The $30 billion leap forward

Apple has unveiled its latest software update, macOS 27 Golden Gate, which promises to improve the overall user experience.. The update includes a redesigned Liquid Glass design, improved app icons, and a more unified experience for developers.

According to the company, the update is a major focus on Apple Intelligence, with Siri getting a major overhaul and the ability to understand context and complete tasks on its own.

Apple is also starting to limit what older Apple Silicon devices can do, as the ability to customize how Siri sounds is limited to M3 Mac devices or newer with at least 12GB of RAM.

This move comes after months of speculation about the future of Mac software and the role of Apple Intelligence in it.

Siri is a big part of iOS 27, and that's all true for macOS 27.

Users can now ask questions straight from the Spotlight menu, and the Mac will understand that it's a query to Siri.
