Changes of particular note include:Īpple’s forthcoming rollout of ARM-based Macs introduces a separate set of considerations for adopting and supporting macOS 11 Big Sur. This period allows time for any initial bugs and compatibility issues to be identified and fixed.Īs can be inferred from Apple changing the major version number of macOS for the first time in nearly 20 years, macOS Big Sur is a significant upgrade, departing from Apple's more incremental version changes in previous years.
Information Systems & Computing (ISC) strongly recommends that all University users considering updating their devices adopt a “wait and see” approach and continue to use earlier versions of macOS for at least a few days following this release. Big Sur is not currently pre-installed on new Macintoshes but that will change within the upcoming weeks. Big Sur is compatible with any Mac released in 2013 or later, with the exception of the 2013 iMac and the Early 2013 MacBook Pro. Yesterday, Apple released its newest version of the Macintosh operating system, macOS 11 Big Sur. Please feel free to reach out with any comments, questions, or concerns! That being said, if you discover any significant compatibility issues with macOS 11 Big Sur, please let us know by either messaging myself or by submitting a ticket to ISC Client care at. Please keep in mind when upgrading to macOS 11 Big Sur that your software is up-to-date older versions of software are most liable to have compatibility issues with the new operating system. Big Sur for ARM-based Macs is not cleared for general use until more testing for compatibility is completed. After several weeks of testing with no reports of major incompatibilities, ISC is clearing macOS 11 Big Sur for general use at the University only for Intel-based Macintosh systems.
