Apple heeft macOS 11.1 uitgebracht, ook bekend als Big Sur. In versie 11, die gratis vanuit de Apple Store opgehaald kan worden, heeft Apple onder meer de gebruikersinterface een opfrisbeurt gegeven met iconen die aan iOS doen denken en knoppen die verschijnen wanneer ze nodig zijn en verdwijnen wanneer dat niet het geval is. Verder hebben ook het berichtencentrum, Apple Maps en Safari grote verbeteringen gekregen. In versie 11.1 is verder onder meer ondersteuning voor de nieuwe AirPods Max toegevoegd, zijn er verbeteringen in de TV-app aangebracht en toont de app store extra privacy informatie.
