Apple has officially released the new macOS Big Sur for Mac computing devices. The latest macOS update will be released as macOS Big Sur version 11.0.1 and can be downloaded via the software update option on Mac. This is one of the biggest updates for macOS in many years, with significant changes in terms of design, performance, privacy, and greater compatibility with iPhone and iPad applications. There’s a redesigned layout with a new control center much like how you see it on your iPhone, Smart Tracking Protection in the Safari web browser, as well as a snapshot of the privacy criteria for each app in the App Store.
MacOS Big Sur is available for Macs that support Intel processors or the newer Apple M1 chips, including MacBook (2015 and later), MacBook Air (2013 and later), MacBook Pro (late 2013 and later), Mac mini (2014 and later), iMac (2014 and later), iMac Pro (2017 and later), and Mac Pro (2013 and later). Machines that don’t make the cut include the 2012 and 2013 iMacs, the 2012 MacBook Air, the early 2013 MacBook Pro, and the 2012 and 2013 Mac Mini. The upgrade size is around 12GB.
The macOS Big Sur is specifically designed to make better use of the new Apple M1 chip, which is now available to pre-order on the new Apple MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13, and Mac Mini. Instant activation for your Mac with Apple M1 chip, just like your iPhone and iPad. Universal applications that allow developers to create an application for all Mac computing devices, regardless of the power of the Intel or M1 chip. The ability to run iPhone and iPad apps directly on Macs, with macOS Big Sur. Better image processing for the FaceTime camera. Faster storage. Machine learning that is 15 times faster than before. And a much longer battery life, up to 20 hours. For Mac users, the ability to run iPhone and iPad applications directly on Mac would be priceless.
