I love these DEEP DIVES Rene. Everybody just repeats what Apple says in their Keynote, hardly anyone really thinks about smaller and bigger things at once and explains where we are headed.
Love the new tighter framing and lens choice, also really digging the mic included in the frame. So many nice subtle evolving touches since the first upload. Great episode too!
Drake & Drew I’m pretty sure That’s what’s going to happen, it’s going to match sun set and sun rise when the sun is down, dark mode. When it’s up, light mode.
Mojave's dark mode is a crowd pleaser that's a wanna-be rip-off of an indie app called Lights out. This app get *everything* dark if you want - including websites. Everything. You have granular control and can program it to switch gradually at different of the day. For my part, one of the only reason why I upgraded to Mojave was because of the dark mode, but it's buggy, and consider apps I purchased literally a few months ago as "legacy" and won't run them. I just did a lot of work to dual-boot Mojave and High Sierra creating an APFS fusion drive... *sigh* I guess I was wrong. The Appstore bug, I can't see my Safari extensions at all. I can't see my drive on the desktop (for whatever reason)... dual-monitor support (other than mirroring) is next to impossible, requires a hard-reset and is not a proper long-term fix... I mean Mojave is still in semi-beta mode to me! The dark mode and new gimmicks like automatic desktop cleaning just hide the fact that Apple don't have a solid grasp on APFS and their new architecture yet. I do not seem to have problem with Metal but I know users reported problems with mid-2012 MacBook Pro running a GTX650 (which is what I have), although Apple list all mid-2012 MacBook Pros as Metal 2 compatible. And before you ask the question, I can't even change the battery in a new macbook, but I can have two drives in this one, replace the CPU, and change the RAM...
An original mac fan, I've owned macs since the first. However, I haven't been able to buy a new MB Pro since 2011. I really want to - but every time I go try and pull the trigger I'm shocked by the lack of PRO in the macbook pro line - and even more so at the ridiculous price they ask for that lack. I've never associated the word "Pro" with anorexic but Apple seems to consider them synonymous. I associate "pro" with powerful, upgrade-able, versatile, reliable, quiet and well-built inside and out. Instead, they've become cosmetic. Expensive and pretty on the outside but brittle on the inside. Pretty throw-away toys for people with more money than brains. They don't have the proper thermal treatment to utilize the "pro" chips inside, for example the super-expensive i9 runs worse than the i7 chip. It's throttle city and yet they still run too hot. That means that everything-soldered-to-it-logicboard will very likely die an early death and very likely take all your data down with it. These are laptops with "repair-ability" score of 1 out of 10!! What could possible be called "Pro" about that?! Designed in California maybe but "Made In China" in the worst sense of the phrase. Not to mention DONGLE CITY - including the external drive you'll need once you run out of internal space in a few years. What's the point of "thin and light" if you have to cart around a bag full of pricey adapters with you every where in a vain attempt to try and extract that "Pro" promise out of them. The only awesome feature is the trackpad - they have a "Pro" trackpad. Only problem is, the vast majority of pros use a mouse the vast majority of the time - so it doesn't mean much. OS X is still pretty darn good - though I'm hearing about kernel panics more and more these days with folks having to reboot a few times a week or worse. That may be the hardware too. Either way, I used to recommend Macs to everyone - even though they were expensive at first, I knew they'd run trouble free and for twice the life of any Windows laptop. I can not in good conscience recommend them any more. I'd gladly take an extra 5mm in depth and an extra pound for a laptop that can be fixed at a reasonable price - that can take a bigger drive a few years later when you'll need one - that can actually run the hardware inside it properly without throttling and overheating - that adds a couple of compatible ports and a card reader so I don't have to schlep around a tangled pile of pricey dongle crap. That can take some extra ram later when needed. That has a keyboard that doesn't fail in a year and doesn't feel like crap. Who's battery can be easily replaced when it dies after a few years (as they all do). That has a magnetic power connector so I don't accidentally trash my $5000 laptop. That doesn't suck up power and jack up the price with a pretty LED strip that "Pro" users don't want, don't use, and don't need. Sorry Apple, but these are not the Macs pros are looking for. Great software but stupid hardware. Your not fooling the pros and it's the pros that people go to for recommendations. If you'd like to know why sales are dropping in this segment for you, here are some of the reasons. Sheesh.
At first when you switched from Light to Dark mode the desktop image changes accordingly. However when I changed the desktop background to the dynamic version, if I try to change it back to still versions they don't change anymore if I switch modes. Does someone know how to revert this back?
This one is paced just a little slower than your iOS deep dive, but what a wonderful difference it makes to to listenability and ease of comprehension. Wonderful content AND pace. Terrific.
I don't know how you keep turning out such comprehensive and insightful content, so regularly, and with such attention holding style. These Deep Dives make traditional podcasts look so time consuming and stale in comparison, that I fear you are setting the bar too high for everyone else. Thank you!
New to the Mac. Just got a Mac mini for Christmas and love it. Having some trouble understanding the differences between Windows, Linux and the Mac (tend to float among all three now). They all look pretty similar, but function very differently under the hood. Your in-depth look was entertaining and informative. I didn't really know much about the Mac OS except that it was far more stable than Windows, and had a proven track record and better security. You've given me a terrific overview of the features I didn't even know existed - thanks!
While I agree with your latter request, it's not that simple. Say I put my heart into one of those garbage apps, and put it there free of charge. Why should my work be removed? If anything, Apple's guidelines need to be better enforced for paid apps, and for childrens' apps. There are so many candy crush knockoffs made strictly for a quick buck. And there are LOADS of apps for kids that have content iAPs. The first group clutters the AppStore. The second group predators its demographic very well, those who don't quite understand value. The same could be said on all platforms. For every diamond you have at least ten coal.
I appreciate the comprehensiveness of these presentations, Rene. You remind me of my C++ computer science professor, who explained abstruse concepts with great clarity and precision.
Rene is one badass journalist. Just finished watching him on Mac Break Weekly. My Super Mac News Dream Team is Rene Richie, Jeff Benjamin at 9-to-5 Mac, Max Yuryev coverage of video tools, and Quinn Nelson at Snazzy Labs. If only there was still some kind of strong economic incentive to join forces into some kind of professional journalism endeavor... like a "magazine" or some sort of grouping of professional journalists. Full Disclosure: I am a former employee of Macworld Magazine from 1998-2000, and I am equal parts delighted and dismayed that professional journalism is still being disrupted. I deeply appreciate professionals working in the field.
my imac hasnt locked up or hung in the 2 yrs ive had it, today after downloading mohave, my system preferences locked up n needed to be hard restarted, then it happened again n again. Love the dark mode but rather have my old OS back that doesnt lock up but i dont wanna go thru the aggravation of downgrading.
This is my first video of your's I've see and I must say this has to be one of the best Apple software reviews give ever seen. You're not just regurgataing the keynote but giving us your thoughts on what they have added. Thank you.
A lot of thought and love have been put in this Mojave. My favorite part is the injection of the Marzipan virus. I'm sure it is a slow 5 years replacement of AppKit, wait and see. Loving the deep dives.
Dark mode is underrated. It's been a long time coming, but I have to say, it does look great. It is especially useful for programmers/developers - dark mode in Xcode was definitely missing. It was common to mock Xcode due to a lack of this basic feature (you could turn the editor dark, but not the menu bars, explorers etc.).
I have had my first Mac for about 6 days while I love it. The app store is so bad it is not worth even bothering with. looking forward to the improvement
The only thing I’m worried about with Mojave is that my dedicated graphics card on my 2011 mbp died and I had to make a bunch of system level tweaks to run only on integrated graphics and those will be lost by an os update most likely and who knows if I could figure out how to fix it again. So I can’t risk running the beta and it’s gonna be a chore to update to Mojave when the full release comes out.
Don't upgrade to Mojave if you have a 2011 mbp. I have a mid-2012, some users reported problems with this model as well. I upgraded, no problem with graphics, but it doesn't support dual-monitoring - whatever Mac you have -, the fucking App Store freezes (and I use a APFS fusion drive that's slick and very fast), my safari extensions are nowhere to be seen... some apps I bough 3 months ago are now "legacy" and unrecognized. And this goes on and on. Absurd. I guess now I can dual-boot Windows or Linux... *sigh*
I’m still torn over the fundamental concept of the App Store. I like that it weeds out the majority of concerns with malware and such, and it helps with privacy concerns, but I also don’t like the idea of Apple having sole control over what apps I can run. It’s manageable on iOS just because it’s always been that way, but if I couldn’t tweak games, run torrent apps, etc, it’d be pretty frustrating.
Dark mode reduces glare (ruclips.net/video/opf8TkcC1Q4/видео.html)??? When you work in dark environment then glare is not an issue at all, but in a bright environment (during daylight) the more bright the screen, the less glare you have. Hence when look on a black background video or dark mode app UI - you see glare a LOT. Is it only my experience?
the irony is that adobe flash did this 20 years ago and they were shunned because of not using a secure sandbox layer to deter attackers from accessing os files but as we have seen there are tons of exploits on mac os, linux and windows apple is creating the same layers adobe did using actionscript 3 and flex
I’ve seen and heard basically everyone who speaks on Apple, you are by far the best. You not only speak on topics and subjects pertaining to Apple no one even knows about, but in them you also dive deep, like this video. I love it.
I’m having problems installing Mac OS mojave smh. It’s getting stuck on 3mins left and it keeps saying redownload the installer. Doing that doesn’t help the problem smh.
Great job and coverage of a complex topic. I am really glad to see much of what is coming in the new OS. I may be showing my age here, but I am sad to see most references to a "Mac" refer to a Mac laptop. When I think of a Mac, I think of the power house desktop that helps me do video editing, image editing, has 3 monitors, lots of RAM and huge screens. There is almost nothing that I can't do with my iMac. (short of carry it around) I have a been a Mac user since 1989 when I started on a Mac Plus. I own an iMac, an iPhone, iPad Pro 13.9" and a few smaller ipads. I just can't seem to be able to pull the trigger on a Macbook Pro. I have been relegated to a couple of very nice Windows laptops as I can get as much in features for half the price. One thing that Apple never tries to compete on - Price! Anyways, Thanks for all the hard work and keep the videos coming, they are great!
Thank you for taking the time to tell the story behind these updates and improvements. I appreciate them a lot more as do I Apple for making them. Cheers!
Dark mode is indeed great but it does need some fine-tuning for legibility - Maps for instance. There are some interesting advantages to Dark mode on my Mac Mini that feeds a Panasonic Plasma TV - it buzzes less in this mode!
“I do snap them into an orderly grid though, I’m not a monster”. I had my reservation when you started that sentence. You really saved your ass there hahah
Well done. Informative as well as enjoyable. I like your style. (My confession: when it comes to my desktop - I am a monster!) Looking forward to stacks.
the thing is with the gallery view for me, is that when I'm looking through my raw files, it takes at least 5 seconds to load just 1 image, so I am very disappointed with this😔😔
I can’t help but look at Mojave and think a dark mode was planned for iOS as well and got pushed back due to the performance update of iOS 12. It’s a big bummer to wait yet another year, but at least, if Mojave is any indication, it’ll be a good dark mode and work way better than just a more sophisticated smart invert.
With Mojave There's no way to set only the Dock and the Menu Bar to be dark !!!! ... Such a bummer... I've restore it back out of Mojave. Wouldn't Apple want the upgrade to look as seamless as possible for the user? Making that option possible will increase adoption of the new system and features with the familiar GUI color scheme users are familiar with. Please Apple add that feature back on to the finder preferences !!!!
select Light mode in General settings. Open Terminal. Enter defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes log out. select dark mode. Welcome.
Finally MacOS starts to catch up with some of the features of Windows and Linux. It's about time they tried too. Still need to go a bit further though.
I was expecting very little from Mojave based on what I heard before WWDC. I was pleasantly surprised and actually it's probably one of my most favourite recent releases. I have a lot of HomeKit stuff so HomeKit support is great. Rene's video is too long and too fast but probably one of the best videos for Mojave I've seen. He know's his stuff.
I would love to install the public beta on my MacBook Air, however, it is a mission critical device for me. It is my work machine and my home machine. I cannot afford to have bugs and compatibility issues.
if you've got the space, you can use disk utility to make a second partition. that way, you can still test out Mojave and still keep your El Cap/Sierra installation in tact
Great info here. It’s abit disconcerting looking directly at you while you talk but you’re looking at your script so not looking into “our eyes”. Try an interview style angle instead as if you’re talking to someone behind the camera or use more screenshots. 👍🏽

And no I don't have problems running pro, RAM intensive, CPU and GPU intensive apps from my Mac, and it's not too old yet - I do video-editing and photo work for a living. Looking at hardware, the iPad Pro 2018 is much better than the new MacBooks. Just need a new OS for it...
I am breathless. All these changes, most of them available shortly. But as an ordinary user , I wonder how much of it will just glance off the top of my head, We will see!!!
Been using Apple for the past 10 year but due to the lack of OS changes in OS X Mojave and iOS 12, i will be moving to PC and android. Good video, horrible updates
I love all tour videos, great quality and always something new, not like all those other RUclipsrs who just repeat the same. You are not just great a videos, you are also super handsome!!!!!!
Primacy of iOS? What primacy? OS X was around for years before iOS. You’re thinking of the revenue, that’s why features taketoo long to leak over to the mac
Tab favicons, are you kidding me 😭🙌?! The years we’ve waited for MacOS to get the most basic necessary features is kinda embarrassing but this is exciting.
Dark Mode shouldn't be tied to a new Mac OS, it should have been a patch for Sierra, High Sierra. I guess Apple doesn't care about Apple users with old Mac OS.
Had Mojave installed for a minute, then had to revert to High Sierra. Apple removed Back to My Mac and it was a feature I used quite often to access my remote Mac in the office. It was the only solution that worked in my use case, and I'm hoping they bring it back but it's not looking good.
The idea to move iOS apps into macOS is there because the macOS app store is essentially a wasteland. The Windows app store (Microsoft Store) actually has the big-name apps like Pandora, Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, and now even iTunes! This is an attempt to keep the macOS App Store relevant. And many parts of macOS have become a ghost town to developers. Just look at the Dashboard. Apple has neglected this OS for far too long and it's really starting to show. Can they fix it? I don't know, but I can tell you Disk Utility hasn't changed for the better.
Devin Crutcher that’s because developers don’t like apple taking a cut for sales they would have gotten anyway. iOS apps coming to Mac is a news sales channel.
I think the Mac App Store still slays the Windows Store. The Mac App Store has far more quality apps and apps that actually get updates. A lot of the Windows 10 apps don't even take advantage of notifications and instead some of them use their own pop ups making the Notification Center a ghost town on Windows 10. While a Netflix and Hulu app would be fine I think the Mac App Store is far ahead, I've download apps I genuinely use.
I do think the notification center in Windows 10 leaves a bit to be desired, but I don't think anyone is doing notifications completely right. I think it's also important to recognize that the Windows Store offers a lot of the apps that I'd otherwise need an iPad to get. I have replaced my iPad with a Windows 10 convertible for travel. It's about the same price and has all the same apps with the full Windows experience. A lot depends on what you're doing with the thing.
Rene I love your work. One request, could you please read a little slower ? You talk so fast , I have to replay again and again to actually hear what you are saying. Thanks
Rene, fantastic breakdown of Mojave. This and your iOS 12 deep dives we're awesome. Quick question: have you broken your disdain for progressive web apps to Leo Laporte yet? He's gonna be crushed. 😆
The Mac App Store is still a stupid implementation. There is no good reason for it not be a properly searchable website. It's only slightly better than the Slack nightmare or the iTunes abomination.
This just destroys PC Fanboys who said Apple was going to abandon macOS. Or that iOS was going to be on MacBooks. macOS will remain the king of desktop class OS's. The only thing Windows has going for it right now is gaming, which will probably move over to phones, and will be optimized for A-series chips. Imagine running those same games on macOS which are on your iPhone.
Nah come on gaming isn't the only thing going for Windows by a long shot. But gaming is one of only a handful major example of a difference between the two that isn't subjective, and they all favour Windows. In the professional sphere Windows still has a bigger presence when you remember photography hobbyists aren't the bulk of actual users, and in the Windows world, very high end hardware (think pro graphics cards) is more accessible. I say this as a long time user of both. Microsoft has beaten Apple to the mark with ARM laptops and even if Apple does a good job of the same with MacOS, it won't be as relevant as it allows Microsoft to cover widely varying markets which is something Apple will never choose to do. If Apple treated Microsoft with the same contempt Mac users do, they wouldn't even exist! Apple does well to consider Microsoft a quality contender.
The new MacOS you announced sounds very attractive but you didn't talk about Apple services and support. All software system seems to improves like what you had mentioned but not the services and support for software and it support can't even solve my MacBook Pro issues. After upgraded to high Sierra it screw up my whole MacBook Pro. Hope you don't waste all your efforts for Apple further... It going down soon..... it after sales service is killing it reputation. I like your program but not the Apple now. We had been invested so much money and supporting Apple products since 1995 till now but our whole group of companies and families members have to throw away all out Mac and IOS products. you are good but the products are shit.............
In other words, Apple focuses on tweaks and minor adjustments, we pay more for the hardware and we get less of the gimmick. What will Apple do in the next decade, 3D Hand gestures for the MacOS X? sigh! and yes i'm a mac user.

Is it possible to have the mac swap slowly to dark mode? like 8am i'll have full bright mode and then at 8pm ill have dark mode in its glory
James Drake it is possible as Apple Maps already have this feature
Drake & Drew I’m pretty sure That’s what’s going to happen, it’s going to match sun set and sun rise when the sun is down, dark mode. When it’s up, light mode.
try this out. nightowl.kramser.xyz/

The macos app store still looks vomitrocious, I’m glad they’re addressing it but they also need to kick a lot of garbage apps off of there

Great review, Rene, it really shows all the features we´d love about Mojave
Great job on the video Rene!!
Your hard work shines through in these in depth videos.
Excellent voice sound. What microphone are you using?
I appreciate the comprehensiveness of these presentations, Rene. You remind me of my C++ computer science professor, who explained abstruse concepts with great clarity and precision.
what do think about the new butterfly keyboard?
Rene is one badass journalist. Just finished watching him on Mac Break Weekly. My Super Mac News Dream Team is Rene Richie, Jeff Benjamin at 9-to-5 Mac, Max Yuryev coverage of video tools, and Quinn Nelson at Snazzy Labs.

When are we getting this?
This is my first video of your's I've see and I must say this has to be one of the best Apple software reviews give ever seen. You're not just regurgataing the keynote but giving us your thoughts on what they have added. Thank you.
Mate, this deep dive is like if Ars Technica made video reviews for their deep dives lol - LOVING IT!!!
Profound and coherent assessment of Apple tech by association and connectivity of integrative functioning of all systems. Appreciate your work!
You should be a politician
Hi. How do you know rotate the whole screen to 90, 180 degree? Thank you. God bless, Proverbs 31
A lot of thought and love have been put in this Mojave. My favorite part is the injection of the Marzipan virus. I'm sure it is a slow 5 years replacement of AppKit, wait and see.
Loving the deep dives.
Thank you! It’s going to be an interesting and fun next few years.
Yes, very exciting years ahead when all the current pieces moving will reach their positions
Thank you for your work Rene, the way you present this type of info is very clean and clear. Keep going like this!

The only thing I’m worried about with Mojave is that my dedicated graphics card on my 2011 mbp died and I had to make a bunch of system level tweaks to run only on integrated graphics and those will be lost by an os update most likely and who knows if I could figure out how to fix it again. So I can’t risk running the beta and it’s gonna be a chore to update to Mojave when the full release comes out.
Don't upgrade to Mojave if you have a 2011 mbp. I have a mid-2012, some users reported problems with this model as well. I upgraded, no problem with graphics, but it doesn't support dual-monitoring - whatever Mac you have -, the fucking App Store freezes (and I use a APFS fusion drive that's slick and very fast), my safari extensions are nowhere to be seen... some apps I bough 3 months ago are now "legacy" and unrecognized. And this goes on and on. Absurd. I guess now I can dual-boot Windows or Linux... *sigh*
I’m still torn over the fundamental concept of the App Store. I like that it weeds out the majority of concerns with malware and such, and it helps with privacy concerns, but I also don’t like the idea of Apple having sole control over what apps I can run. It’s manageable on iOS just because it’s always been that way, but if I couldn’t tweak games, run torrent apps, etc, it’d be pretty frustrating.
11:58: it it actually convenient, at least for a student doing his powerpoint and needs to take a picture of something and put it right into my mac.
Dark mode reduces glare (ruclips.net/video/opf8TkcC1Q4/видео.html)??? When you work in dark environment then glare is not an issue at all, but in a bright environment (during daylight) the more bright the screen, the less glare you have. Hence when look on a black background video or dark mode app UI - you see glare a LOT. Is it only my experience?
the irony is that adobe flash did this 20 years ago and they were shunned because of not using a secure sandbox layer to deter attackers from accessing os files but as we have seen there are tons of exploits on mac os, linux and windows
apple is creating the same layers adobe did using actionscript 3 and flex
I’ve seen and heard basically everyone who speaks on Apple, you are by far the best. You not only speak on topics and subjects pertaining to Apple no one even knows about, but in them you also dive deep, like this video. I love it.
I’m having problems installing Mac OS mojave smh. It’s getting stuck on 3mins left and it keeps saying redownload the installer. Doing that doesn’t help the problem smh.
Great job and coverage of a complex topic. I am really glad to see much of what is coming in the new OS. I may be showing my age here, but I am sad to see most references to a "Mac" refer to a Mac laptop. When I think of a Mac, I think of the power house desktop that helps me do video editing, image editing, has 3 monitors, lots of RAM and huge screens. There is almost nothing that I can't do with my iMac. (short of carry it around) I have a been a Mac user since 1989 when I started on a Mac Plus. I own an iMac, an iPhone, iPad Pro 13.9" and a few smaller ipads. I just can't seem to be able to pull the trigger on a Macbook Pro. I have been relegated to a couple of very nice Windows laptops as I can get as much in features for half the price. One thing that Apple never tries to compete on - Price! Anyways, Thanks for all the hard work and keep the videos coming, they are great!
Thank you for taking the time to tell the story behind these updates and improvements. I appreciate them a lot more as do I Apple for making them. Cheers!
Thank you for this, I use to look forward to the Ars write up each year - this in large part fills that same want; excellent content
Dark mode is indeed great but it does need some fine-tuning for legibility - Maps for instance.
There are some interesting advantages to Dark mode on my Mac Mini that feeds a Panasonic Plasma TV - it buzzes less in this mode!
What is it about YOUR style of Deep Dive works? I love the way you present the content.
Fantastic job, sir! Wow!
Listen to you on MBW. Didn't know you had a channel. Instantly subbed.
“I do snap them into an orderly grid though, I’m not a monster”. I had my reservation when you started that sentence. You really saved your ass there hahah
Well done. Informative as well as enjoyable. I like your style. (My confession: when it comes to my desktop - I am a monster!) Looking forward to stacks.
Thanks for this deep dive, so exciting!!
Great analysis. Learnt heaps.
Looking forward to Mojave. Thanks Rene for your perspective.
Very, very good video. My first 'Deep Dive', and I'm a fan now. Well done!
Another excellent video. Thanks Rene!
the thing is with the gallery view for me, is that when I'm looking through my raw files, it takes at least 5 seconds to load just 1 image, so I am very disappointed with this😔😔
Dynamic wallpapers isn't working for me atm
All we need airplay 2 so can use stereo homepods without lag
I can’t help but look at Mojave and think a dark mode was planned for iOS as well and got pushed back due to the performance update of iOS 12. It’s a big bummer to wait yet another year, but at least, if Mojave is any indication, it’ll be a good dark mode and work way better than just a more sophisticated smart invert.
With Mojave There's no way to set only the Dock and the Menu Bar to be dark !!!!
... Such a bummer... I've restore it back out of Mojave.
Wouldn't Apple want the upgrade to look as seamless as possible for the user?
Making that option possible will increase adoption of the new system and features with the familiar GUI color scheme users are familiar with.
Please Apple add that feature back on to the finder preferences !!!!
BrainstormCrib I suspect the number of users who have this view is so small they won’t put resources into it
select Light mode in General settings. Open Terminal. Enter defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes
log out. select dark mode. Welcome.
Loving the latest Mojave beta.
It will occasionally freeze for 10 seconds or so in Safari, News, etc.
Anyone else having that issue?
Finally MacOS starts to catch up with some of the features of Windows and Linux. It's about time they tried too. Still need to go a bit further though.
I was expecting very little from Mojave based on what I heard before WWDC. I was pleasantly surprised and actually it's probably one of my most favourite recent releases. I have a lot of HomeKit stuff so HomeKit support is great. Rene's video is too long and too fast but probably one of the best videos for Mojave I've seen. He know's his stuff.
The dark mode on a specced out iMac Pro is a true life goal. For us. The Mortals.
Also my MacBook Pro 2015 takes forever to open News
If you play older games make sure they are updated for Metal because OpenGL is entirely deprecated in this version of the OS.
How do you ask Siri for a password? I couldn’t get that to work with any voice request I tried.
Rene is one of the few RUclipsrs that I don't need to play at 1.25x. Thanks for the great content!
I would love to install the public beta on my MacBook Air, however, it is a mission critical device for me. It is my work machine and my home machine. I cannot afford to have bugs and compatibility issues.
if you've got the space, you can use disk utility to make a second partition. that way, you can still test out Mojave and still keep your El Cap/Sierra installation in tact
Great info here.
It’s abit disconcerting looking directly at you while you talk but you’re looking at your script so not looking into “our eyes”. Try an interview style angle instead as if you’re talking to someone behind the camera or use more screenshots. 👍🏽
Very good deep dive!
Mojave's dark mode is a crowd pleaser that's a wanna-be rip-off of an indie app called Lights out.
This app get *everything* dark if you want - including websites. Everything. You have granular control and can program it to switch gradually at different of the day.
For my part, one of the only reason why I upgraded to Mojave was because of the dark mode, but it's buggy, and consider apps I purchased literally a few months ago as "legacy" and won't run them.
I just did a lot of work to dual-boot Mojave and High Sierra creating an APFS fusion drive... *sigh* I guess I was wrong.
The Appstore bug, I can't see my Safari extensions at all. I can't see my drive on the desktop (for whatever reason)... dual-monitor support (other than mirroring) is next to impossible, requires a hard-reset and is not a proper long-term fix...
I mean Mojave is still in semi-beta mode to me! The dark mode and new gimmicks like automatic desktop cleaning just hide the fact that Apple don't have a solid grasp on APFS and their new architecture yet.
I do not seem to have problem with Metal but I know users reported problems with mid-2012 MacBook Pro running a GTX650 (which is what I have), although Apple list all mid-2012 MacBook Pros as Metal 2 compatible. And before you ask the question, I can't even change the battery in a new macbook, but I can have two drives in this one, replace the CPU, and change the RAM...
Apple is getting ridiculous. And no I don't have problems running pro, RAM intensive, CPU and GPU intensive apps from my Mac, and it's not too old yet - I do video-editing and photo work for a living. Looking at hardware, the iPad Pro 2018 is much better than the new MacBooks. Just need a new OS for it...
Thanks for this great video!
Damn my first video, and I already subbed
I am breathless. All these changes, most of them available shortly. But as an ordinary user , I wonder how much of it will just glance off the top of my head, We will see!!!
Very informative, thanks
Continuity camera would be amazing if only android and Mac could get along! ...just once!
Will Parsons nupe. as long as google & microsoft are competing with apple, that ain’t happening. XDD
Been using Apple for the past 10 year but due to the lack of OS changes in OS X Mojave and iOS 12, i will be moving to PC and android. Good video, horrible updates
I love all tour videos, great quality and always something new, not like all those other RUclipsrs who just repeat the same. You are not just great a videos, you are also super handsome!!!!!!
Primacy of iOS?
What primacy? OS X was around for years before iOS. You’re thinking of the revenue, that’s why features taketoo long to leak over to the mac
Nice review, Rene. I'm getting tired of Windows 10's perpetual beta state, and it looks like Apple has done some good work with Mojave!
Tab favicons, are you kidding me 😭🙌?! The years we’ve waited for MacOS to get the most basic necessary features is kinda embarrassing but this is exciting.
Really Deep. Great 👍
Dark Mode shouldn't be tied to a new Mac OS, it should have been a patch for Sierra, High Sierra. I guess Apple doesn't care about Apple users with old Mac OS.
Very informative video, Rene. Thank you. Im planning to get an iMac next year, it will be nice to know the features. I’m currently a PC User.
It seems like a great job with Mojave, but other colors could have been there as well.
I’m dreading this vid and oh so looking forward to it
Had Mojave installed for a minute, then had to revert to High Sierra. Apple removed Back to My Mac and it was a feature I used quite often to access my remote Mac in the office. It was the only solution that worked in my use case, and I'm hoping they bring it back but it's not looking good.
50000 unread emails?? And i thought my 2000 were overwhelming to me 😀
I hope Rene drinks decaf because he is racing 1000 words a minute... :)
macOS gets a true dark mode while iOS still has the bright ui.
So it took apple ... him, 18 years ? To properly include dark mode in the OS?
The idea to move iOS apps into macOS is there because the macOS app store is essentially a wasteland. The Windows app store (Microsoft Store) actually has the big-name apps like Pandora, Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, and now even iTunes! This is an attempt to keep the macOS App Store relevant. And many parts of macOS have become a ghost town to developers. Just look at the Dashboard. Apple has neglected this OS for far too long and it's really starting to show. Can they fix it? I don't know, but I can tell you Disk Utility hasn't changed for the better.
Devin Crutcher that’s because developers don’t like apple taking a cut for sales they would have gotten anyway. iOS apps coming to Mac is a news sales channel.
I think the Mac App Store still slays the Windows Store. The Mac App Store has far more quality apps and apps that actually get updates. A lot of the Windows 10 apps don't even take advantage of notifications and instead some of them use their own pop ups making the Notification Center a ghost town on Windows 10. While a Netflix and Hulu app would be fine I think the Mac App Store is far ahead, I've download apps I genuinely use.
I do think the notification center in Windows 10 leaves a bit to be desired, but I don't think anyone is doing notifications completely right. I think it's also important to recognize that the Windows Store offers a lot of the apps that I'd otherwise need an iPad to get. I have replaced my iPad with a Windows 10 convertible for travel. It's about the same price and has all the same apps with the full Windows experience. A lot depends on what you're doing with the thing.
Rene I love your work. One request, could you please read a little slower ?
You talk so fast , I have to replay again and again to actually hear what you are saying.
Thanks
Rene, fantastic breakdown of Mojave. This and your iOS 12 deep dives we're awesome. Quick question: have you broken your disdain for progressive web apps to Leo Laporte yet? He's gonna be crushed. 😆
Dark mode reduces glare? Don't be ridiculous. Really want to get rid of glare? Give me a matte display.
This should have been done years ago
*It looks & feels like Apple is ripping off SGI Irix. Shareholders unite, and sue!*
are you a robot trying to laugh? ha ha ha.
The Mac App Store is still a stupid implementation. There is no good reason for it not be a properly searchable website. It's only slightly better than the Slack nightmare or the iTunes abomination.
This just destroys PC Fanboys who said Apple was going to abandon macOS. Or that iOS was going to be on MacBooks. macOS will remain the king of desktop class OS's. The only thing Windows has going for it right now is gaming, which will probably move over to phones, and will be optimized for A-series chips. Imagine running those same games on macOS which are on your iPhone.
they better not everrrrr put ios on the mac... id cry lol
hmm without directx apple cant take down windows
PC gaming might be superior but i assume it’s gonna die at some point... maybe
cicada Hello!
Nah come on gaming isn't the only thing going for Windows by a long shot. But gaming is one of only a handful major example of a difference between the two that isn't subjective, and they all favour Windows. In the professional sphere Windows still has a bigger presence when you remember photography hobbyists aren't the bulk of actual users, and in the Windows world, very high end hardware (think pro graphics cards) is more accessible. I say this as a long time user of both. Microsoft has beaten Apple to the mark with ARM laptops and even if Apple does a good job of the same with MacOS, it won't be as relevant as it allows Microsoft to cover widely varying markets which is something Apple will never choose to do. If Apple treated Microsoft with the same contempt Mac users do, they wouldn't even exist! Apple does well to consider Microsoft a quality contender.
WIll macos mojave optimize performance? Since El Capitan, mac os became clunkier and clunkier - unoptimized for the hardware its run on.
But a great review
when is mojave supposed to be here?
Usually in Sept or Oct. You can get the beta at beta.apple.com if you're not a developer
oh quick visual note: move a litttttttle away from the window. The light is quite intense so intensity looks ramped up :)
The new MacOS you announced sounds very attractive but you didn't talk about Apple services and support. All software system seems to improves like what you had mentioned but not the services and support for software and it support can't even solve my MacBook Pro issues. After upgraded to high Sierra it screw up my whole MacBook Pro. Hope you don't waste all your efforts for Apple further... It going down soon..... it after sales service is killing it reputation. I like your program but not the Apple now. We had been invested so much money and supporting Apple products since 1995 till now but our whole group of companies and families members have to throw away all out Mac and IOS products. you are good but the products are shit.............
In other words, Apple focuses on tweaks and minor adjustments, we pay more for the hardware and we get less of the gimmick. What will Apple do in the next decade, 3D Hand gestures for the MacOS X? sigh! and yes i'm a mac user.
