The latest version of Apple's macOS operating system, macOS High Sierra, has been released. If you have upgraded your system already, how did the upgrade go? Did you encounter any problems? If you have not yet updated, why have you chosen not to?

    I skipped Sierra, because my wife and I were not yet ready to drop iPhoto for the inferior Photos. Now that High Sierra includes massive improvements to Photos, we should be good to go.

    More importantly, High Sierra offers a 'fix' to the issue of iTunes removing the ability to download iOS apps for syncing to iDevices. The Mac can now hold a cache of downloaded Apple content (e.g. App Store apps) that are downloaded from the Mac when any device on your network requests it. Great for when you have to update multiple iDevices. This will also make the iOS 11 upgrade across 2 phones and 3 iPads (family) a lot faster.

    Ars Technica has a fairly good review [arstechnica.com] as usual.
