Apple’s last update to macOS Sonoma resolved several bugs and issues, but millions of MacBook, iMac, and Mac users are still waiting for Apple to fix numerous bugs on their computers. I’m waiting for you.
The latest update to macOS Ventura contains multiple issues that make it difficult to use your Mac. Reported issues include Wi-Fi and BlueTooth connectivity issues, Time Machine backup failures, UI lag, TouchID issues, and various issues with first-party and third-party apps.
Ventura is not the latest version of macOS, but it is the latest version that runs on millions of Macs and MacBooks that are still in support. If you have an Intel-based Mac from 2017 or earlier, macOS Ventura is as high as it gets as Apple continues to release code updates and security patches.
Apple continued to sell Intel-based Mac hardware until June 2023, when it launched the first Mac Pro with ARM-based Apple Silicon. Back in 2017, Apple shipped his 19.7 million Macs, which was a slight increase from his 18.6 million in 2016, the majority of which were his MacBooks, MacBooks. It was an Air, MacBook Pro laptop.
There’s a general consensus that MacBooks last an average of 5 to 8 years (deskbound Macs have a slightly longer life expectancy). While some users may have upgraded their hardware in the meantime, there are still millions of active Macs that may be affected by the latest issues introduced in macOS Venutra 13.6.6. Masu.
This week, Apple moved new versions of iOS 17.5, watchOS 10.5, and macOS Sonoma 14.5 into beta testing. This means it will be fully available to the public in a few weeks. macOS Ventura updates typically launch alongside macOS Sonoma updates, so it could be well into May before potential fixes arrive for the millions of affected Macs. Sho. And that assumes all issues can be addressed in the next release.
In the meantime, if you still have the option to update to macOS Venutra 13.6.6, please consider that option carefully. It provides the latest security patches, but comes with quite a few issues.
