@AppleSupport @Apple this is not the way a simple OS update should go on a Mac. On my 50th restart with some sort of incremental install of #Monterey and a dead iMac. Can’t even restore from TM because I can’t even get to the migration app. Crazy

@Apple So, installing #macOSMonterey literally killed my 2020 16in #MacBookPro . No boot. No nothing. Dead. 18mo old... How long is it supposed to work these days? :(

Guys, update at your own risks...
New Story: macOS Monterey is bricking some older Mac computers as they try and update to the latest macOS version, rendering them entirely unusable. Newer Apple silicon-based Macs are not seeming to have any issues. Details: https://t.co/5ZenhdOwbm pic.twitter.com/BV325Rw1Kn

@AppleSupport ever since downloading Monterey OS my macbook pro doesn’t turn on anymore ?

Can we be careful with our use of the term "Bricked"? If you can restore the firmware and get working again, that's not bricked.

That would be me.

But with a late 2019 MacBook Pro. https://t.co/pNv0Wl19SC
Be careful if you want to install Mac OS Monterey. It could break your Mac!

By the way, anyone found an interesting feature in it? I upgraded and found nothinghttps://t.co/vrDEe7xlXN
2019 #Apple #MacbookPro bricked again, second time in two years. Wow. Ports continue to stop working, not allowing charging, which bricks this. Can’t reset SMC because there’s no power going in. What else could help me determine I bought a lemon??? #applesupport @AppleSupport

Hey @AppleSupport what’s going on with Monterey on my MBP Pro 19? Just installed rebooted and bricked

@AppleSupport my MacBook Pro 2108, 13" 4 Ports not turning on at all since yesterday's update. I've called yesterday, and again today, no other information than "an update is going to be released 'soon' that should resolve issues". How am I going to install that on a dead Mac?
