After the official launch of iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14 and watchOS 7 a few days ago, all Mac users were waiting to see when macOS will be updated. The beta process for this new generation of operating system continues without a date set for its final release. Today the company has released the eighth beta for macOS Big Sur developers that aims to outline the reported bugs.
Performance improvement in macOS Big Sur
It is practically a tradition that macOS updates have a very different schedule from the rest of the company’s software. There is currently no Big Sur release date set, since last week’s Keynote they left their release on the air. With this eighth beta that Apple has just launched, it is practically confirmed that there are still some errors that are present to be outlined to avoid that its launch to the public officially is a real disaster.
That is why in this new beta there is no noticeable novelty in the visual aspect. But if you see the report for developers about the news that this new beta includes, it is clearly appreciated that they are solving bugs that the developers have been reporting. This has been noticeable in the beta process as stability approaches the final release in the coming weeks. It is true that there are still some fringes to close, especially in some applications that are not fully compatible with this new generation of the operating system. All these a priori failures were totally expected considering all the new functions of macOS Big Sur and the change in aesthetics that they have wanted to give with widgets or new battery management options.
When will macOS Big Sur be released?
If we consult Apple’s web page dedicated to Big Sur right now it can be clearly seen that the launch is scheduled for autumn. Unfortunately, the company does not usually give very specific dates except the days before its launch, as has happened with the rest of the software recently released to the public. We have verified that the launch of macOS is not linked in any case to iOS but is much more independent.
Clearly Apple has learned that it is always better to delay a launch for a few weeks in exchange for it being perfect. Bugs that can occur in a macOS update may affect professional users who use the Mac in the workplace. This cannot be allowed from Apple since it could cloud the user experience with these failures. That is why they continue to launch betas solving all the problems that may arise. Fall begins today, so the theory is that before December you can have a final version on the table. Seeing that the stability is already improving a lot, it is likely that in the next few weeks a final version as stable as possible can finally be released for installation.
