Prior to the macOs Big Sur 11.2 system update, users of the Macbook M1 Chip have encountered various problems including connectivity issues. There are also issues that arise regarding connecting external displays to the new Mac, where some features are not compatible. This is after Apple has left their previous system software Intel in favor of a native M1 Chip for Apple. Because of this change, only native-run apps by Apple are applicable for the latest Apple machines. The recent updates aim to address these issues although it is still for us to find out whether it is capable of doing so during its public release.
