At WWDC this year, Apple announced its new macOS 11 Big Sur with several new features and a design upgrade. Now, months after unveiling its new operating system and releasing developer beta and public beta versions, the company has now finally started rolling out the Big Sur update for every compatible device.
It comes with an “entirely new interface” along with “refinements in buttons and controls” and a new unified icon set. There are also some elements from the iOS, such as a customizable Control Center for toggling brightness, Do Note Disturb mode, and more. It offers a new notification center that tracks and organizes all the notifications as well as widgets.
