The installer I downloaded was from the Brasil Apple store, and WAS the full Sierra installer. No idea why Apple decided to prevent customers from downloading it.
However for me, it gave a lot of problems with Apple Mail, well documented by other users online. So, I went ahead and updated to High Sierra.
Today I find out anyone can login using "root" and no password.
That's kind of why I usually hold off a bit before updating to Apple's latest offerings.
Ok, so I found a download on one of the online stores. All 5gb of it. v10.12.6.03. Is that the latest version?
I really can't why Apple should be so pedantic. From what I've read the current version is still a bit hairy. Not making this one easily available is going to mess a lot of people (customers) up.
Thanks for the help!
Oh, I hope not. It’s downloaded from an Apple online service. An Apple store. Online.
It’s still available online but Apple won’t let its customers have it. That’s their prerogative, I just think it’s not a good way to treat customers.
Yeah, you got me thinking, so now I'm downloading the 10.12.6 combo updater, which IS called "macosupdcombo10.12.6.dmg". And it looks like it's only 1.98 Gb, so I'm hoping the Sierra installer, (actually called "Install macOS Sierra.app"), which I downloaded from another Apple app store, is not malware.
And it's 5.03 Gb, so looks real enough. If not, you guys get the last laugh.
If that is what they call the "Combo Updater" it won't be of any use to you. That only updates existing installations of 10.12.
From what I've read the current version is still a bit hairy.
You should avoid reading the click bait.

Enjoy the Malware bundled with it.
What is the link?
I downloaded a copy from one of the Apple app store sites. Sounds like it's a crime. Jesus, what's happened to people.
There is only one App Store site. It doesn't have a download for Sierra.
Not a crime. People would like to know how you managed to get it from Apple.
Post the link where you got this Sierra full installer.
