Apple heeft macOS 11.3 uitgebracht. In versie 11, bekend als Big Sur en 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. Versie 11.3 voegt onder meer ondersteuning voor AirTags toe, heeft extra stemopties voor Siri en verhelpt diverse problemen, waaronder een belangrijk beveiligingsprobleem in de gatekeeper.
