Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

Monday July 2, 2018 10:05 AM PDT by Juli Clover

Apple today seeded the fifth beta of an upcoming macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 update to developers for testing purposes, one week after seeding the fourth 10.13.6 beta.

The new macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 beta can be downloaded through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store with the proper profile installed.

macos hs beta
We don't yet know what improvements the sixth update to macOS High Sierra will bring, but it likely focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements for issues that were not able to be addressed in macOS High Sierra 10.13.5.

No feature changes were discovered in the first four macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 betas, but we'll update this post if new features or notable bug fixes are discovered in the fifth beta.

Work on macOS High Sierra is wrapping up, with Apple now shifting focus to the next-generation version of macOS, macOS 10.14, which was unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference in early June.
