Jason Snell has an in-depth look at what you can expect from macOS 11.
I’ve been running it on my secondary Mac, and while there are rough edges, overall, I’ve been spending most of my time with it considering the design. This has caused me to re-read my review of OS X Yosemite, which was the first release with the “flatter” design we still see today in Catalina. In it, I wrote:
While this new version of OS X is structurally the same as all of its predecessors, there’s not much left of that original Aqua look left.
Apple didn’t go all iOS 7 on OS X’s ass, though.
That may have finally happened with Big Sur. There’s a big emphasis on text and large white areas that used to have more color to them. This change is going to be a wild one to watch.
