Apple finally released its latest macOS Big Sur 11.2.2. Sources stated that the new desktop system is expected to fix MacBook Air and MacBook Pro's current issue. The tech giant manufacturer launched its new system on Feb. 25.  

According to 9To5Mac's latest report, Apple confirmed that the update prevents some MacBook models from getting damaged when connected to third-party USB-C docks and hubs. If you want to know if you are eligible, all you need to do is check your device's model. 

The tech giant company said that the only MacBook Pro and MacBook Air that will access macOS Big Sur 11.2.2's fixes are those from 2019 until 2021, which are suffering from the issue with third-party, non-compliant powered USB-C accessories. 

"macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 prevents MacBook Pro (2019 or later) and MacBook Air (2020 or later) models from incurring damage when they are connected to certain third-party, non-compliant powered USB-C hubs and docks," said Apple via 9To5Mac.
