Apple is set to release macOS 27 after its June 8 WWDC keynote, promising a handful of new features and a modest redesign of the Liquid Glass interface. Rumors suggest the system will improve transparency and shadows that have clunked on Mac screens, while keeping the core aesthetic of macOS Tahoe. Developers will receive betas in July, with a public launch later that fall.

A headline‑changing move is the return of Siri to the desktop. Apple plans a standalone Siri app for Mac, mirroring the dark, Dynamic Island‑style interface seen on iOS 27. Users could invoke voice commands or even generate shortcuts with natural language, easing automation for non‑technical workflows.

Apple also rolls out a suite of AI‑driven tools across apps. Photos will add Extend and Reframe features to generate new image content and adjust perspective post‑capture. The new Image Playground model promises more realistic renders, while Safari gains automatic tab‑grouping to curb clutter. Writing Tools introduce grammar checks and text generation, expanding productivity options.

Hardware shifts are also in play: macOS 27 will drop Intel support, forcing users of older Macs to stay on macOS 26 or upgrade to an M1‑based machine. Rosetta 2 will remain available for the current release but vanish in the next major version, compelling developers to port legacy apps sooner than expected.
