Maybe it’s a good thing that the software patch arrived before the actual units did. On Friday, Apple released Thunderbolt Software Update 1.0, a 60.3 megabyte download that provides support for the Apple Thunderbolt Display and bug fixes for Thunderbolt device compatibility.
The update should also be available via Mac OS X’s Software update feature and requires Mac OS X 10.7.1 to install and run.
If you’ve received your Apple Thunderbolt Display yet and tried the update with it, please let us know what you make of it via the comments.
