  1. [B]Some milestones[/B]
  2.  
  3. Possible chronological order:
  4. [LIST=1]
  5. [*]APFS developer preview in pre-release 10.12
  6. [*]APFS developer preview in the first release of 10.12
  7. [*]APFS developer preview or beta in pre-release 10.13, to include boot from APFS
  8. [*]APFS in the first release of 10.13
  9.  
  10. [*]APFS to ship (first release) in 2017
  11. [*]APFS to be the default file system for all Apple products, although I don't yet know [URL='http://forums.macrumors.com/posts/23061455']whether, or how, Time Capsule will transition to APFS[/URL]
  12. [*]10.11.x to gain support for APFS data volumes.
  13. [/LIST]
  14. [USER=230315]@KALLT[/USER] would you expect a similar order?
  15.  
  16. I expect 4, 5 and 6 to be broadly coincidental – around the same time of year, not necessarily the same date.
  17.  
  18. [B]For the operating systems that are commonly associated with Apple[/B]
  19.  
  20. I can't imagine APFS as a default for any release of iOS, tvOS or watchOS before it becomes the default for a release of macOS. Whilst the file system might become release-quality for any/all of the first three before macOS, strategically it will make sense for Apple to not formally release APFS until it's perceived to be of suitable quality [B]for all four[/B] operating systems. (Some Mac users are pleasingly difficult to please … to be treated as second-, third- or fourth-rate after waiting so long for a good storage system would cause a mild outcry.)
  21.  
  22. [B]Those four aside[/B]
  23.  
  24. [URL]http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/106026/8546[/URL] shows that Time Capsule runs NetBSD.
