After being introduced at WWDC 2021 last June, Apple finally released its latest desktop operating system (OS) update, macOS Monterey to the public on October 25. However, the macOS 12 OS update seems to be equipped with a problem (bug) that makes a number of older Mac computers (MacBook to iMac) completely bricked. At least that’s what a number of MacBook users have been complaining about on Twitter recently, after they updated their macOS from Big Sur to Monterey.
Some users of MacBooks and MacBook Pros manufactured in 2020 and below, for example, said that their devices died completely after installing the macOS Monterey update. There is also a 2015 MacBook Air user who said that his device turned off after five minutes of use. When you want to use it again, the device sometimes won’t even turn on. In addition to portable computers, iMac users also experience the same problem. A user who owns a 2017 iMac says his computer shuts down completely after restarting after updating the OS to macOS Monterey.
What models are affected?
For your information, macOS 12 supports the following models of Mac computers:
• MacBook, early 2016 and later
• MacBook Air, early 2015 and later

We’ll just wait.
