Apple's new iPhone Duo foldable features elegant split-screen multitasking that lets users see the home screen while using apps side-by-side, but the reviewer wishes Apple would bring this simpler approach to iPad, where iPadOS 27 still requires an all-or-nothing windowing system that feels convoluted.
Apple has delayed two iOS 27 features—suggestions in Messages and automatic password changes—removing them from the September 14 release and promising them in a future software update. The changes also affect iPadOS 27 and macOS 27, with no timeline specified for their return.
Apple announced that macOS 27 Golden Gate will launch on September 14 alongside iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. The update introduces a revamped Siri AI, AI-powered Shortcuts app, new Golden Gate-themed wallpapers, and various other features including iPhone mirroring improvements and Safari enhancements.
Apple released release candidate versions of iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and iOS 27 following its September event, with full availability to all users beginning Monday, September 14. The RC builds represent the final shipping software, though critical issues may prompt RC 2 releases. New features unveiled at the event, particularly for watchOS 27, are now available for developer and public beta tester testing.
