I've just merged your topic to this current one, as this topic talks about the same thing (BS 11.6.xx updates).

The number without small letter like "b" at the end means it is Release, not Beta. About "final", I got updates for Mojave this year so a year ago Mojave was not "final". More so BigSur. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348888-release-macos-big-sur-116/page/3/#findComment-2772094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is understandable the way I worded it, it may not be the "best" way but this is a forum after all, not a science magazine or similar. Okay, please see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Big_Sur Latest release 11.6.1 [2] (20G224)[3] (October 25, 2021; 22 days ago) Notice it is 11.6.1, and the 22 days ago part.

MorenoAv Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 One more update done, but this time I had to use my usb installer to initiate the update... and it worked.

Henties Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) I am now totally "confussed" with Apple's update "designation". Downloaded Big Sur 11.6.2 build 311 without problems but what is it ?? 303 was RC2 in other words half beta and half final. 311 don't really know what it is as it did not "reveal" anything during the download and post installation phase. Assume it remains "PWIP" perpetual work in progress as Apple did not grace Big Sur 311 with Safari 15.2 as Apple did with Monterey 21C5045a Greetings Henties Edited December 2, 2021 by Henties 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348888-release-macos-big-sur-116/page/3/#findComment-2772803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henties Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 During all my hacking years, since SL, I have never experienced that the successor of a macOS version - Monterey - is in beta whilst that which it is succeeding is also still rocking the beta boat. Strange things happen in strange places. My preferred daily workhorse remains Big Sur, however Monterey now also works well for me with the functionality that I require with my standard workflows, albeit only after having throttled my memory down from 3600 Mhz, to 2933 Mhz. and disabled the built. in i225-V NIC and replaced that with a PCIe DGE-560t gigabit expansion card.

Henties Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) @Cyberdevs I concur because Apple "describes" this latest Big Sur 311 update as a "security" improvement whereas 303 was designated by Apple as RC2, therefore I ask myself, where are we?. For all intents and purposes I can only conclude that we are still at RC2 with BS 311. Wondering whether we will see a final release of either Big Sur and or Monterey before Xmas, however seems to me to be wishful thinking.

Cyberdevs Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 @Henties Your guess is as good as mine and I'm not sure when Apple will release the 11.6.2 but it might be released by the end of December (I'm just guessing). If you take a look at the release dates of previous updates for Big Sur you can see that Apple has released an update almost every month or so with few exceptions for some security updates that don't exactly follow that pattern. For instance 11.0 (the first public release) and 11.0.1 (as a security update) were released on November 2020; 11.2, 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 were released on February 2021; 11.3.1 and 11.4 were released on March 2021 and 11.5 and 11.5.1 were released on July 2021. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348888-release-macos-big-sur-116/page/3/#findComment-2772835 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys -- for God's sake, we do not use or care about your Beta updates!! Stop posting info on those, or if you really need to at least have the courtesy to clarify this is a Beta update and not the "real thing". Mods, merging the Big Sur Beta and non-Beta threads was a mistake, it seems. Now lots of useless posts with Beta updates info are being added -- useless to people that do not use those, and even more useless with no designation it is info about a new Beta.

Riley Freeman Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 There's something weird going on with 11.6 for sure. If you use any of the tools or scripts to get the latest full Big Sur installer it's 11.5.2. 11.6 was "deprecated" and 11.6.1 was never listed. Maybe there were issues with 11.6 and 11.6.1 which need to be resolved with 11.6.2. I guess we'll see soon enough when it's officially out. 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348888-release-macos-big-sur-116/page/3/#findComment-2772894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
