Apple will present its latest software platforms during its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8, and one of them will be MacOS 27 for Mac.<\/p>\n
The first developer beta of macOS 27 will likely be available soon after the keynote, and the public beta usually follows in July. After beta testing, the software update should be released to all users in September.<\/p>\n
macOS 26 is known as macOS Tahoe, but the name of macOS 27 has not yet been leaked. <\/p>\n
Below, we recap what to expect in macOS 27.<\/p>\n
Siri improvements<\/h2>\n
macOS 27 will reportedly include a dedicated Siri app with chat history. This would make Siri similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.<\/p>\n
macOS 27 should also include the Siri personalization features Apple previewed back at WWDC 2024. For example, Apple showed a user asking Siri about her mother’s flight and lunch reservations based on information obtained from the Mail and Messages apps. This functionality was previewed on the iPhone, but will roll out to the iPad and Mac.<\/p>\n
“We look forward to bringing a more personalized Siri to users this year,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said on an earnings call this week.<\/p>\n
Other features of Apple Intelligence<\/h2>\n
Earlier this year, Apple and Google announced that Google Gemini will support future Apple Intelligence features, and that will go beyond a personal version of Siri. However, what features are coming remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
Touch Interface<\/h2>\n
For example, if the user touches a button or control on the screen, the report said that the appropriate set of commands will immediately appear in the menu around their finger. And when a user taps on an item in the menu bar at the top of the screen, the report said the controls will expand to make it easier to select them with a finger.<\/p>\n Gurman expects a MacBook Pro or MacBook Ultra with a touchscreen to be released in early 2027, so this touch configuration will come to macOS 27. However, the changes may be hidden until the laptop is launched.<\/p>\n macOS 27 will reportedly be similar to 2009’s Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is apparently focused on improving “core quality and performance.” Apple is expected to implement many bug fixes and stability improvements, and there may be some much-needed Liquid Glass design improvements.<\/p>\n Last year, Apple announced that macOS Tahoe will be the last release of macOS for Intel-based Macs, which means that macOS 27 will only be compatible with Apple silicon Macs with the M1 chip and new ones. However, Apple will likely continue to release security fixes for other Intel-based Macs for at least a few more years.<\/p>\n Starting with macOS 27, Macs won’t support AirPort Time Capsule or any other storage drives that use the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), according to a warning Apple displayed in macOS Tahoe. Time Capsule backups will require a storage drive that supports current file sharing protocols such as SMBv2 and SMBv3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apple will present its latest software platforms during its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8, and one of them will be MacOS 27 for Mac.
