# iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate: Apple Launches Public Beta with Powerful AI

Apple has officially announced the start of the public beta testing for its upcoming software platforms. Users can now install the preview versions of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and the desktop macOS 27 Golden Gate. This update marks a massive shift for the company towards deep integration of artificial intelligence into everyday tasks, as well as a significant overhaul of the visual style of its interfaces.

### Evolution of Siri and New Assistant Capabilities

One of the key changes is the move towards personalization of the voice assistant. In the new OS versions, users have the ability to customize the expressiveness and timbre of Siri's voice. Additionally, all conversations with the assistant are now saved in a separate new app, allowing users to easily return to their conversation history.

However, certain limitations apply during the beta testing phase. The system currently recognizes only the English language. Also, users in the European Union will temporarily not have access to artificial intelligence features due to current regulatory restrictions.

### Revolution in Photo Management

The Photos app on iPhone has received a suite of powerful tools based on generative models. The Spatial Reframing function allows users to adjust the composition and shooting angle even after the shot has been taken. The Extend tool automatically draws and expands the boundaries of the image, while the updated Clean Up function seamlessly removes unwanted objects or random people from the background.

The creative studio Image Playground has received improved algorithms, allowing users to create content in a photorealistic style. Furthermore, developers have significantly optimized the gallery's performance: the speed at which taken photos appear has increased by 70%.

### Performance Boost and Smart Safari

Apple has bet on speed. The launch speed of mobile apps has increased by 30%, and wireless file transfer via AirDrop has sped up by 80%. The Safari browser has learned to automatically group open tabs and monitor online store pages for price drops. The password manager now automatically finds and updates overly weak character combinations.

The visual style of the systems has also undergone changes. Developers have addressed the shortcomings of last year's Liquid Glass interface by adding a special slider to adjust the transparency and readability of elements.

### New Features for Apple Watch and iPad

Smartwatches with the release of watchOS 27 now support Siri AI. The latest firmware adds a Dynamic App Grid, which automatically brings the necessary apps to the forefront depending on the context. A single-tap gesture for expanding widgets has appeared, as well as support for tracking menopause periods. The standalone mode for Workout Buddy now works without a mandatory connection to an iPhone and supports the Spanish language.

Tablets running iPadOS 27 have adopted all the key features of the mobile platform. An exclusive novelty for the large screen is the Visual Intelligence function, which works in tandem with the Apple Pencil. Users simply need to circle any object on a screenshot with the pencil for the AI to instantly find information about it. Also, the speed of direct data exchange between the iPad and portable SSD drives has increased fivefold.

### macOS 27 Golden Gate: AI as a Work Tool

On computers running macOS 27 Golden Gate, artificial intelligence is positioned as a powerful tool for work. You can invoke the intelligent assistant directly through Spotlight search, using it for rewriting, analyzing documents, or text on the screen.

The operating system for Mac has received visual updates in the style of Liquid Glass: unified toolbars, edge-to-edge sidebars, and more sophisticated window shapes.
