macOS Big Sur isn’t too far away
While Apple is still releasing tweaks of macOS Catalina, its replacement is right around the bend. macOS Big Sur was unveiled in June, and has been in beta testing ever since. Previous Mac updates have been introduced in early October or late September in the past several years, and the 2020 version seems to be on schedule for some time in October. The most recent beta came out Sept. 22, and it wasn‘t the Golden Master.
Users should expect a big design overhaul in the next iteration of macOS, which is version 11.
