For example, Mac user nuoptik wrote in Apple's support community that when nuoptik tried to update to macOS Big Sur, he could see that the Mac had no status bar and was barely backlit. It is said that it has become the state of. When nuoptik forcibly shuts down the Mac because there is no other way, after that, it seems that it can not be started because it does not say anything.

Symptoms like the one above are common on the 13-inch MacBook Pro released in late 2013 to mid-2014, 'these models are the oldest models supported by macOS Big Sur.' Mac Rumors points out. Some people who interacted with Apple's support claim that the problem was communicated to the engineering team, but Apple has yet to provide a clear cause or solution. The exact number of users of these models is unknown, but it is believed that those users should forgo updates to avoid issues.

In addition, many other problems have been reported in macOS Big Sur, and problems such as being unable to install updates or slowing down the OS have occurred due to server problems.
