Hands-On with macOS Mojave

Apple this week introduced the latest version of the operating system that runs on the Mac, macOS. macOS Mojave is Apple's first deviation from mountain-based naming in four years, and the update, with its new name, brings some major changes to the Mac lineup.

We went hands-on with macOS Mojave to check out all of the new features, which range from changes to the desktop and Finder to a systemwide dark mode.

Been using Mojave for a few days on a 2015 MacBook Pro and it seems pretty stable so far. Love the new dark mode it looks amazing on a Retina display!

[teammmx]

This is pretty good, and I will be using dark mode.

I loved the dark mode, Safari reading, Apple News, IMessage, quick updatenew versions...now, the dark mode for the Finder. That’s reason I changed from Android devices to Apple devices,

Finally a great update full of great useful features especially for photos

[weschilton]

Dark mode is great... but will preview mode support RAW files!

[EthanFiske]

This looks like a promising update. I didn’t update to this years because it didn’t seem worth changing but I’ll wait until a couple of bug fixes in to update to this one

[joshcorbett]

I'd like Apple to create a special file type for its dynamic desktop feature for wallpapers

[VMiXEZ]

Although I don’t like dark mode as I can’t read light text on dark background but it’s good that they have the options to use dark mode as I know that a lot of ppl will love to use it.

Honestly, I don't care about any of these new "features." I'm more concerned with what apps will break with this update. 🙄

[Missingnin]

never anything but aesthetic improvement

[wingsley]

We've gone at least one version of MacOS without any significant coverage of how Photos has changed. Would like to see that, as well as some coverage of how Photos has evolved over the last few versions of MacOS.

Now whats the difference between Quicklook and Preview?

[CALMS]

Okay, I just updated to Mojave on my Mid-2015 Macbook Air, and its looks horrible to my eyes. Why does my tabs like finder or whatever have a white outline on everything, while yours looks so clean... did apple purposely do this for the Airs? How do I fix it?

[jontodd]

Will, or is dark mode available for iPad?
It would be helpful if so.

I haven't been really excited about a coming MacOS release in a long time. I've been a Mac user since 1990 and an Apple Certified Support Professional in almost every version since 10.3 and this is the first time that I've been excited enough about a new OS release that is coming and had old enough hardware that I think I am actually going to replace my desktop machine just so I can run Mojave. Gotta have Dark Mode in my office!
It's a Mid-2011 27-inch iMac and just a hair to old to run it. Fortunately my MacBook Pro, a mid-2012, just makes the cut.

I'd be interested to see how the new screenshots app works with multiple monitors? Also has anyone tested the Creative Cloud Apps with it? I seem to remember Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator having some pretty major issues last year (that Adobe were slow to to fix - even given the long MacOS beta development time)?

[armanddesarrierespays]

I want my reliability back... with high Sierra it’s pretty much hopeless to put my mac on standby, it’ll reboot because of their crappy power management. Very common and well documented problem with high sierra.

[IcarasX]

Why did you say 2019 for the redesigned Mac App Store? 🤔

[soarelia]

can you make a video how to back in high sierra? or can you tell me?

[repenning]

How about adding back a usable version of Preview again with working annotations: e.g., spell check and resizeable. Did anybody ask to disable spell checking?
