I don't, actually. However, I also have never had an issue with an update in the 15 years I've been using Apple products as my primary devices.Do u needed a news about bricked macs to realize it? I stopped updating from more than a year, both iphone and macs, tired of new bugs released. Now i only update ONCE when i get a new device. So i’m sure it will work in the same way for the upcoming years
We can only assume Apple already factored-in this inevitable side-effect of making a completely irreparable machine and decided it will affect so few computers that it will be of little consequence. We'll see how this pans out. My 2012 MPB non-retina is still soldiering on at ten years old, on its third battery and second HDD cable, my iMac is even older and has had a graphics card replacement...wonder how these new completely irreparable wonder-machines will compare in ten years.When everything is soldered, almost any kind of internal repairs pretty much mean logic board replacement (vs replacing just the affected parts).
Have fun with your pile of glaring security vulnerabilities.Now i only update ONCE when i get a new device. So i’m sure it will work in the same way for the upcoming years
MobileMe? Or even iCloud for that matter? Admittedly a lot of went hopelessly wrong with iCloud is developer-facing rather than user-facing, but even still, it's pretty bad.Since October 5, 2011.
What my takeaway is WHY did Apple replace Logic Board on a high end MBP during the first year?This is embarrassing. Sometimes I wonder how this software makes it through beta phases. No doubt, a new software update will be out very soon by Apple.
Well, try googling "SOCD report detected: (AP watchdog expired)" ...Why are brand new M1 Macs needing new logic boards? That’s the bigger story MR that needs to be explored.
I've been trying to get attention for this issue since I had the issue on Monday night so very happy to see it finally be reported!Not sure what happened but this update failed concurrently on two of my Macs, neither with LB replacements.
One, my personal MacBook — 16" 2021 M1 Max. The other, my work MBP, 13" 2018 Intel (4 port).
Started upgrade of both at the same time, made dinner, came back, both stuck on the Apple progress bar screen. No movement after one additional hour, no time estimate. Hard reboot of both, same issue.
Followed Apple's guidelines:
- Boot into recovery, disk check, reboot. Failed.
- Boot into recovery, reinstall. Reinstall failed.
- Boot into external drive with macOS 12.3 installer. Reinstall failed.
- Revive firmware from other Mac. Reinstall macOS. Reinstall failed.
Only resolve I had for both machines was to nuke via the DFU "Restore" method. Luckily had Time Machine backups for both from that day.
No idea what went wrong and why both failed.
From what I've seen from other people with the issue, it's either customer damage, or things like faulty ports. The HDMI ports are still solders on the board - that was my case, my Mac came with a bent HDMI pin.Why are brand new M1 Macs needing new logic boards? That’s the bigger story MR that needs to be explored.
It's not your imagination. It has plummeted so far that they are unrecognizable as Apple to someone who has been with them for a long time.Is it my imagination or has quality control been on a downhill slide over the last few years at Apple?
I somewhat do the same thing. After the release of Lion a decade ago, I've always been a couple OS updates behind just because I don't want crap to happen. I'm on Mojave on my Mini and it'll probably stay there forever.Do u needed a news about bricked macs to realize it?

SECURITY ahahahhahah! Where do u work? In a big IT company, in a bank, or in the goverment???Have fun with your pile of glaring security vulnerabilities.
I'm curious to know which versions of Windows. Windows 10 is vastly more stable than macOS Monterey.Do you think those kind of issue happens much less on other platforms? I work with about 200 Windows PSs just for one of many company, I see the worst daily.
What’s a handful of devices in a production run of millions?Anyone but me more concerned that so many nearly new Macbooks have needed a logic board replacement at, what, five months old at most?
First of all the reason i don't update aren't the bad news about updates. In fact, every new update fixes previous ones so the normal behaviour is, like i did for a whole life: updating, updating, updating.I don't, actually. However, I also have never had an issue with an update in the 15 years I've been using Apple products as my primary devices.
I do understand that reading forums like these is an extremely narrow world view, so every article claiming that an update is bricking or damaging machines is a fraction of a fraction of a percent of all machines out there.
The bugs I see are minor graphical glitches more than anything; annoying, but never game-breaking.
I’m pretty sure it’s not your imagination. I’ve never been more frustrated with Apple products than I have been the last few years, and I have the whole ecosystem. And we just learned that they can’t even launch a monitor, one of the simplest products to engineer, without screwing it up.Is it my imagination or has quality control been on a downhill slide over the last few years at Apple?
