macOS Big Sur will release for compatible Mac devices starting November 12th. Big Sur and M1 will also allow you to run iPhone and iPad apps on the Mac. The software has been optimised with the M1 chip, so it is more responsive and faster than ever before. The latest desktop operating system has been redesigned and brings powerful updates to Safari, Messages, and Maps. The new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini will be shipping with macOS Big Sur. The MacBook Pro delivers up to 17 hours of web browsing and up to 20 hours of video playback, which is the longest battery life ever on a Mac. Apple claims the MacBook Pro with M1 is 3x faster than the best-selling Windows laptop in its class. Apple previously announced that the computer would launch in December, but has not shared a specific date. The 8-core CPU is paired with the MacBook Pro’s active cooling system to handle complex and intensive workloads as well as gaming. Apples new 6,000 Mac Pro will be available to order on December 10, according to a notification sent to customers. The 13-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M1 chip makes it the most powerful Macbook for pro users. Other features include an improved front camera, P3 wide colour gamut, Touch ID, Wi-Fi 6, two Thunderbolt ports with USB 4 support. Thanks to the power efficiency of the new M1 chipset, the MacBook Air can deliver up to 15 hours of web browsing and up to 18 hours of video playback on a single charge. Notably, the MacBook Air comes with a fanless design, which means it will stay completely quiet no matter what you do. Apple claims the MacBook Air with M1 makes it faster than 98 per cent PC laptops sold in the past year.

The biggest upgrade comes under the hood with the all-new M1 chip. Both the new MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro models look similar to their predecessors in terms of design.
