Ah that would explain why I didn’t know. I have next to no experience with Apple devices.

Look into it, it’s pretty good.
And Apple updated hundreds of millions of devices to it from an old file system without losing any data. Imagine Microsoft pulling off such a migration. It was silently done in the background with a normal OS update. Really impressive.

No, it’s garbage because of its approach to case sensitivity.
It’s case insensitive by default (which is a WTF in itself and encourages the same laziness Windows users thrive on with NTFS) but it also has a case sensitive mode.
Except the case sensitive mode is almost entirely useless because of the amount of apps it breaks that assume the default case-insensitive mode. It also means that you as a programmer have to add extra crap to your file handling code for case insensitive string comparisons if you want to support both modes

It’s used on popular toys and consumer gadgets. Most well to do tech nerds don’t bother with such riff raff either.
