We'll be keeping an eye out to see if it includes a fix for the Mac Mini's GPU woes. And while Apple could easily swallow the cost, it would be a humiliation.Īpple is expected to release Big Sur 11.3 in the coming weeks. If this is a hardware issue (which is not yet certain), it's hard to see how Apple will be able to resolve it without doing a recall. There's no Intel or discrete graphics to speak of, just what exists on the SoC, which precludes some of the workarounds used with the 2011 iMac and MacBook Pro. Although the Radeon GPU on that year's MacBook Pro was integrated into the logic board, punters who missed the window to return their machines to Apple could solve the problem by falling back to the integrated Intel graphics through a software patch, or by performing some board-level soldering to remove a problematic resistor. This method uses an HDMI-USB capture card peripheral connected to the Zoom Room to capture HDMI output from another device, such as a laptop.

On the laptop front, the 15-inch and 17-inch 2011 MacBook Pro also suffered from widespread graphics card failures, caused by poor thermal management and some spectacularly shonky soldering. Wired HDMI screen sharing is a one-plug method to share content from a laptop or mobile device to a Zoom Room.
