  • Fixes a stability issue with uploading and downloading media files from iCloud Photo Library while your Mac is asleep
  • Resolves a stability issue when transferring large amounts of data to RAID volumes
  • Fixes an issue where the Reduced Motion Accessibility preference did not reduce the speed of animations in a Group FaceTime call

Enterprise content:

  • Improves performance on certain Mac models when enabling hardware acceleration in GPU-intensive apps such as those used for video conferencing
  • Addresses an issue where Microsoft Exchange accounts were unable to sign in during account setup when using Conditional Access
  • Apple Push Notification Service traffic now uses a web proxy when specified in a PAC file via the Proxies payload
  • Resolves an issue that prevented some displays connected to MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) from waking from sleep when the Mac wakes
  • Major new releases of macOS are no longer hidden when using the softwareupdate(8) command with the  --ignore flag

This change also affects macOS Mojave and macOS High Sierra after installing Security Update 2020-003.

I updated on my notebook signed Acer E1, I noticed that the battery status function is not there, I asked if it happens to you too, perhaps because ours are hach and therefore does not detect it, or you have to wait for some kext to come out which detects this function.

Even on real Macs, the feature is only available to certain types of MacBooks (2016 and newer, for as far as I know). So...I think it might depend on the SMBIOS you're using.

 

Funny: initially I read the text on your screenshot as "per iMac" instead of the Italian "per i Mac", which is definitely not the same thing. So I was thinking: why would you have battery information on an iMac? :))) Didn't make any sense, especially since you mentioned an Acer E1 notebook. :))

 

Anyway, I just thought it was funny. :)

Thanks for the reply, I just wanted to experiment with this new feature if it fit a hachintosh notebook.
PS: Use SMBIOS 14.2 Macbook (2017)
