Apple announced that macOS 27, dubbed Golden Gate, will be available to compatible Macs on September 14, alongside iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS 27 releases.
Apple said macOS 27, branded Golden Gate, will roll out to all eligible Mac computers on Monday, September 14. The same date will see the launch of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27 and visionOS 27.
Golden Gate introduces an AI-enhanced Siri, visual redesigns and performance upgrades. A developer beta has been offered since June, followed by a public beta in July, before the full public release.
The update supports Macs equipped with Apple’s M1 chip or later, including the MacBook Neo (2026), MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models from 2020 onward, iMacs from 2021 onward, Mac mini from 2020 onward, Mac Studio from 2022 onward and Mac Pro from 2023 onward. The prior macOS 26, known as Tahoe, remains the last version compatible with Intel-based Macs. Apple noted that Intel Macs will continue to receive security patches for three years. Golden Gate will also retain the Rosetta translation layer, allowing Intel applications to run on Apple silicon.
