macOS Sierra public beta arrives today

Apple will roll out the public beta for macOS Sierra today, giving users their first glimpse of the next version of the newest Mac operating system.

I’ve been using the Sierra beta since it first came out at WWDC, albeit on a second computer. I really like where Apple is going with the newest release, and the features they’ve included.

As I noted in my First Look of Sierra, it’s the small things that really impress me about this release. Auto Unlock to automatically unlock your Mac if you have an authenticated Apple Watch, and the ability to copy and paste across devices.

All of the features like this are going to make macOS Sierra a great operating system for users.

As much as you may want to try out macOS Sierra, please do use caution. This is a beta operating system and things may not (probably won’t) work all the time or as expect. That’s just the nature of a beta release.

If you are going to install it, do it on a second Mac, not the one you use every day. And make sure to backup.

If you do install it, make sure to update when they are available and enjoy the public beta.
