Apple introduced MacOS Big Sur at WWDC last month, with an emphasis on its redesigned interface and several new features. Now, reports suggest that the operating system may have functionality that improves the speed at which it installs software updates on devices. Mac users have found that updates are a tedious process that keeps their device inaccessible until the software update is complete. The time required for these updates can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour, depending on their size. On Macs using macOS Catalina, the system takes time to prepare and install updates after the system boots, further delaying the process.
How is it going to work?
A report on 9to5Mac indicates that even if Apple doesn't detail how updates will be installed once macOS Big Sur arrives, the process could be similar to how iOS handles these updates. The system first prepares the updates and collects the relevant files before automatically restarting the iPhone. This means that the waiting time during the startup process is considerably less. It has also been reported that macOS Big Sur comes with technology that makes the system more tamper-proof, which could also be one of the reasons why the update installation process could be speeded up. The report indicates that the new operating system would include a cryptographically signed system volume that protects against tampering while ensuring that the device is aware of its system processing activities, allowing it to initiate the process of system updates. background software while work can continue. unhindered. This could certainly be a valuable addition for Apple users who have felt the need for faster updates in the same way that their iPhones get the job done.
Multiple boot option
Of course, the other feature we talked about is the multiple boot options that MacOS Big Sur would bring once Apple brought its own processors to the device. The new startup process for future Macs will allow customers to install multiple instances of macOS, including different versions, making data recovery much easier. With the current OS, you have to remember various keyboard shortcuts to access the boot menu, while the new OS would make things easier because we just have to hold down the Touch ID button to bring up a menu with various boot options. At first glance, the macOS Big Sur update caught our eye because of the redesign, which is probably Apple's most significant since macOS 10. Plus, it borrows elements liberally from its predecessor, including a customizable Control Center, Notifications Center, and redesigned widgets. MacOS Big Suris is now available in developer beta mode with the first public beta version expected to arrive later in July. Apple is expected to roll out the new operating system to everyone this fall.
