Hi pals – I love Sonoma! What do you make of it…? Some controversial new features.. in macOS this year…📣 https://www.bettercreating.com/iosdesignpack 👈 + You can grab my iOS, iPad Icon & Covers Pack here!
pretty sure I have a 2018 MacBook Pro. Can I still download this? Doesn't show up in the system updates.
video need more vibrant colors in editing
Just happy they finally fixed the wifi issues with 14.0 that were plaguing most that upgraded
macOS Sonoma is completly useless.
Hey I keep on having my apps and safari windows opening on the right side of my screen… do you know why?
Is it just me? Or do the wallpapers take forever to download?
I'm glad to see the solar gradient in the wallpapers. Haven't seen this sort of thing since the Sony Vaio almost 20 years ago.
How come some 2017 laptops can not download Sonoma
The safari update…not bad at all!
Used Mac OS and hated it. Used windows and hated it. Chrome OS was such a breath of fresh air.
I still haven't switched from Catalina to Big Sur onwards, I hate how Mac OS has turned into a glorified version of iOS.
For me it's the worst update ever. Unnecessary things like live wallpaper, widgets Like old vista.
Ahh. Vista is back. But on Mac.
I'm really interested in the features added to this new version of Mac Sonoma but does it allow Twinmotion to work on the Mac properly?. So that I can upgrade my Mac from macOS Monterey to macOS Sonoma for rendering on architecture modelling and drawings
@BetterCreating Nice watch
Sonoma is great, until you try to use your Adobe graphic design products. It's very glitchy in InDesign – example, when dragging to select multiple objects or text, my screen goes white. I was told by Adobe to use a higher res monitor for GPU, and to wait for Apple to fix the issue. The issues are not huge, but they do slow production.
Hello Simon, we love your presentation style. Would you be interested in reviewing our nootropic supplement gummies?
Can I ask a question of anyone here? Is anyone using Simon's Life OS with Chrome and having any issues with it? In the tracker, it's assuming the daily updates are "tomorrow". Previously the weekly and monthly calendar was also skewed. Re the tracker issue, I've ensured that both my Mac and Notion are using my timezone. These issues don't appear with Safari at all… on Sonoma, of course, that's why I'm asking.
Can anyone explain why my yellow and green dot for maximizing and minimising the windows look different than him i thought it was because of the update but he has the old one and I like the old one 😢 how can I get it back.
Why can't I play sims 4 through Origin since I updated?

Brilliant breakdown mate! Love how organised and structured yet fun your breakdowns are, Sonoma feels like i've got a brand new mac!
Simon – I dont know if it is me but the audio gots blank from about 11:40 until a little after 13 min. Great work as always – love your videos
If I'm not mistaken, was there a bit of cheeky voice over work beginning at about 11:43? Hmmm? I felt the audio quality shift was weird until you got to the bit about creating your own voice!
Sneaky business aside, another great video. The monochromatic widgets was worth the watch all by itself. That has been driving me crazy! Love the ability to make them always monochrome.
1:04 Mum mum mum my my my my woooh! My Sonoma.
Loved it Simon 🤣
Informative video
