Furthermore, the macOS Monterey 12.4 adds support for the 15.5 firmware, which is designed to improve the webcam quality for the Studio Display.

The iPhone maker has finally offered a fix via the latest macOS software update.

Additionally, there is an update for the Podcasts app, with Apple adding a setting that limits the number of episodes stored on a Mac and automatically deletes older ones to prevent the app from taking up too much storage space on the device.
