Apple announces macOS 27 Golden Gate
The Verge·June 8, 2026
Apple has announced macOS 27 Golden Gate, the next version of its desktop operating system, which will succeed last year's macOS Tahoe 26. macOS Tahoe 26 introduced features such as a revised Spotlight search and a Phone app, but its Liquid Glass redesign was met with controversy. The upcoming macOS 27 Golden Gate will no longer support Intel-based Macs, with users of these devices promised three years of security updates. The new operating system will be exclusive to Macs with newer chips, marking a significant shift for the company's desktop lineup.
