Right.

When macOS High Sierra is released to the public next week, the new Apple File System (APFS) feature will be limited to Macs with all-flash built-in storage, which means it won't work with iMacs and Mac minis that include Fusion Drives.

Macs with Fusion Drives were converted to APFS during the beta testing process in the first macOS High Sierra beta, but support was removed in subsequent betas and not reimplemented.

With the release of the Golden Master version of the software, Apple has confirmed APFS will not be available for Fusion Drives and has provided instructions for converting from APFS back to the standard HFS+ format.

Apple says APFS will not be supported on Fusion Drives "in the initial release of macOS High Sierra," which suggests support could be added for Fusion Drives at a later date after lingering bugs are worked out.

 

happy ios 11 day.

 

When's it available?

 

Noon CT

 

trying to decide whether i'm going to update now or wait until i get back from vacation on sunday in order to make sure my battery life isn't fucked all weekend

 

It will help your battery life. Honestly it sounds like you got a dud of a phone. Mine is an older 6 and I haven't had really that many problems as you.

 

i have a 6S, already got my battery changed once. my phone is fine right now i just know at every update it drops a bit.

 

God, me too. I was talking them up to some of my students a while back, so when they were on my desk yesterday a few of them pick them up to check them out. I was immediately embarrassed

 

Will it actually help my battery? My iphone 6 lasts a full day on ios 10 right now.

 

Someone with more knowledge correct me but I can see it negatively affecting it some because it trying to do more complicated processes that pushes your hardware more but I think the biggest battery life issues people see are just the batteries getting old.

 

I am an iPhone 6 as well. Are you doing an upgrades beyond iOS11?

 

I plan on doing it and I'm still on the iPhone 6.

 

Are you going to an 8 or waiting for the X?

 

The watch is today as well, right?

 

Yes.

iOS 11 downloading now...

 

Watch users who like to control their iPhone music via the watch are going to be pissed off today.

 

Happy iOS 11 Day everyone. Mine is installing now.

 

Same. Oh happy day.

 

Does anyone here use iTunes Match? Anyone have any thoughts to share on it?

 

just use apple music at that point

 

Installing now.

 

I used it in the past. It's definitely useful if you have a lot of low quality audio files and you don't currently use Apple Music. If you do, there's not really any use for it at all, imo.

 

These new icons...

 

Well, i guess what i'm trying to do is reduce the size of the harddrive I need. I have something like 60gb of music stored locally.

 

My install (iPhone) took just under a half hour from start through finish for anyone wondering. Download size was under 3GB. No issues.

Working on Watch now.
