Recently, Mac users have been reporting that, after upgrading to macOS 12 Monterey, their computers bricked.

 

 

Mac owners being charged by Apple for the repair

However, some users report that they are being charged by Apple for a repair of their bricked Mac

Hmm, with news like this, I think I’ll stick with macOS Catalina as my final upgrade.

I don’t believe I would buy another one with that type of Customer Care from Apple. I’m glad I got a great deal on this one I have now. It’s a little old but still working great. I could probably fix that “working great” by upgrading to Monterey and bricking the Mac. ROFLMHO
