1. Soon(tm)
2. Metal2,APFS,dyld3, integrated machine learning frameworks
3. Everything
4. No idea, would be nice
5. High Sierra will take less space on new install, because of how APFS works. Actually, I am getting incredible space savings with my usage
6. I already upgraded
7. I don't think we will see substantial battery upgrades from High Sierra, maybe few minutes here and there
8. I doubt so, Apple unfortunately seems rather reluctant to bring macOS Messages up to date
9. That will still take some time
X. Yes

Can answer number 1 definitively: September 25.

1) already on they Apple official HS page.
2) I just want a more stable system. If new GPU driver (Vega) count as a new feature, then this is what I am looking for.
3) Mac Pro
4) Hopefully yes
5) Same as GM
6) Yes
7) I am using desktop
8) no, it require proper face detection
9) highly likely yes, and it's a good excuse to increase the price
X) not at this moment. I don't like Face ID, I don't like the black notch when watching video, I don't like round corner display, I don't like control centre from the top.

OK Fine but how will it sync with iPhone X?

 

[nutmac]

2. HEVC and HEIF for storage savings, Safari enhancements (auto play, reader mode), iCloud file sharing, type to Siri
3. MacBook Pro
6. Yes
7. Roughly the same
8. Probably not since effects still don't work
9. I think so
10. 50-50. I want it but I have 7 so I probably should wait for next year's X.

#1
1. When do you think it will be released?
A: 9.25th (I was hoping sooner but meh..)

2. What new features are you looking forward to?
A: HEVC def is the best feature I want HS for.

3. What system are you upgrading? (MB Pro, Mac Mini, iMac etc)
A: MBP

4. Will my iTunes movie purchased be view-able on my iMac in 4K?
A: That's the point.

5. How big in size capacity will it be?
A: Ah what?

6. Will you be upgrading the day it launches?
A: I'm already with the Beta, can't wait for the public release.

7. How much more battery life will be gained from High Sierra?
A: 7h?

8. Will Animoji work in High Sierra iMessage?
A: No FaceID on HS, no Animoji I guess.

9. Will future MacBook Pro's embed FaceiD?
A: Not so sure..

X. Will you be buying an iPhone X
A: Def not, it's ridicilous for that money.. and the ugly notch.

Now I have a Q: Why can't they just adapt MacBooks to use AppleTV as display.. I'm so frustrated.. also no TVap for MacBooks yet.. most of the games also not available as they're with iOS. Shame!

New iMac 27" - i7-ssd-575

Lot to learn about APFS and other performance enhancements for managing memory and speed of file access...

Don't understand a lot of the text stuff but get the feeling it's going to be a big performance improvement ?


Enjoy reading and learning from knowledgeable posters on here and using my iMac and MacBook Pro 13" 2015 and iPhone 7 Plus after 35 years of windoze...

They def need to get the iMessage effects onto mac

 

[redheeler]

2. What new features are you looking forward to?

Apple File System, Safari autoplay blocker, smoother WindowServer on Metal 2 (although I didn't notice a huge difference on my MBP).

4. Will my iTunes movie purchased be view-able on my iMac in 4K?

Now that is something I wonder as well.

6. Will you be upgrading the day it launches?

Already running the beta on my Retina MacBook Pro. For the 5K iMac, I am considering updating on launch day. Just hope that by then it will be perfected enough for use on my main Mac.

8. Will Animoji work in High Sierra iMessage?

They mentioned Animoji will be sent as a video, so probably. Not that I care even a little.

9. Will future MacBook Pro's embed FaceiD?

I think it'd be great for iMac. Probably have to wait until 2019 for it though. :/

X. Will you be buying an iPhone X?

I was a yes, but now... Undecided.
