macOS Monterey was announced at WWDC 2021 in June 2021, with a public beta in July and an official release on October 25. macOS Monterey enables 'universal control ' that allows you to seamlessly operate multiple Macs and iPads and move data back and forth using a single mouse or keyboard by simply placing the iPad next to your Mac. , Portrait function and 'tab groups' feature, such as a variety of new features in Safari of FaceTime has been installed , but, on the other hand some of the functions in the also be not available in the Intel-based Mac has been reported .

Meanwhile, one week after the official version was released, there are reports that 'Macs with Intel CPUs will become bricks after the update'.

Someone who posted to Apple's support Twitter account as of October 26, 'I really need help. I updated my MacBook Pro and it shut down and I can't get it back.'



A person who actually posts the state of a Mac that has become a bricklayer after the update.



'Never update until Monterey stabilizes! My MacBook Air purchased in early 2015 may power down after 5 minutes or even while it's booting. It's no longer usable.' Some people called on Twitter.



Bricking has been confirmed primarily on Intel Macs that did not have the Apple T2 chip shipped before 2018, and are not expected to affect Macs with the M1 chip. The first and foremost way to deal with a brick-and-mortar situation on these Macs is to contact Apple Support, not at the time of writing the article. Also, if a Mac with an Apple T2 chip becomes bricked, there is also a way to restore the firmware using DFU recovery mode.

However, for those who haven't updated yet, the best way is to 'don't update until Apple has fixed a major bug,' news media Ars Technica wrote.

In addition to the above, users have also reported that 'Control Center occupies 20GB of the 64GB memory capacity of the new MacBook Pro.' Apple hasn't announced that macOS Monterey has changed the way memory management works, but it's seen as an obvious anomaly, as the Control Center typically consumes around 50MB of memory.
