Apple Music on Mac to get smoother in future update

Ever since Apple Music usurped the iTunes app on macOS, it’s still used the legacy code and web asset base that build the now retro music app. This has led to the app looking nicer than it functions, but it appears Apple has a plan to solve this issue.

A recent leak uncovered by 9to5Mac discovered that in the code for the recent macOS 12.2 beta, it looks like Apple is rebuilding the desktop version of Apple Music using AppKit, the app-building framework the company uses for many of its other Mac apps. 9to5Mac has also discovered that the company is using JET to help turn the web content into a native app.

The update shouldn’t change how Apple Music looks in a drastic way, but rather how quickly it functions. This means that search results should appear more quickly and scrolling should be smoother.

The publication also notes that Apple recently retooled the Apple TV Mac app with JET and AppKit in macOS 12.1.

macOS 12.1 update to fix MacBook Pro (2021) notch issues

Apple’s MacBook Pro (2021) is a nearly flawless laptop.

It features a powerful M1 Pro/Max chip, the return of MagSafe/ anSD card slot and a stellar 120Hz screen that, unfortunately, also features a display notch.

While the screen’s notch mostly fades into the background after the first few hours of using the MacBook Pro (2021), some apps still interact strangely with it and get pushed beyond the notch.

According to MacRumors, macOS 12.1 will solve this problem. In Apple’s changelog for the update, the tech giant says that it has solved an issue where “[menu] bar extras may be obscured by the camera housing on 2021 MacBook Pro computers.” For example, the app I use to control my Elgato Ring Light via my Mac constantly hides behind the display notch despite me not having a lot of apps running in the menu bar.

Along with fixing the menu bar bug, the update also seems to solve a MagSafe charging bug with the 16-inch MacBook Pro and several HDR issues with certain apps.

The update is currently available in a developer beta but will likely roll out to all users in the next few weeks. For more on the MacBook Pro (2021), check out my review of the laptop.
