macOS Monterey (version 12) is the eighteenth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop operating system for Macintosh computers. The successor to macOS Big Sur, it was announced at WWDC 2021 on June 7, 2021,[3][4][5][6] and released on October 25, 2021.[7][8] macOS Monterey was succeeded by macOS Ventura, which was released on October 24, 2022.

The operating system is named after Monterey Bay, continuing the trend of releases named after California locations since 2013's 10.9 Mavericks.

macOS Monterey is the final version of macOS that supports the 2015–2017 MacBook Air, Retina MacBook Pro, 2014 Mac Mini, 2015 iMac and cylindrical Mac Pro, as its successor, macOS Ventura, drops support for those models. It is the last version of macOS that can run on Macs with 4GB of RAM and MagSafe 2 Macs, and is the first version to run on a MacBook with MagSafe 3.

from Grokipedia

macOS Monterey (version 12) is the twelfth major release of macOS, Apple's proprietary operating system for Macintosh computers, succeeding and preceding . It was publicly released on October 25, 2021, following its announcement at Apple's in June of that year. The release takes its name from , a coastal area in , aligning with Apple's ongoing practice of drawing macOS version names from notable locations within the state. Monterey introduced key productivity and connectivity enhancements, including Universal Control, which enables cursor and keyboard sharing across compatible Mac and iPad devices without pairing; the Shortcuts app, adapted from iOS for workflow automation on Mac; and Focus modes to customize notifications based on context. Additional features encompassed Live Text for extracting editable text from photos, Quick Notes for rapid note-taking via hot corners, and FaceTime upgrades like spatial audio and SharePlay for synchronized media viewing. These updates emphasized seamless integration within Apple's ecosystem, building on Continuity capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility for a wide array of hardware dating back to 2015 models such as iMac (Late 2015 or newer), MacBook Air (Early 2015 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2015 or newer). The operating system received ongoing security updates through at least version 12.7.6, though it has since been superseded by later releases like and Sequoia as of 2025. Monterey's rollout marked a period of transition toward dominance, supporting both Intel-based and M-series Macs, and it faced typical post-launch scrutiny over performance on older hardware but was generally praised for its refinements in and cross-device functionality.

Development

Announcement and Design Goals


macOS Monterey, version 12 of Apple's desktop operating system, was publicly announced on June 7, 2021, during the keynote address at the (WWDC). The release succeeded and adopted the name Monterey, drawn from along California's central coast, adhering to Apple's longstanding practice of titling major macOS versions after notable places within the state. Apple's primary design objectives for Monterey emphasized elevating user productivity via deeper ecosystem interconnectivity, particularly through expanded continuity mechanisms that facilitate fluid workflows across Mac, , and hardware. These goals reflected a strategic pivot toward cohesive, device-agnostic experiences, enabling users to leverage shared inputs like keyboards and cursors without traditional pairing rituals, grounded in the causal efficiencies of protocols and hardware uniformity. Development priorities also incorporated optimizations tailored for processors, such as the M1 chip, prioritizing on-device processing for tasks to capitalize on observed performance uplifts from ARM-based architectures over prior dependencies. This approach stemmed from empirical benchmarks demonstrating superior efficiency in unified memory systems and neural engine capabilities, aiming to streamline computational demands without reliance on cloud infrastructure.

Beta Releases and Testing

Apple released the first developer beta of macOS Monterey (version 12.0 build 21A5268g) on June 7, 2021, coinciding with the operating system's announcement at WWDC 2021. This initial build allowed developers to test new features like Universal Control and Shortcuts integration, with Apple emphasizing feedback on stability and performance through the Feedback Assistant app. Subsequent developer betas, numbering up to ten by mid-October, incorporated iterative fixes based on aggregated crash reports and system logs from testers, addressing early issues such as application crashes and inconsistent UI rendering in components like . The public beta program followed on July 1, 2021, starting with public beta 2 (aligning with developer beta 2) to broaden testing beyond developers. Public testers, enrolled via Apple's Beta Software Program, contributed empirical data on real-world usage, including metrics on boot times and resource utilization across Intel-based and Macs, which informed optimizations in the kernel to reduce occurrences linked to driver incompatibilities. For instance, later betas refined hardware-specific paths, mitigating panics reported in early builds during sleep/wake cycles on certain Intel models. These updates stemmed from causal analysis of telemetry data, prioritizing fixes for high-impact bugs like rendering glitches in . Beta development progressed through September and into October 2021, with builds such as beta 8 on September 29 and beta 9 addressing lingering UI inconsistencies and stability regressions identified in prior iterations. No major delays were publicly documented, though minor extensions occurred to resolve Safari-specific rendering bugs affecting compliance. The release candidate (RC) phase began on October 18, 2021, with RC1 (build 21A559), followed by on October 21, serving as final validation points before the stable release, incorporating last-minute refinements from tester feedback on metrics like CPU throttling under load. Overall, the beta emphasized data-driven improvements, with Apple's internal reviews of anonymized logs enabling targeted reductions in crash rates by over 20% in later builds compared to initial betas, as inferred from developer forums and .

Features and Changes

System-Wide Enhancements

Universal Control enables users to control multiple nearby Apple devices using a single keyboard, mouse, or trackpad, extending cursor movement seamlessly across screens without additional configuration beyond signing in with the same and enabling Handoff. This feature builds on existing Continuity protocols, leveraging and for low-latency input sharing between compatible Macs running macOS Monterey 12.3 or later and iPads on iPadOS 15.4 or later, supporting up to three devices total including the primary Mac. Focus mode provides customizable notification filtering to minimize distractions, allowing users to define schedules, apps, and contacts permitted to interrupt based on context such as work or sleep. It synchronizes across Apple devices via , automatically applying rules derived from user-set parameters like time of day or , thereby reducing from irrelevant alerts without fully silencing essential communications. The Shortcuts app, newly ported to macOS from and , facilitates scripting through a graphical interface for sequencing actions across system functions and third-party apps, enabling users to create reusable workflows for tasks like file manipulation or data processing. This expansion supports running shortcuts as standalone apps or via , with integration into the for quick access, enhancing productivity by abstracting repetitive operations into modular scripts. Live Text employs on-device machine learning models, powered by Core ML, to perform optical character recognition directly on photos and videos, extracting selectable text elements such as addresses or URLs for copying, translation, or interaction without cloud dependency. This processing occurs locally to maintain privacy, utilizing the device's neural engine for real-time detection in apps like Preview and , and extends to camera input for immediate text handling.

Application-Specific Updates

Safari received a redesigned interface in macOS Monterey, integrating the address bar directly into tabs for a more compact layout and introducing Tab Groups to organize multiple sets of tabs with customizable names and icons. These changes, powered by 15 and updates, aimed to improve efficiency by reducing visual clutter, though empirical tests indicated that opened tabs in groups could consume over 120 MB of memory each due to persistent processes. enhancements also bolstered privacy features like Intelligent Tracking Prevention, limiting cross-site data collection without specified quantitative memory gains verified independently. The Messages application gained support for full-screen effects such as or and bubble effects like slam or echo, applied via long-press on messages, exclusively within conversations to leverage Apple's for richer interactions unavailable in /MMS. Shared with You functionality integrated shared links, photos, and media from Messages into relevant apps like or , surfacing them in a dedicated section to streamline access, though this promotes ecosystem retention by tying content discovery to over open alternatives. Additional updates included search and Memoji stickers, aligning Mac features with for cross-device consistency. Notes introduced Quick Notes, accessible via a (Command-Control-N) or menu bar icon, allowing instant capture of ideas that auto-save to a dedicated folder and sync via , with options to link to originating apps like . Tagging support enabled organization by prefixing words or phrases with # (e.g., #project), searchable via a Tags sidebar that filters notes dynamically without altering folder structures, facilitating better retrieval in large collections. Maps added an interactive 3D globe view, zoomable to reveal against a starry backdrop on Macs, rotatable for global navigation, alongside detailed 3D landmarks and terrain in supported cities. Transit integration expanded to include key bus routes in urban maps, with one-tap schedules and future planning for multi-leg trips, enhancing utility for users beyond prior rail-focused displays. These updates prioritized visual and integration with Apple services, though reliance on data limits with third-party mapping APIs.

Accessibility and Performance Improvements

macOS Monterey introduced several enhancements to features, emphasizing usability for users with visual, motor, and other impairments. Improved Full Keyboard Access expanded navigation capabilities across apps and system elements, allowing more intuitive control via keyboard inputs alone. New cursor size options enabled users to enlarge the pointer for better visibility, while customizable pointer colors and outlines further aided those with low vision by improving contrast and differentiation against varied backgrounds. Additionally, the Markup tool gained support for adding alternative text descriptions to images directly, facilitating accessibility compliance without external apps. Voice Control received refinements, including support for additional languages such as (mainland China), (Hong Kong), French, and German, alongside improvements in dictation accuracy and processing speed for voice-based navigation and interaction. Pointer Control settings allowed for head-tracking alternatives and switch-based inputs, reducing reliance on traditional pointing devices and enabling precise control through alternative methods like camera-based head movements. These changes prioritized low-latency interactions, though empirical data on interaction times derives primarily from Apple's testing rather than independent benchmarks. On the performance side, Monterey added AirPlay Receiver functionality, permitting compatible Macs to serve as destinations for video and audio streams from iOS devices, which streamlined cross-device workflows by enabling wireless mirroring with minimal setup overhead. Enterprise-specific optimizations included enhanced stability and throughput for clients in high-performance storage configurations, addressing bottlenecks in shared file systems. However, user reports frequently highlighted inconsistencies, such as Finder lag on mechanical drives, underscoring that gains were context-dependent and not universally realized across hardware. No broad codebase streamlining, like Carbon API excision, occurred in Monterey, as deprecation predated it in prior releases.

Hardware Compatibility

Supported Devices

macOS Monterey requires Mac models equipped with at least 4 GB of RAM and 35 GB of available storage space to accommodate installation and core features, as determined by Apple's testing for performance stability and resource utilization. These thresholds ensure adequate handling of -wide enhancements, such as multitasking and on-device processing for features reliant on modern hardware capabilities. The operating system supports Intel-based Macs starting from mid-2015 models and all Apple Silicon-equipped devices available at launch, reflecting Apple's empirical validation through internal benchmarks for processor efficiency, graphics rendering, and . Specifically, compatible hardware includes:
  • iMac: Late 2015 and later models.
  • iMac Pro: 2017 model.
  • MacBook Air: Early 2015 and later models.
  • MacBook Pro: Early 2015 and later models.
  • MacBook: Early 2016 and later models.
  • Mac mini: Late 2014 and later models.
  • Mac Pro: Late 2013 and later models.
  • Apple Silicon Macs: MacBook Air (M1, 2020), MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020), Mac mini (M1, 2020), and iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021).
Monterey represents the final major macOS release supported on certain older configurations, including 2015–2017 and models, the 2014 , 2015 , and 2013 , based on Apple's hardware lifecycle testing that confirmed marginal viability for subsequent versions. Pre-2015 models are excluded due to insufficient performance in verified benchmarks for graphics APIs and processor tasks essential to Monterey's baseline operations.

Compatibility Limitations and Exclusions

macOS Monterey discontinued support for numerous older Mac models, including all iMacs prior to mid-2012, Mac Pro models before late 2013, and Airs before 2012, due to their inadequate processing capabilities, limited RAM configurations, and absence of modern hardware like the T2 chip, which hinder efficient handling of enhanced system protocols and feature demands. Apple's exclusion rationale centers on maintaining optimal performance and stability, as older architectures struggle with the operating system's increased reliance on unified and hardware-accelerated APIs, a pattern observed in prior releases where support typically spans 6-8 years to simplify codebase maintenance and reduce testing overhead. The ongoing absence of 32-bit application compatibility, established since and upheld in Monterey, compelled users dependent on legacy software—such as older games, utilities, and professional tools—to either update to 64-bit equivalents, employ workarounds, or forgo the applications entirely, as the system exclusively supports 64-bit binaries for enhanced and . This shift, while enabling architectural advancements like improved , disrupted workflows for those with unmaintained 32-bit dependencies, with pre-transition audits via tools like System Information revealing substantial inventories of affected software across user bases. Several Monterey features faced deliberate limitations on Intel-based Macs, including FaceTime's Portrait Mode, on-device dictation without cloud dependency, AirPlay streaming to Mac, and enhanced Maps rendering like interactive globes and 3D city views, primarily because these leverage hardware-specific optimizations in Apple Silicon's integrated GPU and neural engine for real-time processing unattainable on discrete Intel components. Universal Control, for instance, exhibited partial functionality constraints on older Intel systems owing to codec incompatibilities—such as reliance on ProRes over H.264 for low-latency multi-device syncing—highlighting trade-offs in Apple's tight hardware-software coupling that prioritizes seamless integration on newer platforms at the expense of backward compatibility. Performance analyses corroborated these exclusions, with Intel-equipped Macs experiencing measurable lags in feature-heavy tasks under Monterey, often 20-50% slower in benchmarks compared to equivalents due to inefficiencies in thermal throttling, , and dispatch, thereby justifying the strategic emphasis on custom silicon to deliver causal efficiencies in cohesion over universal hardware agnosticism. This approach, though critiqued for accelerating , empirically bolsters reliability and innovation velocity by concentrating resources on architectures capable of sustaining long-term updates without proportional degradation.

Release History

Initial Release

macOS Monterey version 12.0 was released to the public on October 25, 2021. The update was distributed as a upgrade accessible through the Software Update panel in System Preferences on eligible Mac hardware. The installer totaled approximately 12 GB, necessitating adequate free disk space—typically over 35 GB including temporary installation files—for successful download and deployment. Apple facilitated the rollout via its servers, with no publicly documented staging to segment user access despite the potential for high concurrent demand. Initial adoption metrics were not disclosed by Apple in immediate post-release statements, though third-party analytics later indicated gradual uptake among compatible devices running prior macOS versions.

Major Updates and Security Patches

macOS Monterey received several point releases following its initial launch, with version 12.1 issued on December 13, 2021, introducing features such as SharePlay for synchronized media sharing, the Voice Plan subscription, enhanced parental safety tools in Messages including communication limits, and redesigned Memories in the Photos app. Subsequent updates like 12.3 in March 2022 added support for Universal clipboard improvements, new emojis, password management enhancements in , and Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for compatible M1 Macs, alongside removal of legacy Python 2 support. Later point releases shifted emphasis toward security hardening and bug resolutions, addressing vulnerabilities in components including , Kernel, and Apple Neural Engine. For instance, macOS Monterey 12.7, released September 21, 2023, patched 19 CVEs, including kernel code execution flaws (CVE-2023-41984, CVE-2023-41992) that Apple stated may have been actively exploited against versions prior to iOS 16.7 and equivalent macOS releases, with fixes involving improved memory handling and privilege checks. These updates typically resolved 20 to 40 vulnerabilities per release, targeting real-world threats such as zero-day exploits in rendering engines and sandbox escapes, often credited to independent researchers via Apple's vulnerability reporting program. Incremental security patches continued through 2024, with macOS Monterey 12.7.3 on January 22, 12.7.4 on March 7, 12.7.5 on May 13, and the final 12.7.6 on July 29, focusing on input validation, bounds checking, and permissions to mitigate risks like out-of-bounds writes and unauthorized data access in subsystems such as CoreGraphics and EndpointSecurity. While these updates enhanced resilience against documented exploits, including those linked to CVE-2024-27831 in RTKit, they did not introduce substantial new features, prioritizing stability over expansions that could risk regressions observed in earlier changelogs, such as transient issues in app compatibility post-update. Apple's release cadence ensured ongoing protection for supported hardware until the cessation of updates for Monterey, aligning with empirical patterns of patching high-impact flaws observed in the wild.

End of Lifecycle and Support Termination

macOS Monterey reached the end of its official support lifecycle in November 2024, following Apple's typical pattern of providing updates for approximately three years after initial release. The final update, version 12.7.6, was released on July 29, 2024, addressing vulnerabilities in components such as kernel frameworks and , after which no further patches have been issued as of October 2025. This cessation leaves Monterey systems exposed to newly discovered exploits without vendor remediation, increasing the risk of unauthorized access or data compromise, particularly for users handling sensitive information. Apple's support model for macOS versions, which historically spans 2-3 years of fixes post-major release, aligns with Monterey's timeline since its 2021 debut, effectively pressuring users toward hardware upgrades compatible with newer iterations to maintain patched environments. Empirical observations from prior EOL versions, such as , indicate heightened vulnerability to zero-day attacks once updates halt, as evidenced by sustained exploitation attempts documented in reports for unsupported systems. Institutions have responded by enforcing upgrades; for instance, the terminated internal support for Monterey on November 22, 2024, citing the absence of ongoing updates as a compliance hazard under data protection standards. Similarly, UCSF IT phased out assistance by November 1, 2024, highlighting non-compliance with institutional policies. Continued use of Monterey post-EOL relies on user-implemented mitigations like network isolation or third-party tools, though these cannot replicate Apple's comprehensive patching, underscoring the causal link between extended reliance on legacy software and amplified threat exposure in an ecosystem where macOS maintains over 20% among desktops. , for example, ended support on November 30, 2024, explicitly warning of unpatched vulnerabilities and ceasing troubleshooting for affected devices. This pattern reflects broader enterprise trends, where EOL designations trigger policy-driven migrations to avert regulatory penalties associated with insecure endpoints.

Reception and Impact

Critical Reviews

Professional reviewers generally assessed macOS Monterey as a stable but evolutionary update to , with scores reflecting incremental refinements rather than transformative changes. The Verge awarded it an 8/10 in November 2021, praising its polish and integration of features like Shortcuts while critiquing the lack of groundbreaking desktop-specific innovations, noting that many promised capabilities, such as enhanced Continuity, felt underdeveloped at launch. rated it 4.5/5, highlighting additions in security and collaboration tools but emphasizing its role as a bridge to future optimizations rather than a standalone leap. Empirical benchmarks underscored modest performance gains, particularly for devices. On M1 Macs, Monterey delivered battery life improvements of approximately 5-10% over in mixed workloads, attributed to refined and optimizations, though real-world tests on -based systems showed negligible or inconsistent uplifts due to architecture-specific limitations. Critics noted that while M1 optimizations enhanced efficiency—evident in sustained multi-threaded tasks where M1 models outperformed equivalent counterparts by up to 2x in battery-constrained scenarios— users experienced parity frustrations, with features like Universal Control exhibiting latency and incomplete resolution support in early evaluations. Safari's privacy enhancements, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention expansions and IP address masking, drew mixed empirical scrutiny for balancing protection against usability. Reviews commended the Privacy Report feature for transparently logging blocked trackers, but some analyses highlighted overreach, where aggressive cross-site blocking disrupted site functionality without proportional user benefit, prompting debates on utility trade-offs in non-technical workflows. appreciated the rethinking of local wireless automation but critiqued incomplete implementation, positioning Monterey as a foundational but unfinished step toward deeper harmony.

User Adoption and Feedback

macOS Monterey experienced significant adoption in the period following its public release on October 25, 2021, aligning with a broader upturn in macOS usage worldwide during 2022, when the operating system's overall desktop reached approximately 21%. Usage peaked in the months leading up to the October 24, 2022, launch of , after which Monterey's share declined as compatible users upgraded, though some elected to remain on Monterey citing perceived stability advantages over Ventura. User feedback aggregated from forums such as and highlighted mixed experiences, with reports of improved stability and snappier performance relative to for certain Intel-based systems, contrasted by instances of regressions including warmer operation and elevated CPU usage. A TidBITS survey indicated limited engagement with new features like Focus mode, used frequently by only 13% of respondents and never by 72%, suggesting modest uptake despite its intended utility for notification filtering. Common complaints centered on resource demands, particularly a affecting processes like loginwindow and WindowServer, which led to gradual RAM exhaustion and required workarounds such as disabling features or restarting affected apps. Adoption trends showed slower uptake among Mac owners, attributable to Apple Silicon's superior efficiency and exclusivity of features like receiver functionality to M-series chips, resulting in comparatively diminished performance for equivalent tasks on older hardware.

Market and Ecosystem Effects

macOS Monterey bolstered Apple's ecosystem cohesion by introducing Universal Control, allowing users to operate an as an extended display and from a compatible Mac without cables, which encouraged greater integration between Mac and hardware and deepened user lock-in to Apple's proprietary Continuity features. This functionality, requiring and proximity, facilitated workflows like dragging files across devices, thereby increasing pairings among owners of multiple Apple products and reinforcing the premium on ecosystem-wide purchases over cross-platform alternatives. The operating system's optimizations for accelerated the M1 chip transition, with exclusive features such as enhanced Live Text processing and spatial audio collaboration limited to M1 and later Macs, sidelining models and incentivizing hardware upgrades to access full capabilities. Released alongside M1 Pro and M1 Max announcements in October 2021, Monterey's engineering unleashed performance gains on these chips, contributing to Apple's shift away from dependency and boosting Mac sales during the two-year transition period ending in 2022. Amid competition from Windows 11's October 5, 2021 launch, Mac's global desktop OS held steady at around 15% through Monterey's primary support years (2021-2023), supported by Apple Silicon's efficiency and battery life advantages that differentiated Macs from Intel-based Windows PCs. Enterprise adoption trends showed faster deployment of Monterey compared to prior versions like , aiding Apple's expansion in business segments where macOS share reached 23% by 2021 surveys. Monterey's hardware requirements, supporting only 2015 and later models while excluding older Macs like 2014 iMacs, empirically hastened device by rendering viable hardware incompatible, compelling upgrades and sustaining Apple's revenue from new sales rather than extending legacy support indefinitely as sometimes portrayed. This pattern pressured developers to prioritize 64-bit optimizations inherited from Catalina's 2019 of 32-bit apps, further entrenching the ecosystem's evolution toward exclusivity without Monterey-specific reversals.

Criticisms and Controversies

Stability and Bug Reports

Upon release of macOS Monterey 12.0 in October 2021, users reported frequent kernel panics resulting in abrupt system restarts, particularly on Intel-based Macs connected to external peripherals or in graphics-intensive scenarios. These panics were documented across Apple Support Communities and forums, with logs often pointing to driver conflicts rather than hardware faults. Prevalence appeared higher than in , as aggregated forum threads showed dozens of similar incidents within weeks of launch, though Apple did not publicly quantify or attribute them in . UI glitches, including recurrent Finder crashes and QuickLook failures, manifested as semi-system stalls every few hours in versions 12.3 through 12.4. Affected users described partial Finder functionality (e.g., no drag-and-drop or copy-paste) alongside beachballing in apps like Messages and blank windows, necessitating reboots for temporary resolution. A in Finder's search feature exacerbated these, causing CPU spikes to near 100% and potential freezes during short-term queries, impacting both and systems. Battery drain was a prominent in early 12.0 installations, especially on M1-series Macs, with users noting drops from full charge to 60% or lower within 3 hours of light use. inefficiencies contributed, draining charge overnight until mitigated in 12.2.1 via Bluetooth-related fixes. Forum analyses linked this to unoptimized background indexing and new feature overhead, contrasting with more stable in . Multi-monitor setups exhibited regressions, such as failure to retain display arrangements across reboots and intermittent crashes in dual-display modes, prompting some users to revert to Big Sur. These were not universal but recurrent in user reports from late 2021, potentially stemming from updated display drivers interacting poorly with legacy configurations. Initial implementations of Continuity enhancements, including Universal Control in 12.3, correlated with some instability reports, as early versions exhibited faltering connectivity and resource strains before stabilization in 12.4. Apple addressed many flaws through incremental updates without formal acknowledgment in public bug trackers, relying instead on user-submitted feedback via Feedback Assistant. User forums like MacRumors characterized Monterey's early stability as inferior to Big Sur's, with regressions tied to feature integrations outpacing driver maturity.

Upgrade and Compatibility Issues

Users reported boot loops and installation failures during early upgrades to macOS Monterey, particularly on Intel-based Macs with third-party SSDs, where the update's firmware upgrade process encountered errors without bricking the device if the drive was in read-only mode. These issues stemmed from the installer's inability to complete updates on non-Apple storage, necessitating workarounds like temporarily reinstalling an original Apple SSD for the upgrade before swapping back. In July 2021, during the beta phase, institutions warned against installing Monterey previews due to its complete removal of 32-bit application support, which broke legacy software without transitional compatibility layers present in prior versions like Catalina. Post-release, the 12.0.1 update included fixes for related installer behaviors, alongside security patches, mitigating some initial deployment hurdles. Upgrade processes carried risks of data inaccessibility during failed installations, though empirical evidence shows Time Machine backups effectively enable full system restores to pre-upgrade states, preserving files and configurations when performed immediately before attempting the update. Compatibility challenges extended to peripherals, with printers from vendors like HP, Canon, and Brother frequently failing to connect or print until manufacturer drivers were updated for Monterey's framework changes. Third-party applications and USB devices, including hubs, also faced disruptions, often resolvable via vendor patches but highlighting Monterey's stricter hardware-software integration requirements.

Security and Longevity Concerns

Apple provided security updates for macOS Monterey until September 16, 2024, with the final release being version 12.7.6 on July 29, 2024, which addressed vulnerabilities including those in the ImageIO framework that could lead to or app termination from maliciously crafted files. Prior patches, such as in 12.7.2, also fixed ImageIO issues enabling potential code execution during image processing. These updates mitigated known exploits during the active support period, but post-end-of-life, Monterey users face unpatched (CVEs) discovered after 2024, heightening risks from targeting outdated systems. Monterey's support duration of approximately three years—from its , release to —contrasts with longer cycles for competitors; supported for about ten years with security updates until October 2025, while distributions often receive indefinite maintenance through community efforts. Critics attribute Apple's shorter windows to , arguing that tying advanced security features and hardware optimizations to newer silicon forces premature upgrades, as evidenced by Monterey's exclusion from post-2024 zero-day patches like those for actively exploited flaws in shared frameworks. This approach prioritizes ecosystem control over extended software longevity, leaving compatible Intel-era hardware vulnerable once support ends. Post-EOL empirical risks include exposure to zero-day vulnerabilities without requiring visits to malicious sites; for instance, 2024-2025 exploits in components like ImageIO were patched for supported versions but remain open in Monterey, potentially allowing sophisticated attacks via crafted media files encountered in routine use. Community analyses highlight that even cautious users on end-of-life macOS face escalating threats, as unpatched flaws accumulate and enable or , underscoring the causal link between halted updates and diminished security posture.
