macOS 27 will launch three major new features or not cancel the liquid glass design

[ Gearbest Technology News]On May 11, according to the latest reports from foreign media, Apple will launch macOS 27 at WWDC 2026, bringing three major new features. Among them, this version will not cancel the Liquid Glass design, but will undergo a “minor redesign” to solve the readability problems it brings.

　　The improvement of liquid glass is one of the focuses of this update. The foreign media pointed out that Apple will improve the visibility of text by adjusting shadow and transparency effects, while optimizing the position of the scroll bar to reduce the interference of shadows on the screen. This change aims to solve the “shadow and transparency anomaly” problem reported by users.

　　Safari browser will usher in AI-driven automatic tab grouping. Similar to the iOS 27 beta, Safari in macOS 27 will have a new “Organize tabs” button, and users can choose whether to enable automatic grouping. This feature can replace the manual process of organizing browser tags, making the operation more efficient.

　　macOS 27 will also prepare for touch operations. According to multiple sources, Apple plans to launch a touch-screen MacBook Ultra later this year, and macOS 27 will provide software support for this. However, the feature may not be available in beta and is expected to debut with the MacBook Ultra at the end of the year or early next year.

The foreign media also compared it to a “Snow Leopard” moment, emphasizing that the system needs to focus on underlying optimization. Snow Leopard is known for its performance improvements and stability, and macOS 27 is expected to further optimize power consumption and stability on this basis, while improving Siri’s intelligent capabilities. It is worth mentioning that WWDC 2026 will be held in June, when Apple will officially demonstrate the complete features of macOS 27.
