Apple’s operating systems are finally dropping together, and I’m grateful

Like clockwork, Apple releases upgrades to its operating systems every fall after a summer of beta testing. If you’re unfamiliar with the difference between upgrade and update, let me help clarify the two terms. Updates generally refer to the dot fixes Apple issues throughout the year, like iOS 17.5, 18.1, etc. Meanwhile, upgrades are a new integer, think iOS 17, iOS 18, and so on. T
