This is great news for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in VR gaming – but note that your Mac may not be able to take advantage of this as it depends on your processor and your GPU (but it will add support for external GPUs in the future). Metal 2 is the successor to Metal and it will increase GPU performance and gain support for VR. HEVC compresses these extremely high resolution files so they don’t take up take up as much space (which is good news if you are shooting lots of video in 4K on your iPhone 8 Plus).Ī couple of years ago Apple introduced Metal, a framework that bypassed OpenGL and allowed developers to tap in to the computational power of the graphics processor. The new codec is necessary because video sizes are now so much larger thanks to 4K and HDR. HEVC stands for high efficiency video codec, and it’s another name for H.265, the successor to H.264. You will never see a Duplicating file window again. Before we updated the 4GB file copy took 8.41 seconds.
We ran our usual file transfer speed test before and after the update to High Sierra. When it comes to copying large files the process will be faster.
That’s not the only way that Apple’s switch to APFS will benefit you. Apple File System (APFS) is the successor to the old Hierarchical File System (HFS+), which has been around since the beginning of 1998, so it’s pretty ancient. In High Sierra Apple has replaced the primary file system of MacOS. MacOS High Sierra hasn’t had a massive interface overhaul like the one Yosemite bought in 2014, and despite the fact that many of the features gained by its bundled apps feel a little like it is playing catch up with iOS, this version of macOS actually has a lot going on behind the scenes.
