This is a short PSA post about updating the Studio Display firmware through a compatible Hackintosh: *It will not work*.

I haven't figured out what doesn't work, but it absolutely refuses to update.

Luckily, the Studio Display can be rebooted (unplug the power, wait 5 seconds, plug it back in) and it'll be functional again.

Updating via a real compatible Mac works and the update takes less than 3 minutes to complete. I personally used my M1 Pro Macbook.

If you don't have a real Mac or access to one through a friend or family, avoid installing the update until someone figures out how to do it successfully.

I hope this helps someone.
