Maybe it's time for Apple to automatically take a snapshot of the system partition before an upgrade? (Does their filesystem support snapshots?)

- sillywalk 3y agoAPFS does support snapshots. Not sure how that would interact with the Signed System Volume thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System
- duttonw 3y agoother issue is space constraints, if you are at full capicity, you might not be able to afford those extra gb's for said operation.
- callalex 3y agoFor the price they sell their devices at, they could afford to throw in an extra hidden 50GB for a redundant system partition. Instead they choose to bilk customers for over $1/GB above the bare minimum.
