The second and arguably more symbolic is one of the more radical design changes in the operating system’s recent memory.įor those less familiar with the operating system, the design changes likely feel subtle. Those first systems are set to arrive toward the end of the year, likely in the form of new iMac and MacBooks.
The first and arguably most important is the aforementioned hardware update. What we can say for sure is that Big Sur does, indeed, represent a big step forward in macOS’ evolution in a couple of ways. It certainly seems worth mentioning the first primary number upgrade in 20 years, but who can ultimately say why Apple does the things it does? The fact was never explicitly mentioned during the keynote, though the number was flashed on screen during a demo. One of the more unsung instances was the surprise reveal that the next version of macOS would be 11.0. There are a million reasons why this year’s WWDC was a strange one. To the extent that it’s possible to do without final hardware in-hand, we’ll cover the new macOS features that will be native to Apple Silicon Macs and outline how the software side of the transition will go.Apple unveils macOS 11.0 Big Sur, featuring a new aesthetic and redesigned apps We’ll cover the operating system’s new look and new features-the things that any Big Sur Mac will be able to do, regardless of whether it’s running on an Intel or an Apple Silicon Mac. We won’t be making any major changes to how we approach this review, either. This ought to be a smooth transition, most of the time. It may even be a bit less disruptive than Catalina was. Almost everything will still work the same way-or, at least, Big Sur doesn’t break most software any more than older macOS 10 updates did. Early betas were even labeled as macOS 10.16, and Big Sur can still identify itself as version 10.16 to some older software in order to preserve compatibility.
