I switched to Apple devices back in 2009 with the introduction of the first iPhone and unibody laptops and have owned many machines ever since. I always tend to stay 1-2 system versions behind as I really value stability and reliability of my systems rather than the new functions. For the last 2 years I’ve been using Catalina on my MBP 2015, 2018 iMac and my wife’s MBP 2016. I would stick to Catalina for longer but since some apps have recently dropped support or even stopped working completely I was sort of forced to update again. I went for Monterey as it’s 2 versions behind the newest one plus the last macOS working with the 2015 laptop so I thought it should be all fine. But I’ve been so disappointed with the system!! It seems full of bugs even in the Apple software like Mail or Safari!!! And that is 2 years after introduction and with lots of previous updates.
Furthermore, I seem to have lost the very simple drag-n-drop function that has been on the Macs forever and that has differentiated the Macs since early 2000s! I used to be able to drag and drop attachments/images/files between all my messenger apps, email, safari etc and now I found out it rarely works like it used to before.
I don’t even want to mention that slowing down of my computers which have been super fast and smooth until now…
Could someone explain me if it’s something wrong with me if Apple has started making worse OS’s while forcing people to update or is it the old machines problem so I should just throw away all 4 of my Macs and get new ones even though the old machines are still great! :(
