Apple recently revealed its new Mac mini and Mac Studio models. Early details suggest that these upcoming computers will arrive with the new macOS Golden Gate software right out of the box. Instead of shipping with the older macOS Tahoe, the brand is pushing its latest operating system to match the new hardware. The fresh software brings major changes, including a smarter digital assistant.
Product pages confirm the new computers run the latest software
Tech writer John Gruber recently noted that the new machines are slated to ship with macOS 27. This detail was backed up by the company itself in a recent press release. It stated that the new Mac mini comes to life with the upcoming software. The official product pages also mention several fresh features, specifically highlighting Siri AI. This new version of the digital assistant is built right into the operating system.
Recent regulatory documents found by MacRumors also show the computers running Golden Gate. This means buyers will not have to wait for an update to get the newest features. Since the new desktop machines launch on Tuesday, September 22, the software update must arrive before that date. Based on past release schedules, the general public could see the update drop around the week of September 14.
