1) The "0 New Features" Mac OS X 10.6.0 came 22 months after 10.5.0, not 12 months
2) 10.6.0 included significant under-the-hood improvements but also brought some truly nasty new bugs and was significantly buggier than 10.5.8, released a few weeks prior
3) 10.6 received 23 months of subsequent minor bug fix updates, up to 10.6.8 v1.1
We'd need two Snow Leopards in a row just to match Snow Leopard purely in development time, but now there's a lot more preexisting technical debt built up after well over a decade of annual major releases.
- ValentineC 11mo agoLike every other OS with a billion parts, they fix some moving parts while breaking others. I was on Ventura until I very recently upgraded to Sequoia. Three little undocumented changes I noticed: 1) My Thunderbolt 4 NVMe enclosure was unusable in Ventura and would cause Finder to hang. It's usable now. 2) I could finally connect to my 6Ghz access point with my M2 MacBook Pro. 3) I think the HDR brightness transition was also tweaked to be a bit less annoying. I'm skipping Tahoe because it's hot garbage, but I look forward to macOS 27.
