![]() Will it blow up in your face? Probably not. You should be fine making the jump to Big Sur. I do dislike that buttons are spaced out more, making it feel like there’s more wasted space on my screen, but it’s not a deal-breaker that would make me switch back to Windows (all things considered). As for the design changes, it took a few days for me to get used to them, but they’re not nearly as bad as some people have made it out to be. I did not think I would make much use of Control Center at first, but the more I used Big Sur, the more I found Control Center to be useful it was nice and convenient for me to be able to adjust things like screen brightness and the keyboard backlight without having to take my hands off the trackpad of my MacBook (I have a Touch Bar MBP, so using the Touch Bar would have been slower than physical keys). ![]() ![]() Upgrades have gone off without a hitch for macOS updates for me (although I do exercise prudence and wait at least a few days before installing updates, unless there is reason to install them sooner). I upgraded to Big Sur a few months ago and also had no issues with the upgrade process itself. With macOS Monterey, users can dictate texts of any length without a timeout… On-device dictation: Keyboard dictation helps protect the user’s privacy by performing all processing completely offline. With macOS Monterey, this feature will be available in more languages: Swedish (Sweden), Danish (Denmark), Norwegian (Norway), and Finnish (Finland). Siri: Neural text-to-speech voice in more languages is only available to the M1 Macs. Object Capture: With macOS Monterey, users will be able to turn a series of 2D images into a photo-realistic 3D object that’s optimized for AR in just minutes using the power of Mac. With these two features, users will be able to interact with a 3D globe and explore cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London with detail for elevation, roads, trees, buildings, landmarks, and more Maps: Interactive globe and detailed new city experience will only be available in the M1 Macs running macOS Monterey. Live Text will work in Photos, Screenshot, Quick Look, and Safari. Live Text in Photos: Gives users the ability to interact with text in photos, such as copy and paste, lookup, and translate. Portrait Mode on FaceTime: Only M1 Macs on macOS Monterey will be able to blur the background of a video call using FaceTime. ![]() With the second major software update to take advantage of the Apple Silicon, here are the features Apple introduced that will be only available to its Macs with proprietary processors. MacOS Monterey: Here are the features exclusive to M1 Macs One might use this application to download and install the new “xxxx” version, but if I understand this correctly, only as a matter of last resort. In Finder/Application/Utilities there maybe something called “”, where “xxxx” is in reality the name of the new version of macOS one is intending to upgrade to (e.g. This could also be true when upgrading from Catalina to BigSur. Mojave) will also start and race its downloading and installing against those of the new macOS, and the resulting conflict will prevent both from getting done. Otherwise the install of the new version (Catalina, in my case) will fail, because when one clicks to install the new version, the pending update to the old version (e.g. One thing perhaps not everyone here knows and I have learned the hard way: before upgrading (in my case from Mojave to Catalina in another Mac, not the one I use everyday and am using now to write this and is still running Mojave) it is very important to make sure that the current macOS before upgrading to the next version is completely up to date, with no updates waiting to be installed.
