macOS Big Sur Overview:
macOS Big Sur, the latest version of the industry-leading desktop operating system, is now available to Mac users as a free update. Big Sur features a stunning new interface and many improvements to core apps including Safari, Messages and Maps, as well as unique new privacy features. macOS Big Sur is deeply integrated with the Apple M1 chip in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, as well as the new MacBook Air and Mac mini. The combination of Big Sur and M1 opens up new horizons of productivity and efficiency on Mac and expands the app experience – all in the familiar macOS experience that users love.
macOS Big Sur takes the Mac to new levels of performance and visual aesthetics. Experience eye-catching design that enhances your Mac experience. Give kudos to Safari’s biggest update yet. Try new Maps and Messages features. And learn even more about ways to protect your personal data
Overall, the new macOS is not only simpler and more minimalistic, it is now similar to iOS 14 (actually more like iPadOS 14). Apple designers redrew all standard applications in the new operating system.
