When will Apple be releasing a patch for my lightning cables?

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

Does this include the 'double wide'? The foldable puck and watch charger too?

Still waiting on the Polishing Cloth firmware update. 😑

GOOD MORNING!

I know you jest, but just stay tuned... 😏

GOOD MORNING!

Keep an eye out for an update soon!

Update for (hopefully) soon to be released iPad Pro?

(Wishful thinking on my part)

 

[tufapshakur]

GOOD MORNING!

Keep an eye out for an update soon!

Whenever I hear someone yelling GOOD MORNING at me with a bit too much enthusiasm, I fear for my bank balance.

Personally waiting for Service Pack 1

How do I see which version I have installed on the MagSafe charger on my 2022 MacBook Pro?

GOOD MORNING!

That's interesting! Whenever I say it, I have the opposite fear about my bank balance. I have no idea why!

I had my MagSafe charger in my 2018 MacBook 15 inch pro. No change with either the phone attached to puck or without phone attached (looking at USB system report). Does it need the phone connected to the puck while it is connected to MacBook. I came in and the puck went uncharging to the phone so have left in just the puck an looking at the system report currently. I seem to remember last time I just left it all plugged in but it has been a bit since the last update.

UPDATE: I decided to reboot the MacBook and then looked at the MagSafe charger. It was not connected. So I disconnected it and then put back in and shortly it reappeared in the USB system report and it was updated to the 255 (shows as a 2.55 in this readout. I guess MacBook was needing a reboot refresh or something but now all is well.

Used a A to C adapter and plugged it into my Catalina 2013 mbp and by the time I opened System Information it said just 255, so I guess it properly updated, no .0.0.0 (who knows)

GOOD MORNING!

Keep an eye out for an update soon!

Thank you Tim Apple!

It is well known how to update this firmware. Leave it connected to an iPhone overnight or connect it to a Mac for an immediate update.

Didn't work for me

 

[ndouglas]

Lol seriously, I know by the web site name “Macrumors” they mean it verrrrrrry, broadly, but this is broader than broad.

 

[NM08SRT8]

Wait, what? How do you do it? Don't have one but curious.

He said there is NO clear way to upgrade the firmware..

 

[svish]

Wonder what has changed with this firmware update.

Safari seems a bit snappier

Wish they would give us the release notes.

Never. For security reasons the firmware update in lightning cables is hard coded into the cable. You have to buy a new one for every update.

My uncle who is a Euro MP told me we will be able to download a USB-C update by 2024.

 

[SoldOnApple]

I noticed that Safari was running snappier after the MagSafe firmware update. I wonder if this will be auto moderated like every other time I say "Safari is running snappier"...

 

[pauloregan]

Windows now recognises the MagSafe charger after the update. 🎉🥳👯‍♂️👯‍♀️

I could not get the firmware to install until I had MagSafe attached to MacBook Pro USB-C port AND MacBook Pro on its own charger AND MacBook Pro connected to the internet. Then the install happened quickly.

Mine was like that except until I rebooted my macbook it would not do the firmware update. I also had to unplug the MagSafe charger after the reboot and plug it back in for the MacBook to see it, but almost instantly the update finally happened. I know some did not need to do this but I suppose it was just one of those times after a long time of not rebooting I needed to clear something out?
