In a significant update for macOS 28, Apple has introduced the ability to convert encrypted HFS+ drives directly to APFS. This change eliminates the need for users to decrypt their drives before performing the conversion.
This new feature is particularly beneficial for users who rely on encrypted HFS+ drives, streamlining the process and enhancing compatibility with the latest macOS version.
The update reflects Apple's commitment to improving user experience and security, making it easier for users to transition to the more modern APFS file system.
