NIANTIC'S 'HARRY POTTER: WIZARDS UNITE' AUGMENTED REALITY GAME SHUTTING DOWN
Tuesday November 2, 2021 3:04 pm PDT by Juli Clover
Niantic has experienced major success with augmented reality game Pokémon Go, a
title that still has a loyal fanbase, but unfortunately, its Harry Potter-themed
game has not fared as well. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is going to be shut down
on January 31, 2022 as a result.
First introduced in June 2019, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite allows players to
join the Statute of Secrecy Task Force to explore Wizarding World locations in
the real world, similar to Pokémon Go.
Players need to go to landmark locations in the real world to track down magical
artifacts, creatures, and enemies to battle and level up. The game uses
augmented reality to project portals and other items onto real-life landscapes,
and there are real-time cooperative elements involved.
The game will be removed from the App Store on December 6, 2021, which is also
when in-game purchases will be disabled. As a last hurrah, starting on November
2, several changes will be implemented to make gameplay more fun.
Daily assignments will provide increased rewards, potion brewing time will be
cut in half, the daily cap on sending and opening gifts will be removed, and
various items and ingredients will appear on the map more frequently.
November and December will also see the launch of several events involving
Dolores Umbridge, Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix LeStrange, and Voldemort, along with
a holiday event. The game will wrap up, with the Calamity coming to an end
before the app is shut down for good.
Players who invested money in the game will not be able to get a refund, but
they will be able to spend their remaining balances and use their items before
the January end date.

COLORWARE NOW OFFERING CUSTOM-PAINTED AIRPODS 3 STARTING AT $319
Tuesday November 2, 2021 1:45 pm PDT by Juli Clover
ColorWare, known for its customization offerings for AirPods, Xbox controllers,
Nintendo Switch components, and more, today introduced custom-painted AirPods 3.
AirPods 3 are available in a range of custom paint colors, including bright
glossy shades, metallics, and matte colors. Every color of the rainbow is
available, as are various shades of black, silver, and gold.
Each AirPod can be painted a different color, and the case can be customized in
a different shade as well. Custom paint jobs for the AirPods are priced at $319,
but the price goes up to $369 when adding in the case too. AirPods are priced at
$179 direct from Apple, so getting a custom color is at least $140 more
expensive.
Still, even at that price point, ColorWare is the only way to get AirPods that
are not white because Apple still does not offer AirPods in black or other
colors.
With ColorWare's painting, all of the AirPods 3 features remain intact such as
MagSafe connectivity for the case, spatial audio, adaptive EQ, and more, and the
paint does not impact the functionality.
Custom AirPods 3 can be ordered from ColorWare starting today, and they will
ship out in about two to three weeks.

NETFLIX TAKING ON APPLE ARCADE WITH OFFICIAL GAMES LAUNCH ON ANDROID
Tuesday November 2, 2021 10:58 am PDT by Juli Clover
Netflix today announced the full official rollout of its Netflix Games feature,
which will allow Netflix users to play a handful of games on their mobile
devices.
At the current time, Netflix is making games available for Android users, but
support for iOS is "on the way." Netflix says that it's early days, but its goal
is to build a library of games offering "something for everyone."
Games available today include "Stranger Things: 1984," "Stranger Things 3: The
Game," "Shooting Hoops," "Card Blast," and "Teeter Up."
> 🎮📱 Let the Games Begin📱🎮 Tomorrow, Netflix Games will start rolling out on
> the Netflix mobile app. First on Android, with iOS on the way. It’s early
> days, but we’re excited to start bringing you exclusive games, with no ads, no
> additional fees and no in-app purchases. pic.twitter.com/ofNGF4b8At — Netflix
> Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) November 2, 2021
Accessing games on Netflix requires a Netflix subscription, and there are no
ads, additional fees, or in-app purchases, which is how Apple's gaming service,
Apple Arcade, operates. Android users will now see a dedicated games row and
games tab in the Netflix app, and will be able to select games to download and
play.
It's not clear how the iOS version of the app will work. Netflix can have a
"catalog" app like its main Netflix app (or a separate Games app) that lists
gaming titles, linking out to games that can be downloaded from the App Store.
Alternatively, Netflix can use a web-based solution, but games would need to be
streaming titles.
Netflix says that it will continue to improve the mobile gaming experience in
the coming months, but there is no word yet on when Netflix's games will come to
iOS devices.

FACEBOOK SHUTTERING FACIAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM, WILL DELETE DATA FROM OVER A
BILLION USERS
Tuesday November 2, 2021 10:43 am PDT by Juli Clover
Facebook is shutting down its Face Recognition system and will delete the facial
data of more than 1 billion of its users, Facebook parent company Meta announced
this morning.
People who opted in to Face Recognition will no longer be automatically
recognized in photos and videos, and their facial recognition templates will be
deleted.
According to Facebook VP of Artificial Intelligence Jerome Pesenti, Facebook is
making this change because it needs to weigh the positive use cases for facial
recognition against growing societal concerns" as regulators "have yet to
provide clear rules."
Facial recognition has been available on Facebook since 2011, and at the time
that it debuted, Facebook turned the feature on automatically for more than 500
million people. The option, called Tag Recognition at the time, was designed to
recognize Facebook users in photos and videos posted by other users, tagging all
of the people in the photo.
There were immediate privacy concerns with the launch of the feature, which have
persisted to this day. Facebook in December 2017 introduced an expanded Face
Recognition feature and with it, an opt-out option.
Facebook says that more than a third of Facebook's daily active users have
facial recognition enabled, and the change required "careful consideration." It
will disable an Automatic Alt Text feature for blind users that automatically
provided the names of people in photos.
Though Face Recognition in its current incarnation is shutting down, Facebook
will continue to work on facial recognition technologies.
> Looking ahead, we still see facial recognition technology as a powerful tool,
> for example, for people needing to verify their identity, or to prevent fraud
> and impersonation. We believe facial recognition can help for products like
> these with privacy, transparency and control in place, so you decide if and
> how your face is used. We will continue working on these technologies and
> engaging outside experts.
>
> But the many specific instances where facial recognition can be helpful need
> to be weighed against growing concerns about the use of this technology as a
> whole. There are many concerns about the place of facial recognition
> technology in society, and regulators are still in the process of providing a
> clear set of rules governing its use. Amid this ongoing uncertainty, we
> believe that limiting the use of facial recognition to a narrow set of use
> cases is appropriate.
Face Recognition and the features that it enables will be officially removed
"over the coming weeks." When disabled, people will no longer be automatically
recognized in photos, and will no longer see suggested tags.

APPLE'S FORMER DESIGN CHIEF JONY IVE TO SPEAK AT WIRED EVENT NEXT WEEK
Tuesday November 2, 2021 8:32 am PDT by Joe Rossignol
WIRED has announced that Apple's former design chief Jony Ive will sit down with
Vogue's longtime editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to discuss his latest endeavors,
the future of design as he sees it, and more at the virtual RE:WIRED event next
week.
Ive's conversation with Wintour will take place Tuesday, November 9 at 9:30 a.m.
Pacific Time. Registration for the event is free and available online.
> Our world is facing some of the most critical challenges of all time. While
> the last decade ushered in dramatic technological acceleration, the last 18
> months have kicked off a tectonic societal shift in how we live, work, and
> connect.
>
> Generating sustainable and strategic solutions to these challenges—from both
> communal action and heroic innovation—requires us to rewire discourse and the
> way we think. This is RE:WIRED.
>
> Join us this November for a series of conversations between technologists and
> people who think hard about the consequences for those technologies on
> society, economics, sustainability and, ultimately, our future.
Ive left Apple in 2019 to form an independent design company LoveFrom with
fellow designer Marc Newson. Apple said it would remain one of Ive's primary
clients, but it's unclear which Apple products he has helped to design since his
departure from the company. Apple did confirm that Ive was involved with the
design of the colorful 24-inch iMac released in April, but it did not say if any
of that work occurred after he left Apple.
LoveFrom has reached multi-year design partnerships with brands like Airbnb and
Ferrari.
Ive's participation in RE:WIRED was spotted earlier by 9to5Mac. Other speakers
at the two-day event will include CISA director Jen Easterly, actor John Cho,
EVgo CEO Cathy Zoi, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, and more.

APPLE SAYS FOURTH-GENERATION IPAD RELEASED IN 2012 IS NOW OBSOLETE
Tuesday November 2, 2021 6:51 am PDT by Joe Rossignol
Apple classified the fourth-generation iPad as an obsolete product as of
November 1, meaning the device is no longer eligible for hardware service
worldwide, according to an internal memo obtained by MacRumors. The
fourth-generation iPad has yet to be added to Apple's public-facing vintage and
obsolete products list, but it should be soon.
Released in November 2012 alongside the original iPad mini, the
fourth-generation iPad did away with Apple's classic 30-pin connector and
adopted the Lightning connector that had debuted in the iPhone 5 just weeks
earlier. The fourth-generation iPad also gained Apple's A6X chip for up to twice
the CPU performance and up to twice the graphics performance of the A5X chip in
the third-generation iPad that had launched in March 2012.
Apple also classified the Late 2012 model Mac mini as an obsolete product as of
November 1, according to the memo.

DEALS: AMAZON'S PRE-BLACK FRIDAY SALES CONTINUE WITH $29 OFF APPLE PENCIL 2, $10
OFF APPLE TV 4K, AND MORE
Tuesday November 2, 2021 6:44 am PDT by Mitchel Broussard
Amazon is continuing its pre-Black Friday discounts from yesterday with a new
collection of solid markdowns on Apple products and accessories. Today we're
tracking sales on Apple Pencil 2, Apple TV 4K, and the MacBook Air.
Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors. When you
click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us
keep the site running.
APPLE PENCIL 2
Following a deal at Verizon late last week, Amazon is now providing the best
current deal on Apple Pencil 2 at $99.99, down from $129.00. This sale is a
match of one of the lowest prices that we've ever tracked for the Apple Pencil
2, and as of writing it's only available on Amazon.
$29 OFF
Apple Pencil 2 for $99.99
We very rarely see the Apple Pencil 2 dip below this sale price, so if you've
been on the hunt for one at a discount, now's a great time to buy. The Apple
Pencil 2 is compatible with the following iPads: iPad mini (6th generation),
iPad Air (4th generation), 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations),
and 11-inch iPad Pro (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations).
APPLE TV 4K
Next, Amazon has the 32GB Apple TV 4K (2021) for $169.00, down from $179.00.
This is the second-best price that we've ever tracked on this model of the Apple
TV 4K, and it's been the most consistent discount on the accessory.
$10 OFF
32GB Apple TV 4K for $169.00
You can also get the 64GB Apple TV 4K for $189.98, down from $199.00. We've seen
this Apple TV 4K discounted by an additional $10, so this sale is another
second-best price. Both of these Apple TVs are sold by Amazon, and they're in
stock and ready to ship today.
MACBOOK AIR
Lastly, you can get the 256GB M1 MacBook Air for $899.00, down from $999.00 in
all three colors of Gold, Silver, and Space Gray. This is currently the best
price available online among the major Apple resellers, and overall it's the
second-best price we've tracked.
$100 OFF
256GB M1 MacBook Air for $899.00
The 512GB M1 MacBook Air is also on sale, available for $1,149.99, down from
$1,249.00. Similar to the 256GB model, this is a second-best price on this 2020
MacBook Air. Both notebooks are shipped and sold directly from Amazon.
Head to our full Deals Roundup to get caught up with all of the latest deals and
discounts that we've been tracking over the past week.

FIREFOX 94 BRINGS UPDATED HOMEPAGE ON IOS, BATTERY SAVING MODE ON MAC
Tuesday November 2, 2021 6:00 am PDT by Juli Clover
Firefox today released Firefox 94 for iOS devices, which introduces a new
homepage design that adds several quality of life improvements to the browser.
Firefox says that the new features are designed for "short bursts of online
interactions that are constantly interrupted by life."
The update adds a feature that jumps back to the last open active tab so you
don't lose what you were browsing when you close the app, and recently saved
bookmarks are easier to find and get to.
All of your recent searches are also now grouped by topic, so you can return to
something you were researching with just a tap.
Firefox is also planning to add a way to get rid of tabs that are no longer
relevant to you. When this feature releases on iOS in the coming months, tabs
you have not visited in the last 14 days will be moved to an inactive state
where they're still viewable, but they no longer clutter the tab view.
On the desktop, Firefox 94 adds 18 new themes to choose from with six new
limited-time seasonal colorways, and it uses Apple's low power mode for
fullscreen video on YouTube and Twitch to extend battery life for long viewing
sessions.
There's also a new Site Isolation feature to protect Firefox users against
side-channel attacks like Spectre.
The iOS version of Firefox can be downloaded from the App Store, and the Mac
version can be downloaded from the Firefox website.

TRIO OF FRIENDS CREATE MISSING MACOS WALLPAPER OF MONTEREY LANDSCAPE
Tuesday November 2, 2021 5:53 am PDT by Tim Hardwick
Apple bucked a trend when it unveiled macOS Monterey in June featuring an
abstract wallpaper graphic, breaking an eight-year tradition of using a photo of
the natural landscape that inspired the latest Calfornia-themed version name.
This change came as a shock to YouTuber and photographer Andrew Levitt and his
friends Jacob Phillips and Taylor Gray, whom together have made recreating macOS
wallpapers something of a tradition.
Once the trio of friends had come to terms with the new abstract wallpaper, they
concluded that it was supposed to represent Monterey Canyon, which is deep
underwater and impossible to photograph. So, instead they decided to create
their own Monterey landscape, but finding the right shot came with its own
problems, as their intrepid video diary explains.
play
After several false starts, the group eventually found an ideal location – Lone
Cypress on Pebble Beach – and, using time-lapse photography, were able to create
a not only a still image but also a dynamic wallpaper that changes according to
the time of day.
"Missing" Monterey Dynamic Wallpaper
They have since made both the still shot and the dynamic version available to
download. The following steps explain how to install the dynamic version of the
Monterey wallpaper.
1. Click the Apple symbol in the menu bar and select System Preferences....
2. Click Desktop & Screen Saver in the preferences pane.
3. Select one of the official wallpapers that come with macOS, such as
"Catalina," "Big Sur," or "Monterey Graphic," and set it to Dynamic.
4. Open a Finder window and navigate to the "macOS Monterey.heic" wallpaper you
downloaded.
5. Right-click (or Ctrl-click) on the file and select Services -> Set Desktop
Picture from the contextual menu.

NOTABILITY USERS FRUSTRATED BY SWITCH TO SUBSCRIPTION MODEL CLAIM VIOLATION OF
APP STORE GUIDELINES
Tuesday November 2, 2021 3:07 am PDT by Tim Hardwick
Notability users have been left frustrated and annoyed after the developer of
the popular Mac and iOS note-taking app revealed on Monday that it has switched
to a subscription-based model, and that key features included in original app
purchases will stop functioning after one year.
Previously available as a one-off $8.99 purchase, Notability for iPhone, iPad,
and Mac is now free to download on the App Store, but not all the features are
available in the "freemium" version, and those that are included have editing
limitations.
To get "the full Notability experience" offered by version 11.0 of the app now
requires an annual $14.99 subscription, which includes unlimited note taking and
access to additional features that are otherwise available as in-app purchases.
As far as it affects current users who purchased the full app, key features will
become non-functional after one year, after which they will have to subscribe to
retain the feature set they originally paid for. In other words, no
grandfathering scheme is currently being offered. Addressed to those users, a
Medium post from the Notability Blog explains:
> Thank you for your support all these years. You will be able to continue using
> Notability as you do now for the next year for free. You will continue to have
> access to any items or technology you previously purchased. If you would like
> access to more premium content or technology like MyScript's Handwriting
> Recognition and Math Conversion, you may choose to subscribe at any point.
> After the year is up, you can choose to become an annual subscriber or use the
> free version of Notability.
Thousands of Notability users have taken to Twitter and Reddit to express their
frustration with the unexpected change.
> Hi, just to get this straight:
> - I've purchased Notability
> - I've purchased Hamdwriting recognition (IAP)
> - I've purchased stickers & Notebooks (IAP)
> Now, in one year you'll force me into a subscription scheme to use functions

> 1, 2021
As many users have pointed out, on the face of it, the change appears to violate
Apple's App Store Review Guidelines, which state "if you are changing your
existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away
the primary functionality existing users have already paid for." We've reached
out to both Notability and Apple for comment.
Notability has garnered an Apple Editors' Choice spot and is regularly a
top-ranked app worldwide on the App Store. The app has gained widespread
popularity with students and teachers alike, as it includes a variety of
note-taking, journaling, and drawing tools, and can be used to mark up imported
documents.
The other popular note-taking app for iOS and Mac that Notability is often
compared to is GoodNotes, which remains available as a one-off $7.99 purchase on
the App Store.
Several popular apps have switched to subscription models in recent years as a
way to stave off dwindling income after years of free updates, but some
developers have taken a different and less divisive approach.
For example, just over a year ago the developers of popular paid-for camera app
Halide released Halide Mark II as a whole new app, and gave it to all users of
the original app for free, with all the new features and updates free for a
year. After the year is up, the app continues to work, but to get additional
features requires an optional subscription or a one-time purchase.

APPLE REPORTEDLY USING IPAD COMPONENTS IN IPHONE 13 TO OFFSET SHORTAGES
Tuesday November 2, 2021 1:15 am PDT by Tim Hardwick
Amid long waiting times for iPhone 13 models around the world, Apple has
reportedly reallocated iPad parts to make up for shortages, in another signal
that the global paucity of chips is impacting Apple's supply chain.
iPad and iPhone share common components including core and peripheral chips,
which means Apple is able to shift supplies between the devices to prioritize
one or the other, reports Nikkei Asia.
> Production of the iPad was down 50% from Apple's original plans for the past
> two months, sources briefed on the matter said, adding that parts intended for
> older iPhones were also being moved to the iPhone 13.
Apple foresees stronger demand for iPhone 13 models, especially in the months
immediately following launch that lead into the holiday season. Nevertheless,
demand for iPads remains strong, with total iPad shipments in the first nine
months of this year totaling 40.3 million, up 17.83% from the same time a year
ago, according to IDC data.
The last time Apple prioritized iPhones over iPads was last year, when it
reallocated some iPad parts to the iPhone 12 amid supply chain constraints
during the peak of the global health crisis.
Apple's financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 revealed
all-time record revenues for Mac and Services, but Apple's performance was only
roughly in line with analyst expectations and was almost certainly held back by
component shortages that have led to lengthy shipping estimates for many
products.

LG TO OFFER FREE THREE-MONTH APPLE TV+ TRIAL ON 2016 AND NEWER SMART TVS

The trial will be available through the LG Content Store and must be redeemed by
February 20, 2022. The offer is limited to first-time Apple TV+ subscribers, so
anyone who has already trialed Apple's streaming video service cannot take
advantage of this promotion. There is a limit of one free trial per eligible LG
Smart TV and per Apple ID.
Apple TV+ normally offers a free seven-day trial, with pricing then set at $4.99
per month. Apple also continues to offer a free three-month trial of the service
with the purchase of a new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac.
Apple TV+ competes with the likes of Netflix and Disney+ by offering a slate of
original programming, ranging from the award-winning comedy series "Ted Lasso"
to the star-studded drama series "The Morning Show."

APPLE DISCONTINUES POWERBEATS, BEATS SOLO PRO, AND BEATS EP
Monday November 1, 2021 3:24 pm PDT by Juli Clover
Following the launch of the Beats Fit Pro this morning, Apple has discontinued
several older Beats headphones options, including the $150 Powerbeats, the $250
Beats Solo Pro, and the $130 Beats EP on-ear headphones.
These Beats headphone options were listed on Apple's online store as of
yesterday, but today, attempting to visit one of the links for the products
brings up a warning that the accessories are no longer available for purchase.
Twitter users noticed the absence of the Beats headphones earlier today, and it
appears they disappeared from Apple's site shortly after the debut of the Beats
Fit Pro.

Apple's beats lineup now includes the Beats Studio Buds, Powerbeats Pro, Beats
Pro Over-Ear Headphones, Beats Flex, Beats Studio3, Beats Solo3, Beats Fit Pro,
and Beats Pill+, all of which can be purchased from Apple's website.
Apple today also introduced temporary price drops for several older Beats
options, including the Beats Flex, Beats Studio Buds, and the Power Beats Pro,
which are available at discounts ranging from $20 to $50.

APPLE TO START OFFERING IPHONE XR AS LOANER DEVICE DURING LENGTHIER REPAIRS
Monday November 1, 2021 3:02 pm PDT by Joe Rossignol
Starting later this week, Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers
will be able to offer customers an iPhone XR as a loaner device during lengthier
repairs in the U.S. and other regions, according to an internal memo obtained by
MacRumors.
iPhone XR will be available as a loaner starting November 4, which will be an
upgrade over the iPhone 8 that Apple currently offers as a loaner. As a one year
newer device than the iPhone 8, the iPhone XR has more modern features like Face
ID and Dual SIM support, and the iPhone XR also has a newer A12 Bionic chip for
faster performance.
If an Apple Store determines that a customer's iPhone must be mailed off to an
Apple repair center to be serviced, the customer would be eligible to receive an
iPhone XR for free until their regular iPhone is ready for pickup.
Apple's iPhone Loan Agreement provides more details, including that customers
must return the loaner iPhone no more than 14 days after the date that Apple
notifies them that their repaired iPhone is ready for pickup.

APPLE DISCOUNTS BEATS STUDIO BUDS, BEATS FLEX, AND POWERBEATS PRO
Monday November 1, 2021 12:38 pm PDT by Juli Clover
Apple is offering discounts on several of its Beats headphones options in the
United States, dropping prices from $20 to $50 depending on the product. The
Beats Flex, Apple's most affordable Beats headphones, are available for $50 at
the current time, a discount of $20 off of the regular $70 price.
Beats Flex are earbuds with a wire between them, and they come in blue, black,
yellow, and gray. Apple first introduced Beats Flex in October 2020 with a $50
price point, but prices went up in September due to rising component costs.
Beats Flex are now back at their original pre-increase price.
Apple has also dropped the price of the Beats Studio Buds and the Powerbeats
Pro. Beats Studio Buds are available for $130, a $20 discount off of the
original $150 price.
Apple introduced Beats Studio Buds in June 2021, and they were the first
Beats-branded wire-free earbuds designed to compete directly with the AirPods.
Apple today unveiled the Beats Fit Pro, its second-generation totally wire-free
earbuds with ANC, and those earbuds sell for $200 and are not discounted at the
current time.
The biggest discount is available on the Powerbeats Pro, Apple's wire-free
earbuds with earhook to keep them in place. The Powerbeats Pro are available for
$200, a $50 discount off of the regular $250 price.
Apple's Beats discounts are listed as "special" deals that will be available for
a limited amount of time. Apple today also kicked off its holiday shopping
season with an extended return policy. All purchases made from November 1, 2021
to December 25, 2021 can be returned to Apple through January 8, 2022.
Amazon is also price matching Apple on all of the Beats discounts. The Beats
Flex are available from Amazon for $50, and the Beats Studio Buds are available
for $130. Amazon is offering even lower prices on the Powerbeats Pro, with the
black, ivory, red, and navy shades available for $150.

STUDENT MODS AN IPHONE X TO ADD A FUNCTIONAL USB-C PORT
Monday November 1, 2021 12:18 pm PDT by Juli Clover
Apple seems to have no plans to replace the iPhone's Lightning port with a USB-C
port to bring it in line with Macs and iPads, but robotics student Ken Pillonel
spent months hacking an iPhone to add a USB-C port.
play
In early October, Pillonel shared a video demonstrating the "world's first
iPhone with a USB Type-C port," and now he's shared a second video explaining
how he pulled it off.
Pillonel explains how he built a proof of concept and the steps that he went
through to design a functional USB-C port that actually fit inside the iPhone.
It's a technical video, but it does walk through all the steps for those who are
interested and for those who might want to attempt their own modification.
The modded iPhone X with a USB-C port is being auctioned off on eBay, with
Pillonel guaranteeing a functional phone on arrival. Buyers are forbidden from
updating or erasing the iPhone, opening it up, or using it as a daily phone.
So far, the bidding has exceeded $800.

USERS REPORTING 'MEMORY LEAK' ISSUES AFTER UPDATING TO MACOS MONTEREY
Monday November 1, 2021 10:32 am PDT by Sami Fathi
Some users who recently upgraded to macOS Monterey are experiencing a bug known
as a "memory leak," a scenario in which a specific macOS process or application
is bugged out and stays running for prolonged periods in the background,
consuming abnormally high amounts of memory or RAM.
It's difficult to pinpoint precisely what models of Mac computers are affected;
however, the range is relatively wide, including the newly released 14-inch and
16-inch MacBook Pros. Reports on Twitter, Reddit, the MacRumors Forums, and the
Apple Support Communities consist of users reporting their Mac warning that the
system has "run out of application memory" or that specific applications are
consuming ridiculously high amounts of RAM in Activity Monitor.
Some reports call out the macOS Control Center as the main culprit, with
YouTuber Gregory McFadden sharing a screenshot of Control Center using up to
20GB of RAM on their 64GB M1 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro. Other users are also
sharing similar experiences on the MacRumors Forums and Reddit.
> So glad I got 64GB of memory on my new Mac so I can use 26GB of it for control
> center... Wait... what. pic.twitter.com/inCOPaii1o — Gregory McFadden
> (@GregoryMcFadden) October 28, 2021
Another cluster of related reports includes Mozilla Firefox. As shown in the
tweets below, Firefox for some users is taking up incredibly high amounts of
memory, as high as 80GB for one user.
> @FirefoxSupport
> Firefox has a memory leak! macOS 12.0.1 (21A559)
> Firefox 93.0 (64-bit)
> MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) pic.twitter.com/fC7fNRv7jE — y (@y80481629)
> October 27, 2021
> @AppleSupport got any idea what this is about ? m1 Mac mini 8gb safari does it
> too. I've restarted I've ran CleanMyMac x I've tried everything I know to do
> pic.twitter.com/TXNuEn3ayl — BayekAuditore (@Bayek_Auditore) October 29, 2021
Excluding Firefox and Control Center related reports, more widespread reporting
from users across different platforms suggest the more common bug is the pop-up
"Your system has run out of application memory."
The pop-up is seemingly being shown to users despite minimal use of their Macs
with considerable amounts of memory to spare. In some instances, some users have
suggested that restarting the Mac helps, while others say the pop-up reappears
shortly after. A user on the Apple Support Communities noted their experience:
> Since downloading Monterey I receive repeated messages "your system has run
> out of application memory". This is only occurred since downloading Monterey.
> When examining activity monitor pages seems to be the main culprit using up 18
> GB and more! Is this evidence of a memory leak for Pages with Monterey os?
> Restart makes no difference.
Mac users on the MacRumors Forums (1, 2, 3, 4), the Apple Support Communities
(1, 2), and Reddit, are noting similar experiences. Just earlier today, we
reported on user reports that the macOS Monterey update is bricking some older
Mac computers. Given that and issues surrounding memory usage for some users, it
may be best for users still on macOS Big Sur to wait until the second version of
macOS Monterey before upgrading.
