The MacOS 11 Big Sur- Apple’s latest OS for Mac is now available for download. This OS has been said to be pumped with newer and better-designed features that would really bring up the user experience which involves Messages, Safari, and Maps. The MacOS 11 Big Sur is also going to be the first version of the MacOS that is going to function on the new Macs built by Apple. This involves the in-house M1 silicon chip.
Incidentally, this OS will also work on older machines that are Intel-based. But, if you have already decided to go for a new MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, or the MacBook Air with the M1 chip, the MacOS 11 Big Sur has been optimized to provide optimum user satisfaction on these machines.
The optimization includes apps that would be running much faster, and smoother- something that was mentioned by the executives at Apple on November 10th when they had a virtual event for the launch of the OS. Also, there will be far advanced security devised for this OS. But that’s not all there is- for if you are hesitating on not upgrading to a newer Mac- you will find the MacOS 11 Big Sur for the current system too.
Here are the 5 new best features of the MacOS 11 Big Sur
