苹果仍然向不兼容的旧版Mac发送macOS Mojave升级警报

Earlier this year we discussed how Apple was promoting new versions of macOS in the App Store on older Macs that were incompatible in the first place. Now with macOS Mojave released, Apple is still doing the same thing, and this time it’s even worse.

今年早些时候,我们讨论了苹果如何在旧版本的Mac上的App Store中推广MacOS的新版本,而这些Mac OS最初是不兼容的。 现在,随着macOS Mojave的发布,Apple仍在做同样的事情,这一次情况更糟。

On my own 2008 iMac, I received a notification to “Upgrade to macOS Mojave,” complete with a short description of some of the big new features.

在我自己的2008 iMac上,我收到了“升级到macOS Mojave”的通知,并简要介绍了一些重要的新功能。

After opening up the Mac App Store, I clicked on the “Download” button to begin my upgrade, only to be greeted by an error message saying that “This version of macOS 10.14 cannot be installed on this computer.”

打开Mac App Store后,我单击“下载”按钮开始升级,但收到一条错误消息“此计算机上无法安装此版本的macOS 10.14”,我对此表示欢迎。

The error message was about as vague as it gets—nothing about my specific model being incompatible with macOS Mojave. Honestly, if I didn’t know that my 2008 iMac was incompatible with Mojave (as is probably the case with many older Mac owners), I would’ve easily taken this as a literal error message and assumed that there was a problem with my Mac.

该错误消息几乎是含糊不清的—与我的特定模型与macOS Mojave不兼容无关。 老实说,如果我不知道我的2008 iMac与Mojave不兼容(许多旧Mac所有者可能就是这种情况),我很容易将此视为文字错误消息,并假定我的笔记本电脑存在问题苹果电脑。

This is pretty irresponsible of Apple. I understand that they want to promote the latest and greatest software in order to get customers to buy a newer Mac, but nowhere does it tell me specifically that my older Mac is incompatible with Mojave. They need to make that clear at the very least in a situation like this.

这对苹果公司是完全不负责任的。 我知道他们想推广最新,最出色的软件,以便吸引客户购买较新的Mac,但是没有任何地方告诉我我的旧Mac与Mojave不兼容。 他们至少需要在这种情况下明确这一点。
