The desktop of a MacBook running macOS Big Sur. If you’re an iPhone or iPad user, it’ll feel newly familiar. Whenever you take the leap, though, you will notice the difference. We’ve reached out to Apple for comment on these reports.)

(The exception is if you’re running a late-2013 or mid-2014 MacBook Pro the update’s been causing some of those models to get stuck on a black screen. There also aren’t any hugely disruptive changes like Catalina’s removal of 32-bit app support. Apple really seems to have ironed out the numerous bugs that popped up during the surprisingly rough beta period, and the final release is quite stable without any major problems.

I’ve been using the operating system on a 2019 MacBook Pro 13 for the past several weeks. In this case, though, I would actually feel okay updating today. Should you update? My advice is usually to wait a few weeks and let early adopters report all the problems, especially with your primary work device. Whether all of those features are as useful on a computer as they are on an iPhone is another question. Big Sur - through a series of minor tweaks and refinements - absolutely achieves the goal of making macOS look and feel more similar to iOS than it ever has before.

Many of its “new” features will be familiar to owners of iPhones and iPads it’s playing catch-up to iOS. Like the M1 chip, Big Sur is a step in Apple’s efforts to cohere its user experience across devices.

But there’s another release this week that will usher in a big change for Mac users: macOS Big Sur. Apple announced its new M1 chip, which, if the company’s claims about performance gains are to be believed, could redefine our expectations for laptop processors. It's a bad strategy, mind because moving a small business to MS Office will cost less than replacing a few Macs stuck on High Sierra.Last week might’ve been the most important week of this year for consumer laptops.

What Apple has done by prematurely ending update support for High Sierra with their iApps (and also making them not backward compatible with their documents), is an attempt to force the need for new Macs upon workplaces that have a workflow based in Pages, Numbers and Keynote, since older Macs in the mix can no longer be homogenous with application versions, or even open the documents from a Mojave or later Mac on the same network, once said later Mac first auto updates the apps. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that since the advent of Mojave, Apple is trying desperately to get out from under the weight of the 2010-11 Radeon Macs by making them as inhospitable to use as possible. High Sierra is supposed to be supported by Apple for another year that means that Apple's own apps should support High Sierra for at least another year. The Mac App Store has tons of third-party word processing applications for very little money, and as I posted above, the LibreOffice Suite is a free Office solution of applications.

Microsoft now requires macOS High Sierra as the minimum operating system to install current Mac Office versions - because Microsoft is now tracking Apple's customary three-year sliding window of. Staying as current as your hardware permits with both operating system and Apple's Mac App Store applications is still important to obtaining applications. There is no hidden agenda going on to get you to purchase a new Mac. Occasionally, Apple will make the next operating system a requirement for installing Pages/Numbers/Keynote as those versions take advantage of features only found in that operating system, and to make those applications compatible with it. Same story for all other Apple applications not installed by the operating system. 2013, Apple has only kept the current released version of Pages, Numbers, or Keynote in the Mac App Store.
