New features for the Big Sur-named operating system update will include a tighter design that more closely resembles what you might expect on the iPhone and iPad, not to mention improvements to Safari, Maps, Messages, and support for more of those iOS-connected Catalyst apps, given there are so few at present.īut before you get excited about what Big Sur will bring when it launches later in the year, you might want to first work out whether your Mac will get it at all. In 2016 it was renamed from OS X to macOS with version 10.12 becoming “Sierra”, with 2017 being macOS 10.13 “High Sierra”, 2018 revealing macOS 10.14 Mojave, 2019 seeing macOS 10.15 “Catalina”, and this year Apple is making the jump to 10.16 “Big Sur”. Operating system updates and changes are mostly a yearly thing these days, and while Windows 10 has largely been “Windows 10” for a number of years now, Apple’s macOS goes through large updates in a typically annual fashion. Just like there is pretty much every year, there’s a change on the way for people who own a Mac. With the announcement of a new macOS version, you might be wondering whether a Mac you might own will support it.
