Starting with Sierra, Apple has begun dropping support for big groups of Macs every other year-last year, Catalina ran on almost everything that could run 2018’s Mojave. System requirements and compatibility 2013-era Macs like this MacBook Air are the oldest things that Big Sur will officially run on.

To the extent that it’s possible to do without final hardware in-hand, we’ll cover the new macOS features that will be native to Apple Silicon Macs and outline how the software side of the transition will go. We’ll cover the operating system’s new look and new features-the things that any Big Sur Mac will be able to do, regardless of whether it’s running on an Intel or an Apple Silicon Mac. We won’t be making any major changes to how we approach this review, either.
This ought to be a smooth transition, most of the time. It may even be a bit less disruptive than Catalina was. Almost everything will still work the same way-or, at least, Big Sur doesn’t break most software any more than older macOS 10 updates did. Early betas were even labeled as macOS 10.16, and Big Sur can still identify itself as version 10.16 to some older software in order to preserve compatibility.

Even the post-iOS-7 Yosemite update took pains to keep most things in the same place as it changed their look.īut unlike the jump from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, where Apple swept away almost every aspect of its previous operating system and built a new one from the foundation up, macOS 11 is still fundamentally macOS 10. The change is meant to call attention to both the pending Apple Silicon transition-Big Sur will be the first macOS version to run on Apple’s own chips, even if it’s not the first to require those chips-and to an iPad-flavored redesign that significantly overhauls the look, feel, and sound of the operating system for the first time in a long while. For the first time in almost two decades, Apple has decided to bump up the version number of the Mac’s operating system.
