Apple has now officially released the new Mac operating system macOS 11 Big Sur in version 11.0.1 for all users worldwide. 

It was already expected that Apple would postpone the release of macOS Big Sur until the official Mac launch. But now the time has come. The new operating system can be downloaded from the Mac AppStore starting today. As part of the update, the UI was revised and stylistically brought closer to iOS. explained Apple during WWDC 2020: 

Apple today previewed macOS Big Sur, the latest version of the world's most advanced desktop operating system. macOS Big Sur introduces a beautiful redesign that's completely new yet instantly familiar. Safari is packed with new features, including a customizable start page, elegantly designed and more powerful tabs, fast and easy translation, and a new privacy report. The updated iMessage application lets Mac users send and receive more personal and meaningful messages, as well as easily keep track of group messages and interact within group messages. Maps also offers an entirely new experience with immersive features for exploring and navigating the world.

There are many small animations that make macOS Big Sur so special. Translucency has been significantly improved and the application icons in the dock now resemble their iOS counterparts. In addition, the Control Center is coming to the desktop for the first time. It offers quick access to brightness and volume, for example.

The notification center has been adapted to match that of iOS and now has the same skills - such as grouping messages. The widget system introduced in iOS 14 will also be available in macOS 11 Big Sur. Both iMessage and the Maps app have been updated as part of this. Mac Catalyst is getting new features, including native screen scaling and updated controls. This should help Mac Catalyst applications to fit better into the platform.
