After doing the latest update to new sonoma in macbook air m1, The OS become slow. In setting when i move from one setting to another there is a delay of 1 sec it takes time to load it up. like when i move from battery setting to wifi setting its black out and load after 1 sec. There is another issue like when I am at one window of chrome it automatically moves to side window
I also encountered this when my MacBook Pro (without my permission) upgraded to Sonoma 14.2.1. The whole UI froze for about a second once every 8 seconds or so. I then installed the 14.3.1 update and luckily, this has solved the issue. This must have been the ‘performance issue’ reported to be fixed in the 14.3 update.
I installed the Sonoma 14.4 update and I thought the UI hiccups were gone. However, they are still there, nothing has been remedied. It's just that they don't occur when the SheepShaver emulator is also running. I give up on trying to find some kind of logic behind this… 🤯
Update: I did upgrade my new Macbook Air M1 to Sonoma the latest version. I must say that I didn't notice any non-normal on my battery usage since I'm not using this for everyday, I guess. and the allocation of the MacOS is 19.08 GB, the system data is 10.71 GB. As of now since I've got more than 20GB applications and documents, it took around 55.35GB of my 256GB storage
OK, after hearing first-hand from the developer of a certain popular audio rerouting tool that Apple has fixed certain audio-related bugs in Sonoma 14.5, I installed it right away. This time, I have waited a few days to be really sure, but I will now carefully claim (without any warranties, I have learnt from the past) that at least the problems I experienced, are gone. I can now play any music with the window visible, and the UI will not stutter and wheeze.
Good job, Apple, 👍 but please, next time don't introduce such bugs in the first place…
Our three, all 2020 Intel models (2 27" iMacs and 1 13" MacBook Pro) run very well. So fast it surprised us.
Running for 48 hours now seems stable and operating normally.
My M2 base model with 8GB Ram, Chrome gets very very slow. Sometimes it even does not respond after the update.
mine too
Mine M1 Max is very very slow too, horrible
Agree. Reminds me of Windows 3.0
Windows? What's Windows?
By looking at the replies I am sticking with Monterey. The UI, speed, and stability is still the best.
How did you switch back to ventura?
I am staying on Monterey. No issues whatsoever.
