Hey @VRing, does that supposed magical and revolutionary custom build of yours that is SO much better than an iMac Pro do this? Didn't think so and never will! 

I know you're just flaming, but TPM chips have been in the vast majority of Windows computers and motherboards for enterprise use for years. As well, a number of these types of computers have a self-healing BIOS to restore a corrupt or potentially attacked BIOS.

Apple has been using EFI/UEFI right from its first Intel-based Mac in 2005, it may have even been the first to ship consumer x86 Intel systems that used EFI/UEFI.  No production Mac has ever used BIOS; can’t vouch for what was used on the computers in Apple’s labs for their Star Trek project, the one where they ran System 7 on PC-compatible hardware.

It amuses me that VRing conflates UEFI with BIOS.  UEFI is far more advanced in what it does compared to outdated BIOS.
I knew the moment that Windows PC manufacturers started making their systems using UEFI that people would continue to lazily and confusingly use the term BIOS in systems where it’s absent.

What counts is how many they sell from revision to revision, not on the opening week or month. 

Then Apple for the past ten years has had it where it counts:

277.1MB on an over the air update for an iPhone 6S.

I’ve been very happy with iOS11, I think it’s actually made my 6S a little faster.
Installing 11.0.2 as I compose and post.

Wonder if the current state of affairs in the world (I.e., terrorism) influenced their decision?

Judging by the thousands of sporting, musical and cultural events people are gathering around globally to enjoy right this moment, definitely not.

Wonder what influenced your line of thinking and if there's something the FBI or some other security agency should ask you about it.
