Apple releases second public beta for macOS 27 Golden Gate

This iteration focuses on stability and expanded functionality, specifically targeting the Liquid Glass interface and the system search feature that drew criticism in macOS 26. Developers have also updated Apple Intelligence, introducing refined writing tools, improved Visual Intelligence, and a natural language engine for creating custom Safari extensions and Shortcuts.

Observers at 9to5Mac have noted a curious addition to the Phone Mirroring tool: new aspect ratio support. This tweak has fueled speculation regarding upcoming hardware, specifically Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone. To access these features, users must enroll their machines through Apple’s beta program portal and navigate to the Software Update section within System Settings to toggle the macOS 27 Golden Gate selection.
