What They Say
Apple has hit snags with an OS upgrade to macOS Big Sur, which is reported to have been bricking some late 2013 and 2014 MacBook Pros. (see this MacRumors forum thread).
We have also heard from app developers that say that the new OS is not yet supported.
MacRumors said
“One commenter on Reddit said that they were told by Apple support to book their MacBook Pro in for a repair. Another on an Apple Support thread said that the issue has been escalated to Apple’s engineering team, so Apple should now be aware of the problem.”
What We Think
It’s always a risk to do this kind of update, but it won’t help Apple’s reputation with long term Mac users who are fond of pointing out how long their Macs remain usable. (BR)
