Well, when I updated from previous MacOS to Monterey on my 2016 MBP, it also bricked my Mac. It was a pain to get Apple to recognize and replace at their own cost, but I know many others that had same issue but were out of luck trying to get Apple to replace their bricked pcs. Those idiotic updates that also include firmware are just awful. I’m here HOPING for a HUGE MASSIVE LAWSUIT against Apple for this. This is THE ONLY WAY they will try to fix how those updates are done.,(reply>), @TheOnline Thing Well if you move over to PC you will find out how inconvenient apple products are..<br>That's what I discovered myself.,(reply>), @I game I do research too Nah, it‘s pretty convenient, but way too expensive,(reply>), @TheOnline Thing That's a valid reason, sorry to hear that though, I hope it isn't that painful.,(reply>), @I game I do research too Well, I need apple products to get my work done.,(reply>), To be fair, a lot of prebuilt Windows PC's update their firmware/bios/UEFI through Windows Update too so potentially the same issue could happen.
