Apple hasn’t said when it will be here, but we know that the
wait for Big Sur won’t be long now. So, in preparation for its
arrival, we have taken a look at how macOS Big Sur is shaping up.
These are the Big Sur features we are most excited about, and the
ones we think might not be such a big deal.
Wondering when Big Sur will launch? It’s here now! We have this

Note: people have found that Big Sur cannot be installed because
they lack the required 35GB free space to install it! Read:

The first thing you will notice when you start using Big Sur is
the new look. Everything looks whiter and brighter (unless of
course you are in Dark Mode, in which case things look darker). The
edges of windows are more curved. The menu bars in app windows
blend with the controls pleasingly for a simplified look, and most
notably there is no more grey. Previously there was a lot of grey,
which at one point in the history of macOS we probably thought
looked modern and stylish, but it just looks drab now.
Speaking of design changes – the Dock has been tidied up, with a
more uniform look to the icons that appear there. Prior to Big Sur
the Dock was a real mishmash of squares and circles and other
shapes, now every icon has a square base with curved edges like in
iOS. Beyond this most apps retain their usual logo except for a
notable few including the Mail app (no longer the ugly eagle stamp,
now the usual envelope), the Messages app (now the same green icon
with speech bubble as on iOS), and the Music icon has adopted the
same white note on a red background that is now on iOS). We expect
to see Apple apps such as Pages, Numbers and Keynote, and other
third-party apps to adopt new icons to complement this tidier
look.
Apple’s borrowed from iOS for this redesign, but it hasn’t
stopped there. One of the biggest interface changes in macOS Big
Sur is the arrival of Control Centre, which is accessed by clicking
on the new switch icon in the menu bar beside the clock.
On the iPhone and iPad Control Centre is the home of shortcuts
to tools that would normally be hidden away in Settings. As on the
iPhone Control Centre on the Mac grants the user access to the
functions you need most often, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness
and sound. As on the iPhone you can also add additional shortcuts
to Control Centre. You can also drag them out of Control Centre to
place them back on the Menu Bar (which is good news if you find
that using Control Centre actually means you have more steps to
make the adjustments you used to make via the menu bar).
That’s our main criticism of Control Centre – many of the tools
used to be accessed directly from the menu bar – such as the
AirPlay Display feature and Bluetooth. It’s not as if there isn’t
room for them there so tidying them away into a separate window
doesn’t really make a lot of sense to us.
These interface and design changes do feel like Apple has had a
bit of a tidy up rather than adding anything ground breaking.
Control Centre is the closest we get to a standout feature, but it
is no equivalent to Desktop Stacks or Dark Mode (introduced in
Mojave) or Handoff (introduced in Yosemite).
With the arrival of the icon for Control Centre we say goodbye
to the Notification Centre icon. If you find Notification Centre
useful fear not – Notification Centre now appears when you click on
the clock. We say if you find Notification Centre useful because up
until now it’s been debatable whether it was useful at all to have
a long list of things badgering you and demanding your attention
(just me?)
The good news is Apple’s given Notification Centre a bit of an
overhaul the result of which should be a more useful tool.
Notifications will be grouped together by app rather than being
chronological, so that you don’t have to wade through heaps of
notifications in search of the one you are looking for.
Perhaps the best thing about the new Notification Centre is the
rejuvenation of widgets. Widgets aren’t new to the Mac – in
Catalina and earlier you could find then in the Today section of
Notification Centre and a long time ago they were part of Dashboard
– but in Big Sur widgets will appear alongside your
notifications.
On a Mac you can already select various widgets to appear such
as Calendar, Stocks and Weather but there are embarrassingly few
options as you will see if you visit the Notification Centre
Widgets section of the Mac App Store. The unification of widgets on
Mac, iPhone and iPad should mean that there are many more widgets
to choose from.
One disadvantage of widgets on the Mac compared to widgets in
iOS is that you can’t pin them to your screen in the same way as
you can pin them to your Home screen on your iPhone or iPad.

Maps is one Mac app that feels out of place on a device that
tends to be left on your desk or folded up in your bag, but Maps
has been on the Mac since Mavericks launched in 2013 and in Big Sur
Apple has given it some attention.
New in Meadow williams tits are indoor maps of airports and
shopping centres, and a new Look Around feature with 360-degree
views of locations. The idea is probably that you might want to sit
at your desk and plan a trip somewhere, maybe pinpointing the
restaurants you want to eat at and the properties you want to
visit. We just don’t believe people use the Maps app on their Mac
and we don’t imagine these new features will really make a big
difference to our experience of Big Sur.
As with Maps, Messages is an app that came to the Mac from the
iPhone (although you could argue that Messages began life as iChat
on the Mac). The Mac and iOS Messages apps are pretty much joined
at the hip, so you might think that when new features arrive in
Messages on iOS they will also appear on macOS. Actually, that
isn’t always the case, prior to Big Sur Mac users were unable to
create Memoji, they couldn’t attach fun animations to messages
(such as balloons or lasers), and they didn’t have access to the
Gif and #Image library. Those omissions have been addressed in Big
Sur.
In addition the Sara evens naked gets the handy new pin
feature that arrived in iOS Messages and means you can pin
conversations with your favourite groups and individuals to make
them easier to access. You’ll also be able to direct a response in
a group chat to an individual and silence distracting group
conversations.
Apple’s expanding the information you can see about your battery
with a new Battery section in System Preferences that is
reminiscent of the Battery section in Settings on iOS. Here you’ll
find data relating to the last 24 hours and also the last 10 days.
You’ll see the times when your usage was most high.
You can also set when you want your screen to turn off while
idle, set the screen to automatically dim when on battery power and
turn the Power Nap feature on or off.
Unlike iOS it doesn’t seem to give you Amwf lexi belle by app
data – but theoretically this information can be gleaned from
Activity Monitor so we would expect it to be made available
eventually.
Another battery related change in Big Sur is a new optimized
charging feature that is designed to extend battery life. Apple
says it’s Optimized Battery Charging feature will learn your daily
charging routine so it will be able to predict when your Mac will
be connected to a charger for long enough to fully charge. This
should avoid a scenario where the laptop doesn’t get fully charged
before being unplugged again, meaning that it doesn’t get a full
cycle.
There are the usual raft of new Vanessa hudgens nakeds and
Long island onlyfans features in Big Sur. We’re being a bit unfair by
listing them as a con here, because they are all good and positive
additions to your Mac. It’s just a bit annoying to have the
constant onslaught of windows confirming you want this and that to
happen. In fact we’ve got so used to just clicking yes that one day
we will probably end up agreeing to something we don’t want to
happen…
You will probably encounter most of these new privacy related
features when using Safari. Safari 14 isn’t actually limited to Big
Sur – you can install Safari 14 on Catalina and Mojave too. That’s
one reason why Safari isn’t included as a pro in this round up of
the pros and cons of Big Sur – Safari 14 is not new in Big Sur.
The new privacy related features in Safari are good though.
There is a new Privacy Report button that will give you a summary
of the websites that have been caught tracking you. They will
automatically have been blocked from doing so. That’s good or bad
depending on your stance. Advertisers are up in arms of course (as
are sites that rely on their money).
Don’t get us wrong with all these cons – we think that macOS 11
Big Sur is really going to improve our Mac experience when the
final version arrives. The annoyances are far outweighed by the
improvements that are coming and the new look (which we love).
But we just feel that this time round there isn’t anything to
make us stop in our tracks. It’s a tidy up and a spring clean
rather than a brand new macOS. The real changes are happening under
the hood and until we get the Alice brookes porn we won’t really
benefit from them.
