Apple recently published macOS 10.13.4 5 beta and is approaching the final launch of the future macOS 10.13.4 for all compatible devices macOS High Sierra.

Even if there will be no significant changes to the interface, the new operating system will bring substantial changes for Mac owners.

Version news macOS 10.13.4 High Sierra

First of all, the option that users can store is entered messages in iCloud. All messages sent as SMS or iMessage can be stored in iCloud and available on all devices on which this option will be activated. Messages support in iCloud it will be introduced this spring for iPhone and iPad with the launch iOS 11.3.

Another goal of Apple Final version macOS 10.13.4 is the official support for External GPUs. Each beta version has brought significant improvements to performance and stability to for graphics cards (video card) attached externally. Users can use GPU box to attach graphics cards as well Radeon RX Vega 64 or NVIDIA.
Official support will be for GPU connection through Thunderbolt 3, but the connection possibility for devices with will not be eliminated Thunderbolt 2. This is even better news for those who already use external GPU units on their Macs. Final Cut Pro X you will most likely receive an update to work at maximum performance with the new external GPU support. Currently, those who tested Final Cut Pro X on the version macOS 10.13.4 5 beta have already found a significant improvement in performance in video editing.

Another novelty of the future macOS will be removing application support on 32-bits. Apple encourages developers to switch to 64-bit architecture and users will receive alerts similar to those on iOS.
As a bonus for all Mac users, the wallpaper “Ink Cloud” currently present only on iMac Pro, will be available on all devices with the new version of macOS.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
