Timeline for Is it true that we could dual boot Mojave and Catalina, in the same APFS partition, and they don't have to have fixed sizes?

The same with having Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur. | |

In other words, Apple probably to taking macOS a certain direction with each new release. Therefore, one can assume APFS has been designed to accommodate any planned future releases. | |

When Apple introduced the first Intel based Macs, there was JHFS+ partitions. Eventually, Core Storage storage partitions were added. The lastest addition has been APFS. I can not predict where Apple will be by 2022. | |

| Nov 12, 2020 at 22:54 | comment | added | nonopolarity | thanks for the info. So basically, once we get a pure APFS machine (such as the new M1 Macbook), then we can just ignore doing any partition, and one year later, when macOS 2021 comes out, install it onto the same container, and when macOS 2022 comes out, do that same, and that Macbook can then triple boot (3 macOSes on the same machine)? | |
