Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 by measuring page load performance of snapshot versions of 10 popular websites under simulated network conditions. Tested on production 1.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and prerelease macOS Big Sur. Tested with prerelease Safari 14.0.1 and Chrome.
Streamlined apps
- According to a snapshot of an upcoming DigiTimes report, citing industry sources, Taiwanese manufacturers Pegatron and Quanta Computer are vying for final assembly orders while Foxconn has scored orders for component assembly. The analyst sentiments are similar to what Bloomberg reported last month. The report detailed that Apple's AR headset.
- How to screenshot on a Mac. Every method for screenshotting on a Mac uses the Shift, Command, and number keys. In short: Shift + Command + 3 takes a screenshot of the entire screen.
- Firstly, note that local snapshots are created only if you are using an Apple laptop such as a MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro. Desktop computers such as iMac, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro do not have this feature. Also, the Time Machine feature must be enabled to create automatic backups.
From full-height sidebars to refreshed toolbars, a clean new app design makes sure your content is always front and centre.
Refreshed Dock
A sleek design update makes getting to your favourite apps even easier. And a new uniform shape for app icons adds consistency while letting the personality of Mac shine through.

Control Centre for Mac
Instantly access the controls you use most — like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — and new controls to play music and enable Dark Mode for your display. Designed just for Mac, the new Control Centre lets you add controls and drag favourites to the menu bar to customise it just for you.
Notification Centre
A new design combines notifications and widgets in a single view for more information at a glance. Notifications are now grouped by app, and many are interactive — letting you do things like play new podcast episodes or learn more about Calendar invitations. And redesigned widgets come in three different sizes, so you can create the best view for you.
Parallels has released a Technical Preview Program for running Parallels Desktop 16 on M1-powered Macs. The company says that it created a 'new virtualization engine that uses the Apple M1 Mac chip hardware-assisted virtualization' to allow users to run ARM-based operating systems, including Windows, in a virtual machine.
Parallels points out some limitations with the first version of the Parallels 16 Technical Preview for Apple Silicon Macs:
- It is not possible to install or start an Intel x86 based operating system in a virtual machine.
- It is not possible to suspend and resume a virtual machine, including reverting to a 'running state' snapshot.
- It is not possible to use the 'close' button when a virtual machine is running – shut down the virtual machine instead.
- ARM32 applications do not work in a virtual machine.
The company says it continues to focus on expanding the capabilities of Parallels on M1 Macs as well:
Many Parallels Desktop features depend on a virtualization engine and guest OS architecture and must be developed nearly from scratch for the Apple M1 chip: starting from running an OS itself, graphics, the ability to suspend/resume a virtual machine, seamless integration, Coherence mode, Shared Folders, and many more. While our team continues to work hard on bringing all of the best Parallels Desktop features to Mac computers with Apple M1 chip, we are proud to share the results we achieved with this significant milestone.
With those limitations in mind, however, this technically means that you can run the ARM version of Windows using the Parallels Technical Preview on an M1 Mac. Microsoft does not sell a version of Windows that will run on Apple Silicon Macs with Parallels, but the company has made a version available to members of the Windows Insider Program.
You can head to the Microsoft website to download the Insider Preview version of Windows for use an Apple Silicon Mac with Parallels. If you're not a member of the Insider Preview program, you can also request to join through this link.
Here's a look at the process of installing Windows through Parallels on an M1 Mac in action:

Today's release of the Parallels Desktop 16 Technical Preview for M1 Macs comes less than a month after the company teased that it was in development. This release makes a major milestone in the ongoing quest for a way to run Windows on M1 Macs.
