I don’t see any benefits for me.

And the systems act like a six year old wanting candy. They are incessant. And I cannot send them to their room.

Mohave killed my apps
Avoid the upgrade

Apple Play started disconnecting from my 6S plus after the last OS update.

Most definetly!

"I don’t see any benefits for me."

My iMac and MacBook Pro are too old for it, which is good. I hate updating.

[goldstategop]

The downside is you have uninstall several hundred megabytes of apps to get the update on an iPhone.

Its more of a minor annoyance than anything. Apple only releases patches periodically. A good thing if you loathe constant Microsoft bug fixes.

Still running Snow Leopard 10.68 and no plans to upgrade ... Apple lost it after 10.6 and became something else more like MS.

[mass55th]

I stayed with Snow Leopard for a very long time, in fact until last summer. I discovered that my the available gigabyte space was being sucked up by something. I could literally sit and watch it go down ever few seconds. I'm no tech person, and was planning on taking it into the shop to do the upgrade to High Sierra to see if that would fix the problem. In the meantime, I did some searches online, and decided to attempt the upgrade myself. If it didn't work, I'd take it into the shop. It took forever for the upgrade to be completed, but it worked. Whatever problem I had had with the disappearing space was eliminated. I actually ended up with 400 GB of available space after the upgrade, when I'd only had about 150 GB with the old OS. All I can think of is that my poor laptop was fighting with itself all this time, and I kicked myself for not having done it earlier. About the only problem I had when I installed OS 10.13 was that some saved emails in my mail account disappeared. Thankfully it was no big deal. Some old apps wouldn't work either, but I could upgrade those that I used, and tossed the ones I didn't use anymore.

My old iMac is another story. It's so old it couldn't even be upgraded to High Sierra. I only use it for downloading stuff, but Safari, Google and Firefox can not be upgraded at all. And I had to stop using Safari all together, because it stopped letting me access specific sites that I had been going to for a very long time...kept claiming it couldn't make a secure connection to those sites. I've been using Firefox instead, and it's still performing fine. Knock on wood!

My oldest son used to be a big Mac user, but got tired of Apple's BS, and uses PC's now with Linux. He's the tech geek in the family, but since he hadn't been keeping up to to date with Apple products, I could even ask him for help when my laptop space was disappearing. I'm 71, and cringe every time I think about having to replace one of my old Apple computers. They're not cheap, but I don't know if I'd be able to deal with a PC and Windows.

[PIF]

Sorry about your space problem - sounds like you were doing Time Machine back ups or something similar - as for my space I would not notice since I have something over 6TB divided into multiple partitions.

Replacing my apps would cost many thousands of dollars - something I’m not willing to exchange for features I either dislike or would never use.

As long as FF keeps grinding on all is good - tried New Moon, but when back to FF - I forget why.

I tried many times to upgrade years ago but always ended up either losing important stuff or my mac not recognizing the upgrade - so I quit beating head against wall.

I’ll upgrade the mac when this one either dies or becomes otherwise unusable and will try to find a OS10.6 used machine in good condition at a reasonable price. The new ones cost far roo much with little added benefit for me and a whole lot of app draw backs.

[mass55th]

It wasn't Time Machine because I don't have it hooked up or active on this machine. I totally understand your reasons for not upgrading, especially if the cost is exorbitant. I don't use very many apps on my laptop at all, so my needs aren't as extensive as yours. I'm just a retired old fart.

My oldest son is employed as a graphic designer and video producer for an international company. They use Windows based machines there. He also creates his own mods and videos for Fallout 4, but only for PC usage, and uploads them to Nexus Mods. It's his hobby when he's not working. He does Skyrim and Fallout 3 & 4 live streaming on the weekends. He's got a YouTube channel titled Red Rocket TV. Just recently built his own PC desktop so he'd be able to live stream on one, instead of two computers. He's 52, and like I said, he's the geek in the family.

Just did it totally routinely on iPhone 6. No problems.
