In the macOS information card on the right, latest release of macOS appears to be 14.1 (23B74) (October 25, 2023; 19 days ago), however, the actual latest version of macOS is 14.1.1, released on Nov. 7, 2023. Powersagitar (talk) 19:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ Thanks for pointing this out. DFlhb (talk) 20:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Technical details, if you're interested:
 * That infobox field is kept in a separate template, Template:Latest stable software release/macOS, and transcluded into this page, that way it can be updated in multiple places at once. But we have separate templates for the latest macOS version, and the latest macOS Sonoma version, and only the latter was kept up to date. What I've done is change the macOS template to transclude the Template:Latest stable software release/macOS Sonoma template; that way they'll always be in sync. Next year when a new release comes out, we can just switch the transclusion again to the new release. DFlhb (talk) 20:19, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

macOS (/ˌmækoʊˈɛs/;[6] previously OS X and originally Mac OS X) is an operating system developed and marketed by Apple Inc. since 2001. It is the primary operating system for Apple's Mac computers. Within the market of desktop and laptop computers, it is the second most widely used desktop OS, after Microsoft Windows and ahead of Linux (including ChromeOS).

the last part where gnu/linux is refered as just linux is wrong and should be changes so it is more true and correct 81.234.150.230 (talk) 00:44, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The name of the family of operating systems in reliable sources is simply "Linux", so that's what we use here. Tollens (talk) 01:03, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Need a new redirect tag for macOS
The software, macOS, is now onto version 11. So it shouldn't be called OSX anymore, X letter meaning the older version 10. So there should be a new redirect tag leading to this macOS page. Is the word "macOS" okay, or is it 1-2 digits too long? ObiKKa (talk) 06:17, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by a "redirect tag"? Mac OS X, OS X, and OSX all redirect to macOS, and have done so for quite a while, given that the OS has been called "macOS" ever since macOS 10.12 Sierra, several years before macOS 11 Big Sur. Guy Harris (talk) 06:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Unreadable header image resolution
I severely doubt Apple is going to sue Wikipedia for a screenshot of their operating system, considering screenshots/videos of macOS and iOS have appeared in thousands of places across all media types, including media made with profit in mind. I'm not sure why we're stuck with pictures that are lower resolution than computers from the 90s. This has been enacted across all pages related to macOS, destroying what used to be very pretty and readable pictures. This also clutters Google images. Machintosh-hd (talk) 01:31, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Because Wikipedia follows Non-free content criteria. - Aoidh (talk) 02:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

capitalization at article beginning
The first word of a sentence is always capitalized even if the particular word isn't always--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 04:52, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Per Manual of Style/Capital letters that is primarily true, though exceptions exist and per MOS:TMCAPS this seems to be one of them. - Aoidh (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
