Intel version is still 10.16, new ARM version is 11.0.

I can confirm this is false. I have MacOS Big Sur on my MacBook Pro 2017, and it identifies as 11.0.

What does it say if you run:

sw_vers -productVersion

10.16.

However, it is clear that Apple wants to move everything to 11. Xcode also says 10.16, but Apple Developer Docs say 11. My suspicion is just that the developers of Xcode and other parts of the OS weren't aware of the switch yet.

Ahh interesting! Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. It's 10.16 now, but I wouldn't be surprised if all of those version numbers will be updated to say 11.0 upon the final production release.

It's a marketing number, just like System 7.7 got renamed to Mac OS 8 at the last minute so that Jobs could weasel out of System 7 contracts.

My Intel MacBook Pro says 11.0 Beta (20A4299v). So, I don't think it's 10.6 for Intel.
