News & Reviews:   macOS Big Sur

Quite a few years back, there was a cute little mobile game called Flappy Bird. Regardless of its alleged plagiarism, the game was difficult but strangely addictive. Now, someone has actually made the game playable again on a new platform.

If you recall, it was rumoured that iOS 15 could be launching soon. References for the latest version were found recently, so it was suggested that Apple could unveil it during WWDC 2021. Now, sources have even found some of its expected features.

Software updates are rarely smooth sailing. For example, macOS Big Sur users reported an update turned their MacBooks into bricks back in November 2020. This time around, it would seem that multiple users are running into a screensaver bug on their Mac PCs.

When Apple launched its new Apple M1 chip powered MacBooks, it was confirmed that the new PCs will come with the new macOS Big Sur. Now, Apple has officially made its latest operating system available to all Apple users. Along with the new OS is a slew of changes, which we'll briefly describe below.

Today, Apple have finally released the first public beta test for the iPhones, iPads as well as those who have an Apple TV. Interested users can now try out the new iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and tvOS 14 via the download link here, however, macOS 11 Big Sur and watchOS 7 are not available yet. 

If you recall, it was recently rumoured that Apple is getting ready to start using ARM-based chips for Mac PCs. This was confirmed at WWDC 2020 earlier today when it was announced that it will be using its A12Z Bionic chipset on Mac PCs. At the same time, Apple also introduced the new macOS Big Sur.
