That said, I’ve found a place for many of the aforementioned features in my own daily workflow. When Apple trotted out photogs, producers and interactive artists for a recent event, I’d be lying if I said I felt like I belonged. I’ll be the first to admit that you’ll need to broaden your definition of “creative professional” pretty damn wide before I start to fit in. Dark Mode, Gallery View, file metadata and Stacks are among the top new features here, and each have creative pros firmly in their sights. Many of the operating system’s marquee features cater to precisely those power users. Mojave plays a central role in all of this. The iMac Pro, for instance, presents an all-in-one alternative to the modular desktop, while the latest MacBook pros offer up some downright nutty specs on the high-end.

While the Mac Pro won’t be arriving until next year, it’s made important strides on the hardware front. who use the products are among the most influential when it comes to buying decisions.īut Apple has begun to address these concerns. After all, while the category isn’t ultimately a huge one, the videographers, artists, musicians, et al. “If we’ve had a pause in upgrades and updates,” Phil Schiller said during a roundtable discussion, “we’re sorry for that - what happened with the Mac Pro - and we’re going to come out with something great to replace it.”Ĭompanies like Microsoft have seen opportunity in Apple’s further push into populism, targeting the ever-growing Surface line at those creative Pros. Last year, meanwhile, Apple presented an uncharacteristically transparent view into the trials and tribulations of the Mac Pro line.

There was a backlash against Final Cut, when Apple made changes for the sake of simplifying/streamlining, removing the high level of customization videographers had come to rely on. The last few years have seen the company hit mounting criticism that it had taken its eye off the ball when it comes to creative professionals - a segment of users long regarded to be the spirital core of its desktop offerings. Unlike High Sierra, which felt, in many respects (name included), like a refinement over its predecessor, Mojave finds Apple with specific mission in mind. There are international features and updates to Apple’s machine learning offering - things that, in my case, don’t really impact usage.Įven with the broad scope of updates contained herein, however, 10.14 represents what is arguably the most focused macOS release in recent memory.

There’s a lot of ground to cover, in order to assure the update covers as wide a swath of users as possible. But that’s just the nature of an operating system upgrade. I can’t claim to have used every feature with any regularity.

Sure, there were certain standard beta bugs and capability issues that made me regret the decision on occasion, but the only way to sufficiently test a product like this is use it day to day. Against my better judgment and repeat warnings from those who knew better, I went ahead and installed Mojave on my work computer the first chance I got.
