macOS Monterey 12.1 still has memory leak issue

They are, but are ignoring it and haven't provided a fix. I have a M1 MBA w/16gbs of ram and I hate using this laptop. Between the crappy keyboard and now continuous ram issues, its ridiculous. They even made me restore it and manually move all my files over. Who knows if I have misplaced any photos or videos from over the years. After this experience and Apple's lack of care, they will not get another dime for a laptop from me; Imma buy a Dell! Mac OS Sucks anyway, so no lose on my part!

I hoped MacOS 12.4 would finally solve the memory leaks. It didn't. When I open the iTunes Store, it still prevents my Mac from working after some clicks. The warning window that my Mac has no more RAM available and that I should quit Music is still there. It is not possible to quit Music, not even force quit. After some seconds more and more apps appear in the warning window.

As you I'm tired of the software issues that appear more and more often on Apple products. I'm using Apple computer and devices for over 20 years and I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering to move everything over to Linux.

I personally don't think the memory mismanagement will be corrected in Monterey. I'm now holding out hope it's quashed in the next version of MacOS. I agree with you, Apple's software is not what it once was. Now it seems it had devolved into bugs they are unable to correct. The software problems are never ending with Apple today. That is the reality.

Could be, make sure to send Apple feedback:

systemstats memory leak since Monterey 12… - Apple Community

See my reply to your other post regarding memory leakes in Monterey. I have the same machine, iMac18,3 with 16GB RAM and an SSD. No problems with 12.2.

Also updated to 12.3 and despite initially thinking it had made a difference, I'm still having memory leak problems.

I reverted to Big Sur, my mbp was unusable. Now everything works great. :D

I am not upgrading to macOS Monterey until there is a fix . Thx for info

Anypne know if Apple is aware of this memory leak issue

Same here. 12.2 updated yesterday didn't fix anything. 2017 27" iMac with 16GB of RAM hobbled by every iteration of Monterey to date. Is Apple even acknowledging a problem?

Update to 12.2.
