Customers of macOS Ventura, the predecessor to macOS Sonoma (the newest working system for contemporary Macs and MacBooks), have found some issues after putting in the most recent replace, macOS Ventura 13.6.6. The replace was launched on March 25 alongside Sonoma model 14.4.1. Apparently, these seeking to improve macOS Ventura had been met with firmware-related points (firmware refers to software program parts that bridge a tool’s {hardware} and software program).
Ventura is the final macOS system that many older Mac fashions can run, as macOS Sonoma solely helps Macs and MacBooks from 2018 onwards (the iMac Professional from 2017 can also be supported), so updates for the older working system are particularly essential for safety and performance causes.
For the reason that replace’s launch, customers have taken to web sites like Apple’s group boards to specific their dissatisfaction with Ventura 13.6.6. GottaBeMobile has cataloged numerous these posts which debate points together with Wi-Fi connectivity points, electronic mail issues, Time Machine backup points, points with customers’ shows, noticeable lag within the person interface (UI), issues with exterior equipment, points with each first-party apps (apps by Apple) and third-party apps reminiscent of Microsoft Groups, and extra. In keeping with GottaBeMobile, that is only a choice and half of a bigger variety of issues that customers are going through with Ventura 13.6.6.
GottaBeMobile checked for itself how Ventura 13.6.6 runs after its launch on a 2017 MacBook Professional, confirming different customers’ studies of frustration-inducting lag within the UI.
Now, affected customers are hoping to see one other replace for Ventura that may put issues proper, however this might take some weeks. Till then, customers must attempt options instructed by others, reminiscent of turning Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and off, restarting the system, and others. Nonetheless, if these points are brought on by a basic drawback with the Ventura replace, these options could solely be non permanent.
Hope for a fix-filled replace
Apple is at present creating and testing new software program variations for a variety of its merchandise, together with Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, and others, that are anticipated to be launched in Could, or presumably at WWDC, its software-centric convention in June.
It’s possible we’ll see macOS 15, the follow-up to macOS 14 Sonoma, at WWDC, and macOS Ventura could get an replace round this time to repair these issues.
As Apple presumably sees Ventura as a legacy working system, it’s unlikely to make a giant track and dance over any replace (particularly if it is to repair embarrassing bugs) when it could moderately showcase the newest model of macOS.
I hope that Apple hears person suggestions, because it’s fairly loud and clear, and takes time to repair Ventura. I perceive that very similar to its friends, Apple is eager to push for customers to replace to newer {hardware} and software program, however on this financial local weather, which may not be potential for many individuals. Within the meantime, it ought to make it possible for prospects who can’t improve to the newest model of macOS are nonetheless sorted.
