The technology company Apple is moving closer to a final release by sending out the macOS 27 Golden Gate developer beta 6 to registered software testers. This update arrives just one week after the previous version, marking a faster release schedule for the operating system as the fall launch approaches.
Developers can download this latest build to test their software against the newest desktop changes. The previous test version brought fresh app icons for Safari, Siri, and Chess.
The broader macOS 27 update introduces bigger changes, like a standalone Siri application and unified corner designs across all software windows. The system also brings new artificial intelligence features to Shortcuts and Safari. You can create quick automations using simple text prompts.
