macOS 27 Golden Gate: Here are Apple’s full release notes
Apple has announced that macOS 27 Golden Gate will ship to all users next Monday, September 14. Here are Apple’s official release notes for macOS 27.
Today alongside shipping its RC (release candidate) updates, Apple published full release notes for iOS 27 and also for macOS 27 Golden Gate.
Here are the full, unedited macOS 27 release notes:
Introducing Siri AI, an entirely new version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence that’s more personal, more capable, and more conversational. It is integrated into Spotlight, so you can search for answers about almost any topic right from where you already search for things across your system. It can draw on personal context to find things across your messages, mail, photos, and more. And it can get things done across your apps, just by asking. Revisit and resume past conversations in the new dedicated Siri app, synced with iCloud across your Apple devices. Siri AI is rolling out to users, and you can get started by turning it on in Settings.
With Visual Intelligence, you can select a window of your screen and Siri can answer questions or take action with what’s onscreen, like adding events to your calendar. You can access Visual Intelligence with a dedicated keyboard shortcut — Command-Shift-Space.
Use intelligent photo editing tools to reframe a photo after it’s been taken with Spatial Reframing or expand your shot with the Extend tool. And enhancements to Clean Up let you remove distractions with better quality and more realistic infill, even when the scene is complex.
Automatically group your tabs into topics, so related pages are easier to find. With Notify Me, Safari can monitor pages for changes like price drops or restocks and alert you when it’s time to act. Describe an Extension lets you use natural language to create custom extensions, like adding a button to save your favorite recipes.
With Describe a Shortcut, you can automate daily tasks with a simple description and all of the required steps are assembled on your behalf. For example, you can describe a shortcut to automatically text your partner when you’re headed home from work with an estimated arrival time based on traffic.
Updates to Liquid Glass improve readability, and a new slider lets you customize how it looks, from ultra-clear to fully tinted. Uniform toolbars, edge-to-edge sidebars, and more detailed app icons further elevate the design.
Powerful new parental controls help parents more easily manage what content their children can see, who they can communicate with, and when they have access to apps. Ask to Browse requires kids to request permission before visiting any new website in Safari. Communication Safety expands its protections to help keep conversations safe. Time Allowances gives parents more flexible ways to manage the time kids spend in apps across categories, and offers guidance based on expert research that’s tailored to a child’s age. Schedules help manage which apps kids have access to at different times of the day and across the week.
