macOS Monterey 12.1 Fixes Major Tap to Click, YouTube HDR, and Charging Bugs

Apple needs to focus more on bugs and issues or put more focus on their software. It’s so biggy nowadays. They keep on releasing new products and new technologies. If they don’t fix their software people might hesitate to upgrade or keep buying from them.
Issues I want to see resolved on my 14" MacBook Pro:
- Memory leaks
- A slight dip in audio about 2 seconds into Youtube videos
- Safari 120Hz
How about the memory leak, SD card reader issues and systemwide 120hz Promotion…
I agree with you that I think they should focus on bugs and polishing their software over adding more features. But I don't think it's that bad for bugs, given the complexity and interconnectedness of Apple's devices. I find far more issues with Windows.
macOS Montery can handle HDR content.
However that's just the system OS.
Content from the source local file or streaming must be provided by the service provider. If that code in the medium (stream) or the source app that is displaying the source (Chrome/Safari/etc) is displaying HDR content correctly, and the OS is not 'getting it' that's what needed to be fixed I guess.
PS: How is tap-to-click a something "Major" or a major bug?
even with accessibility constraints/restrictions one could just click, right? (well those with MS may not be able to- thinking while typing).
Until they address and fix the ridiculous memory leak, I won’t buy one. Hoping they get it handled soon.
The 12.1 update also introduces new bugs, such as kernel panics during sleep.
The washed out interface thing is a Windows thing. macOS has been able to display HDR since High Sierra. It's even better in Monterey now and with XDR displays.
Wish I could have. I couldn’t do that due to buying a notch mac
Just updated. I can confirm that:
1. Tap to click by itself is working, same as beta 4.
2. 3/4 finger swipe to switch desktop is working. Haven't seen the bug behavior in the first 5 mins at all so thinking it's fixed.
3. HOWEVER, `cmd + tap` is NOT fixed on the 14" MBP. Having to tap 3 times, just as before, to get it to work.
This modifier key + tap issue hasn't been resolved on the 14" for well over a month now, and it's become really frustrating. I can't use tap to click if it isn't going to be reliable on one of my most frequent use-cases such as opening links in the background (something most of us hundreds of times/day)
If you are facing the same problem on your 14" MBP, please report it via the Feedback Assistant so they'll pay attention to it. We all paid upwards of $2K for this device, we should not have to put up with this for months.

On my new 14-inch MacBook Pro, I have an issue where Mission Control stops working and I need to restart it via Terminal. Has this happened to anyone else?
memory leak, the one issue I care about. That needs to be fixed pronto.
2021 and periodic reboots still have to be a thing.
No it doesn’t it’s the same as my old intel iMac it is not smooth
