The macOS Big Sur compatibility list goes as the following: Moving on to the devices eligible for the macOS 12 update, there isn’t really an official list available currently but one can still speculate based on past update patterns. After all, there are several months left for Apple to unveil macOS 12 and we don’t know what to expect just yet. We will have to wait for the next big macOS update to see what Apple has in store this time. Nevertheless, there is always a scope for improvement and new feature additions in even the best of the best software, and macOS Big Sur is no exception. MacOS Big Sur may have some bugs hither and thither but there’s no doubt that it is an extremely polished, secure, and mature operating system. This is combined with a bunch of new features like privacy labels on the App Store, grouped notifications, new widgets, new system sounds, and much more.

Apple said fans bought so many new M1 Macs that they helped push the company's desktop and laptop revenues to an all-time high of $9.1 billion during the first three months of 2021. The M1 chip is helping to change that though. It then brought over more mobile-centric apps like its iMessage communication service, FaceTime video chat and the App Store, which first launched in iOS.ĭespite Apple's popularity, and the success of its iPhones and iPads, the company's Mac computers still only represent less than 10% of the computers being used today. Over the years, Apple has focused on building apps and features for its MacOS that complement its other devices, including at first its iTunes software. Back when it was known as OS X, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs touted that it served as the basis for its iOS iPhone software. Apple's MacOS, first released in 2001, powers the company's computers like the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac.
