mac. All of these free updates are also very likely to annoy you, prevent you from getting work done and break things you use every day.

While we haven’t seen a bricked iPhone or Mac from iOS 11 or macOS High Sierra yet, we’ve lost a lot of productivity dealing with bugs, problems and other issues during the last week that are frustrating to a tech expert, and likely very aggravating to a regular user.

Do you like problems and love being annoyed? if so install macOS High Sierra today.

These include awful battery life, incredibly bad iOS 11 performance on the iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 11, Apple HomeKit deciding to randomly flash all the lights in our house for 15 minutes and most recently a 2016 MacBook Pro that cannot properly render webpages, connect to external displays properly or even show something other than a gray screen on the laptop without three restarts. Our Apple TV is even deciding that tvOS 11 is a good excuse to crash and need rebooted.

After three months and countless betas you’d expect a system that mostly works, but this time around Apple’s iOS and macOS updates bring too many problems. There’s no need for a macOS High Sierra review when the most basic things like showing content on a screen can’t be counted on reliably.

Even if you are excited about the new macOS High Sierra features, there are too many issues in this series of releases to recommend that the average user upgrade to either of these services until Apple is able to fix these problems.

You can downgrade from macOS High Sierra to macOS Sierra if you want a reliable computer system until Apple fixes this, but you are better off not upgrading to macOS High Sierra at all.
