If you are one of those individuals who try to keep their Apple devices updated all the time, then I have a great news for you. A few minutes ago, we saw the release of new versions of operating systems, namely iPadOS 14.7 and macOS 11.5 Big Sur. Apple came up with these operating systems two days after the release of iOS 14.7, watchOS 7.6 and tvOS 14.7, which we also informed you about. Most of you are probably interested in what new features these systems come with. The truth is that there aren't many of them, and that these are rather small things and corrections of various errors or bugs.

To update your Mac, go to System Preferences -> Software Update, to find and install the update.
