Apple has released the public beta of macOS 27 Golden Gate as of this week, allowing users to test new features before the official launch this fall. The update includes significant enhancements to Siri with AI capabilities, as well as other system improvements.
Key features to try include an updated Siri with on-device AI processing for faster responses, a redesigned Control Center with customizable modules, and improved multitasking with Stage Manager. Users can also test new privacy features like app tracking transparency for third-party software.
Apple advises against installing beta software on primary devices due to potential instability. The final version is expected in September 2026, alongside new Mac hardware. For now, beta testers can explore these features and provide feedback via the Feedback Assistant app.
