MacBook Pro owners might want to delay installing Big Sur for a few weeks to give Apple a chance to investigate.
Multiple owners of older 2013 to 2014 MacBook Pro laptops have reported that installing Apple’s macOS Big Sur update has broken their computers. Apple released MacOS 11 Big Sur last week alongside the first Apple Silicon Arm System on a Chip (SoC), the M1, which features in the new MacBook Air,13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. The new Macs can run iOS apps, while the Rosetta 2 emulator helps software built for Intel chips run on Apple Silicon Macs. Microsoft warned last week that Office apps will take about 20 seconds to launch on the first attempt because of Apple Silicon. However, installing Big Sur has caused serious problems for some MacBook Pro owners who opted to proceed with the update as soon as Apple released it.
