The upcoming update of macOS 12.1 from Apple should fix some minor compatibility issues between the OS and the new notch displays MacBook Pro. The problem in question is related to the menu bar, which is currently partially hidden behind the notch, since the operating system does not detect it as present. This is an annoying bug, which has caused many users to raise their eyebrows.
Apple: the macOS 12.1 update is coming
Previously, some users had reported gods problems rather bizarre, where the menu bar icons could be “pushed” behind the notch if too many applications were open. In changelog Apple’s problem is described in a much more generic way, with no reference to the possibility in which the bug may occur.
The bug however, it is quite rare, as it only occurs when users have a large number of icons active icons in the menu bar. Trivially, these icons are hidden by the notch only if they reach it starting from the right side of the display, which hardly occurs under normal conditions. That said, this app with a particularly large icon could lead you more easily in this situation.
In addition to fixing the menu bar bug, the new update also brings some other problems. Among these stand out some problems of HDR with YouTube and the MagSafe bugs on the 16-inch MacBook Pro. macOS 12.1 is still in beta, but given that the company has released the version intended for distribution to developers, the update could arrive soon, probably in the next few weeks.
The hope is that, in the days before the final distribution, Apple will be able to fix even the latest bugs that have emerged, in order to guarantee a fluid user experience free from technical problems.
