Altogether you’ll have access to the biggest collection of apps ever for Mac. And for the first time, you can use your favorite iPhone and iPad apps directly on macOS Big Sur. All your existing apps work thanks to Rosetta 2. And your hardest-working apps all have access to the power they need.

Everyday tasks from flipping through photos to browsing Safari are faster. The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur work together to make the entire system snappier. It’s our most powerful software ever - running on our most advanced hardware yet. Industry-leading privacy features and best‑in‑class security.

The power of macOS Big Sur on M1.ĭeveloped to unlock the potential of the M1 chip, macOS Big Sur transforms Mac with major performance benefits and so much more.

And the M1 chip with 16‑core Neural Engine and full stack of technologies takes ML performance on MacBook Pro into the stratosphere. Machine learning (ML) brings task‑smashing speed and automation to video analysis, voice recognition, image processing, and more. And it brings the world’s fastest integrated graphics in a personal computer, delivering a ridiculous 5x boost in graphics horsepower. The 8-core GPU in M1 is the most advanced graphics processor we’ve ever built. Its 8‑core CPU rips through complex workflows and heavy workloads, with up to 2.8x faster processing performance than the previous generation 2 - all with unbelievable energy efficiency. The M1 chip makes MacBook Pro outrageously fast and powerful. With incredible performance, custom technologies, and industry-leading power efficiency, M1 is not just a next step for Mac - it’s another level entirely. Packed with an astonishing 16 billion transistors, the Apple M1 system on a chip (SoC) integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and so much more onto a single tiny chip. Our first chip designed specifically for Mac.
