Apple does not want to give USB-C accessories automatic access to macOS Ventura

Users of Apple laptops with M1 or M2 socs running macOS Ventura will soon be required to allow USB-C or Thunderbolt accessories to talk to the operating system. The measure applies for three days and can be switched off manually.

The new measure for USB-C and Thunderbolt accessories can be read in the release notes for the beta of macOS Ventura, the operating system Apple introduced earlier this week. Apple writes in it that power supplies, monitors and accessories that connect to an approved hub should not ask for permission. Accessories that were connected to the laptop during the software update to macOS Ventura are also automatically allowed. Accessories that have not received permission from the user to talk to the operating system can still be charged. It is unclear whether the measure will also be included in the final version.

Apple introduced macOS Ventura during its developer conference WWDC 2022. The new version of the operating system received new multitask functions and an improved Spotlight search function, among other things. Recent Apple computers running macOS Ventura also have the option to use an iPhone as a webcam thanks to the update.
