Apple laptop users report slow performance and intermittent Wi‑Fi connections, as noted by a technology portal
Users of MacBook models equipped with the M1 and M2 chips have experienced degraded Wi‑Fi quality, sporadic interruptions, and in some cases complete loss of internet access. The issue also disrupts the Apple Wireless Direct Link interface used by AirDrop and AirPlay, preventing those services from functioning properly.
In many cases, the problems have been most noticeable in busy office environments where a large number of devices on the same local network communicate with each other. Home setups, by contrast, rarely exhibit the same level of impact, suggesting that the network load created by dense Mac ecosystems on a single LAN may contribute to the failures.
Reports began surfacing shortly after a security update for macOS Ventura was released, though users running macOS Monterey have encountered similar symptoms as well. Apple has acknowledged the issue and is working toward a fix, but a formal patch release date has not been announced.
Additionally, there have been occasional, unverified claims circulating about product listings in various markets. For instance, one outlet noted that Apple stores in certain regions had expanded to offer non‑tech items such as vacuum cleaners and drones, a report that remains outside the core issue but has contributed to public chatter around Apple’s retail strategies.
