Things seem to be moving in the right direction from Tahoe, where I had some major issues with Apple Music syncing content to my phone where it would delete some stuff not sync loads of stuff and trash some files completely, basically trashing my iPhone content. I ended up buying iMazing to get over the appalling state of Apple music sync feature in Tahoe, but then the last MacOS broke some features on iMazing, including sync over WiFi and drag drop and copy playlists. If there are any beater testers that have played with Apple Music and syncing I'd be interested if the above issue have been fixed, or is it still a S*&^ Show.

Did they manage the fix "this webpage was reloaded because a problem occurred" and "this webpage was reloaded because it was using significant energy" in Safari? I hope they solved :)

I have heard that dictation is excellent now. I wonder how it is inside Numbers? Can you now move between cells and tab with the dictation?

Ya'll keep saying the side bar looks good in ios27... but in ios26 it was more vivid not flat and ugly... ios27 is really bad lol. The only good thing about it is just faster performance.

Wallpaper is not a feature!
Have a fantastic day & I'll see you soon!
I am increasingly convinced that a touch mac is on the horizon. the way the liquid glass reacts, the swipe to refresh, and generally larger "hit areas" across the OS. etc.,
More User Perspectives
Brandon, did they remove the clipboard toggle that was in Spotlight? Has it been implemented into the new Siri AI bar? I haven't seen anybody talking about it and I'm worried cause I use it all the time
@matheusnascimento6685The enormous size of Spotlight Search, tabs, menus, icons and other - is disturbing me deeply.
@ijjimemI watched this one video where a woman said that she watched the 11 minute video that showed Karmela Anthony getting jumped by a group of people These people will blatantly lie because they’re know other people like them are too stupid to look up the facts.
@1nine8two39How is the voice to text? I hope it had massive updates
@NewMuslimVoiceAll useless feats
@Captinofthemudslayer2:32 Nope, that Audacity window doesn't have the same corner radius as the rest of screens and it's really noticeable
@fcalloThe Finder bezel had to go. Glad someone in Apple paid attention. Apple knows not to ruin the Finder GUI. When OS X was in its early development, many long time MacOS users who were connected to Apple made that abundantly clear and Apple has pretty much abided by that over the years.
@SteveSteeleMusic5:00 rip hidden bar😢
@DVDCJW3:10 the finder looks so much better
@DVDCJWWho tf did they listen to for these design changes 😭
@Resident_gl_fanI don't understand why they changed spotlight on Tahoe just to scrap that and change it again in golden gate
@andrediego6131The suggested file names is cool! I'm surprised they didn't mention that in the keynote.
@ConnorGriffinMusicThe latest macOS 26 release seems more beta than the first beta of macOS 27 :) I love the news!
@jo_9805Basically the UI updates just changed some elements back to pre Tahoe designs, I wish they would cancel the new iWorks icon design, such bad taste.
@manchumuqmost of the updatesa re a trasition phase to a touch based macos for either the upcomming touch macbook or macos in ipad
@gunboundmagFiresIf glass is too slow, I'l turn it off.
I hope they fix the Finder drag/drop stuck bug.
Wish they make macOS 27 app/task manager to be like Windows and Linux.
I think that the control centre is lagging a little bit. probably due to macOS 27??
@SoundEffectsStudio1the real crime here Is using light mode
@MaD-z4r3zLiquid glass breaking apart in the menu controls is not a good look lol
@dejankeleman1918The new mission control is so slow. They have to speed up the animations. Also you need to hover over the Desktops on top to expand the view vs having it expanded by default in 26. Submitted feedback already but it's still kind of disappointing given all the other great features and stability/performance improvements.
