Big Sur is going to be compatible with apps to run on Apple’s own ARM-based Silicon chipsets.

With its modern and clean look, huge improvements to key apps including Safari, Messages, and Maps, and new privacy features, we think everyone is going to love the breakthrough experience that macOS Big Sur offers.”
macOS Big Sur will bring a redesigned Safari. Users will be able to see more tabs on the screen. Along with that, to get a preview of the tab, users will just have to hover the mouse on the tab. Messages app is also going to get a major update as well. Users will also see a more stylish dock on their screen.
