![]() The device even seems to run cooler, I have no explanation for that, someone else may have.īUT, there are some cautions here. Natural text-to-speech in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish.īut hey, it's hard to miss what you never had right? The high-detail globe view for Apple Maps. Improved city maps for San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London. Live Text in photos, whereby users can interact with text within images as if they were any other text. I don't have the T2 security chip in this model MBP.Īs I expected there are a host of missing features that rely on the new M series to run I have tested it on Monterey and it boots without a problem but do be aware of the T2 issue with later Mac Books. This was a bit of overkill really, I merely wanted to see if it could be done before recommending it to others. In addition I successfully created a bootable USB thumb drive of BS using a freshly downloaded BS installer via and Install Disk Creator from macdaddy.io Time Machine works perfectly after erasing the previous Big Sur (BS) backup as is my habit after a major upgrade, I retain a bootable Carbon Copy Cloner version of BS 13.6.1 just in case. There are a lot of small refinements like this to pre existing features but all up this has turned out to be a positive experience with no down side for me.Īlso I should add I've had no compatibility issues with any of my apps, some did suggest updates, and no unauthorised shutdowns since upgrading (this may be a coincidence).
