DURRHURR... Boring troll.

macOS 12 (Monterey) has been remarkably stable and relatively
problem-free compared to prior releases for most people. It's been a
terrific release overall.

Cue the "I found this one bug, therefore macOS 12 is hOrRiBlE and
tErRiBlE!1!" trolls in 3... 2... 1...

Doctors reported him to be stable.

Google proved that to be a fact - where even Apple couldn't deny the facts.

Since Apple has _never_ even once tested any iOS release sufficiently...
Why would anyone expect Apple to _start_ testing iOS in iOS 15.x?

"As millions of iPhone owners begin to upgrade, serious problems

Only an apologist would stoop so low as to claim iOS is a tested release.

First of all, the pointer customization in accessibility is not new.
Second of all, I always have that turned on, and the so-called memory
leak was not noticeable. I heard it was most a problem for Chrome (or was
it Firefox? Doesn't matter, I no longer use either of those browsers)
users. Anyway, it as not an issue on my 2015 MBP running Monterey or my
M1 mini running Monterey.

The ability to change the colour of the pointer was a new addition in
Monterey, and on 12.0.1 I was getting excessive memory usage in multiple apps until I reverted to the default colour and size.

If you weren't affected, great for you, but I was and it was a bummer for me.

I mean... clearly you were trolling. You didn't mention any specific
problems. You just trolled. It's okay to admit it. Something pissed you
off and you trolled a post about updates. It is what it is.

I got hit by the memory leak linked to the new pointer customisation
options under Accessibility, and that has been fixed now.

That's nice to hear. I've never felt the need to colorize my cursor. A
quick shake is all that is needed to find it on a busy screen. But I'm
glad the option is there for others who want it.
