Apple is officially rolling out the macOS 10.12.5 software update for all Mac users. macOS 10.12.5 is available as a free update through the Mac App Store.

Some of my favorite gear

Enjoy powerful brightness and rich contrast with OLED HDR+. Discover pure blacks, bright whites and Pantone-validated color with OLED Technology. Starting at $1,299, save up to $1,900 for a limited time only!

macOS 10.12.5 primarily focuses on delivering bug fixes and performance and security improvements to macOS Sierra. Apple last added new features through macOS 10.12.4 in March which includes Night Shift for Mac for the first time.
