MacBook Pro Owners Noticing Smoother ProMotion Safari Scrolling After Installing macOS Monterey 12.2

[sdhalpern]

Never buy the first model of a redesigned Apple product. Let other people spend their hard-earned thousands to be Apple’s unpaid QC test subjects.

I can't really notice the difference on my M1 Pro.

Update: nevermind, I don't know when this changed but my laptop was on 50 hertz refresh. Promotion works in Safari Technology Preview as well.

 

[mi7chy]

Wonder if it has detrimental affect on original M1 devices. 12.1 scrolling on MBA M1 is more janky so had to roll back to 11.6.2.

 

[Bull 07]

Much more agile and faster than Chrome.

Safari is literally snappier?

Take your upvote and get the hell out you SOB.

 

[BWhaler]

Wait, does this mean that Safari is actually snapier?

 

[JM]

Wait.... No. Did you..... No, it can't be.... Did you...... Did you just make a "Safari seems snappier" article joke?!!

Well done MR! ?

120Hz smooth scrolling has been enabled since 12.1. Cf Quartz debug

It’s enabled in all 3rd party apps (chrome, Firefox, vscode, etc)

Thank goodness! We need this update. Let’s go!!!

Craig Federighi may have listened to me and working on it based on the email I sent him on November 3rd. Over a month ago.

I emailed Steve Jobs once. I was getting frustrated because my dad was testing an app I was developing and he always reported problems that had been fixed. I would find that the app was never up to date on my dad's iPhone. To my surprise, Steve replied about 40 minutes later:

Steve,

When is auto app update coming to iOS?

Every time I check my dad's iPhone, he has 37 apps that need to be updated.

Thanks,

David

It's a bad idea security-wise.

It was a fluke.

I would keep a copy of this email forever. This is a 💎. Thank you for sharing.

How was it not working correctly on such a major, first-party app? I don't understand how these flush-with-cash companies manage to mess up things like this.

Because these companies have conditioned us, the customer, in accepting beta software at hardware launches.

I was going to say that but you were too snappy

Why oh why would you add work to their already-busy plates? It was plainly obvious to anyone with a brain that the issue was known and a fix was coming. ?

Because modern technology is EXTREMELY complex. An always-perfect rollout of new features is unrealistic and unreasonable.

Maybe if they would have given China a few billion less.

It is nice, I can scroll through the ad's faster now. You know since there are not good ad blockers anymore after they gutted extensions with Safari 12.

Dear TheYay,

I hope you are doing well. I would like to congratulate you for purchasing our beta product. So far, it has been a prosperous testing phase. Your purchase has definitely enriched our pockets. I think you and your wallet have nailed it.

Truly yours,
Craig

PS: Thanks for making our emails public, the support channel was getting hammered.

This is a ridiculous take especially because this is all little software-related stuff.

 

[auwkeung]

Can't really understand why one of the flagship features got disabled on an app we literally use the most

 

[saudor]

well even a broken clock is right twice a day ?

 

[R3k]

Yeah true actually - they definitely added it just because of your email /s

Well, I’m pretty tight with Craig myself. We were having a beer recently and he told me about this guy who sent him an email about pro-motion, went by “Yay” or such. He was surprised, said he was a little embarrassed even. Spent one sleepless night fixing the code himself. Just taking a while for the departments to slot it into the roadmap. Anyway, stand out guy.

Hahaha good one. I don’t think they are worried about emails going public. They are out there with a simple Google search.

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

how about chrome and other browsers ?

Should have been first comment. Shame it took until post 20 to see it.
