Posted on 23rd Jun 2020 01:01 pm by rohit kumar

macOS Big Sur is being called an important redesign of the desktop operating system. It also makes several improvements to in-house apps, including Safari. Talking about the second change, macOS Big Sur introduced the transition to Apple silicon-based Mac machines, the first of which will come later this year. Apple has jumped directly from macOS 10.15 Catalina to macOS 11.0 Big Sur. Apple is officially moving towards its silicon chips for some of its Mac hardware. It is being called the "historic day for Mac". At Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference online this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies Johnny Sorji told that long-term work is being done on this technology.

 

 

Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple would use Apple's ARM-powered silicon in future Macs. This is a big step which means that macOS will support these new machines as well as iOS app and macOS apps in the future.

 

 

What will be different

 

 

Apple will release the first Mac with silicon later this year, which may take up to 2 years to change. Newer Intel-powered Macs are still in the pipeline, so Apple is not yet exclusively switching to ARM-based Macs. Still, this is a big step for Apple to move away from Intel-based silicon in the Mac.

 

 

The biggest step for ARM-powered chips is that future iOS and iPadOS apps can work on macOS. Apple says, "Most apps will only work," for the first time you will be able to run an iOS app as well as a macOS app.

 

 

Apple is promising new levels of performance and lower power consumption with its in-house processors. Apple is designing its range of SoC for Mac, which has unique features for Mac. The common ARM-based architecture in Apple's products is now making it easier for developers to write and customize applications on every major Apple device.

 

 

Apple's own Pro app will be updated to support the company's new silicon in MacOS Big Sur, and the company hopes that developers will update their app. Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering, claims that "most developers can get their app up and running within a few days."

macOS Big Sur will be made available for qualified Mac machines. This will be a free software upgrade. Its public beta will be released in July. See here the list of Mac models that will support this new desktop OS.

macOS Big Sur: Design and Interface

 

 

Here you will find many colors and new features. Icons can be redesigned with the help of new Dock Now features. The menu bar has also been changed. At the same time, Apple says that the buttons and other controls will be hidden so that you can use them only when you have it. The company will also make changes to the new sidebar and toolbar.

 

What will be the new changes compared to before

 

 

Safari, Messages and Apps

 

 

Safari - With the arrival of Big Sur, you will now see more tabs on the screen in Safari. As soon as users take their mouse on it, they will also get a preview. Customize background image, new start page, reading list, iCloud tabs, built-in translation features in 7 new languages, you will get all these features now.

Apps - Apps in Big Sur app will now support new custom Apple processors. Adobe and Microsoft are also partners who will launch their apps onboard. Rosetta 2 will automatically recompile old apps when you install them.

 

 

Rosetta 2 will automatically translate existing applications at install time. This means that even if the developers have not fully updated their apps, they will still be able to work without modification. Apple is also using virtualization to run Linux versions on these new Macs.

 

 

Talking about some more features, macOS Big Sur will bring some privacy changes in the Mac App Store. At the same time, you will be able to edit photos, you will get fast software updates, home features and battery changes will also be seen.
