Big Sur – also known as macOS 11.0 – is bringing a lot of new things to Apple’s laptops and desktops. The new OS features a top-to-bottom redesign of the interface, icons and menu bar, a new control center UI that will remind you of iOS, widgets (also like on iOS 14) and a bunch of performance improvements.
With macOS Big Sur, you will also get some new privacy features like improved tracking information on Safari and new privacy data in the Mac App Store for any new apps you download.
The new macOS will be pre-installed on Apple’s newly announced M1-powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini computers when they release on November 17th. In fact, Apple says that the OS has been specifically optimized to run on those new ARM-based systems, which will also let users run iOS and iPad apps right on their computer.
