The release of macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 (and iOS 11.4) introduced support for Messages in iCloud.

Siri synchronizes information across iOS and Mac devices so the Siri experience is the same regardless of the product being used. It also uses machine learning to understand the user better. Siri now uses a more natural and expressive voice. The version number was incremented to 4.5. The Notes app includes the ability to add tables to notes, and notes can be pinned to the top of the list. The last version of Safari that High Sierra supports is 13.1.2. The 'Reader Mode' can be set to always-on. Safari can also block auto playing videos from playing. Safari 11 has a new 'Intelligent Tracking Prevention' feature that uses machine learning to block third parties from tracking the user's actions. Mail also uses 35% less storage space due to optimizations, and Mail's compose window can now be used in split-screen mode. Mail has improved Spotlight search with Top Hits. Photos synchronizes tagged People with iOS 11. MacOS High Sierra gives Photos an updated sidebar and new editing tools. Media professionals that depend on any of those programs were advised to create a double boot drive to their computer.

The FTP and telnet command line programs were removed. The time service ntpd was replaced with timed for the time synchronization. The Low Battery notification and its icon were replaced by a flatter modern look. Kernel extensions ('kexts') will require explicit approval by the user before being able to run. HEVC hardware acceleration requires a Mac with a sixth-generation Intel processor or newer (late 2015 27-inch iMac, mid 2017 21.5-inch iMac, early 2016 MacBook, late 2016 MacBook Pro or iMac Pro). In addition, audio codecs FLAC and Opus are also supported, but not in iTunes. However, whenever an Intel IGP is present, the frameworks will only direct requests to Intel IGP.

Macs with the Intel Kaby Lake processor offer hardware support for Main 10 profile 10-bit hardware decoding, those with the Intel Skylake processor support Main profile 8-bit hardware decoding, and those with AMD Radeon 400 series graphics also support full HEVC decoding. MacOS High Sierra adds support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), with hardware acceleration where available, as well as support for High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF). The system's windowing system, Quartz Compositor, supports Metal 2. It includes virtual-reality and machine-learning features, as well as support for external GPUs. Metal, Apple's low-level graphics API, has been updated to Metal 2. It also has built‑in encryption, crash‑safe protections, and simplified data backup on the go. It supports 64‑bit inode numbers, is designed for flash memory, and is designed to speed up common tasks like duplicating a file and finding the size of a folder's contents.
