A companion macOS 27.2 beta 3 includes further hints at touch-interaction support ahead of an expected touchscreen MacBook Pro.
Apple has released version 7.0 of its Apple Music beta for Android, introducing a new floating, translucent navigation bar and redesigned artist pages with large artwork.

Apple's iOS 27 update adds new sharing controls to the Find My app, letting users set custom time limits for location sharing or hide their location from individual contacts without triggering a notification.

Apple's macOS 27 Golden Gate update includes a broad revamp of built-in app icons, with some like Siri, Preview and Chess getting full redesigns while others such as Finder, Photos and Reminders receive lighter refreshes tied to the Liquid Glass design language.

The setting is found under Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass.
Apple has released iOS 27, adding faster performance, AI-powered photo editing and an expanded Siri assistant that can search messages, emails and photos and act across apps, plus a standalone Siri app that saves conversations by default.

Apple's upcoming iPhone Duo will require developers to recompile apps for iOS 27.0 just to fill the device's larger inner screen, with iOS 27.1 needed to access the Duo's new tab bar and other custom UI elements. Apple chose not to let iPad apps with resizable layouts run on the Duo, opting instead for a purpose-built interface exclusive to the new hardware.
