I recommended against upgrading to High Sierra right away because the operating system’s early bugs weren’t offset by useful new features-Mojave has no such problem. But it also includes the biggest and most consequential changes to the Mac’s user interface, the desktop, and Finder that we’ve seen in years some brand-new apps ported over from iOS new automation features an overhauled App Store and significant improvements to small but frequently-used actions like taking screenshots or using Quick Look. It still does some foundation-laying, especially around iOS apps, and it finishes up a few things that didn’t quite get finished in High Sierra. Mojave, macOS version 10.14, takes the opposite approach. The yearly release cycle just kept Apple from actually building a whole lot of new features on top of that foundation. There weren’t a lot of ways to tell that a Mac was running High Sierra instead of Low Sierra, but Apple quietly replaced the file system and the system’s window server and added ( and later finalized) official support for external graphics, among a bunch of other tweaks. I ended last year’s review of macOS High Sierra by lamenting its invisibility but praising the much-needed work it did on the macOS foundation.
