Does your Mac support the latest macOS? Here is the macOS 27 Golden Gate compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple's official keynote for WWDC 2026 was a bit different this time. The iPhone-maker prioritized Siri AI and new Apple Intelligence features so much that the keynote didn't have dedicated sections for macOS 27 and other software updates. That said, macOS 27 Golden Gate is coming later this year. The freshly-baked update is now available in developer beta for the following Mac models: MacBook Pro (2020 and later) MacBook Air (2020 and later) MacBook Neo (2026) iMac (2021 and later) Mac mini (2020 and later) Mac Studio (2022 and later) Mac Pro (2023) It's interesting to note that macOS 27 Golden Gate has dropped support for Intel-based Macs altogether. All of the supported Mac models in the list are powered by different Apple Silicon chips. MacBook Neo, which is the most repairable MacBook in years, is the latest of them and draws its power from an iPhone chip. Apple supported some Intel-based Macs on last year's macOS 26, but noted that not all features were available on these devices. The list of devices not getting the latest update includes the Mac Pro (2019), 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019), 27-inch iMac (2020), and 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020). To get the developer beta on your supported Mac, go to Settings > General > Software Updates. Here, click on the "i" button next to Beta Updates, then select "macOS Golden Gate 27 Developer Beta" from the drop-down menu. Make sure that you back up your data before starting the update, just in case things go south. Also, it goes without saying that you know what you're doing because developer betas can be unstable and behave in unexpected ways. Apple will release the public beta sometime next month, which will be comparatively stable. If you have an appetite for unstable test builds, you can try out the new features Apple has been baking for macOS 27. For starters, an upgraded version of Siri, with a dedicated Siri AI app coming later this year, enables cross-platform AI chat within the Apple ecosystem. Apple's changes to the Liquid Glass design language have trickled down to macOS as well. Now, there is a slider to change the intensity from ultra-clear to fully tinted. The system animations are smoother, content loads faster, and the window corner radius is now the same across all apps. In addition to macOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. -

Here's how it goes... 17yo Teen: Doctor, is this skin lesion cancerous? [attaches photo] Physician: [image detected] "Please confirm your age." Phone OS: [image exchange detected] "CHILD P0RN! YOU'RE BOTH GETTING ARRESTED!" 17yo Teen: But it's a photo of my bare feet! Physician: But I presented my ID and medical credentials! MP: Fantastic work lads! Two fewer perverts in this country! Cheerio! -

Chrome is Google's commercial web browser product; it consists of their proprietary features (Googlified everything including profile sync) plus their chromium project barebones web browser. Google developers control the chromium project. The chromium project is the "core" for the web browser product from other vendors including Microsoft Edge (their own proprietary features), Opera (their own features), Brave (their own features), etc... The "downstream" teams at Microsoft, Opera, Brave, etc., can either integrate their original MV2-supporting code into future builds, or they can integrate chromium wholesale and simply add-on their own features/functionalities -- their 'current' build pipeline, so to speak. THIS is why changes at the chromium project affect so many products besides only Google's commercial Chrome browser. -- Edit to add: The chromium project is open-source, and is the piece that's Google's code contribution to the W3C and world wide web at large; there are no licensing fees for others to use the code in their own products... which is what they do. Other browser engines do exist (Firefox's for example) but it's nearly impossible to have both engines bundled into the same 1 browser product.
