macOS 27: two more changes leaked before WWDC next month

macOS 27 will have a “slight redesign” compared to macOS Tahoe, as well as an option to automatically group tabs in Safari, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman.

In his To light up In today’s newsletter, Gurman said the design changes will help address some of the criticism surrounding macOS Tahoe’s new Liquid Glass interface. The changes should notably improve overall readability.

“Apple aims to solve the shadow and transparency issues,” he said.

Additionally, Gurman said Apple is testing a new AI-powered Safari feature that can automatically organize browser tabs into groups. This feature, previously revealed by Woozadshould be available on macOS 27, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27.

“I’m told that in testing builds of iOS 27, the middle button at the top that users can press to move between their tab groups has a new option called ‘Organize Tabs,'” he said. “You can choose whether you want the grouping to happen automatically or not.”

Apple will unveil macOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8.

The first developer beta of macOS 27 will likely be available immediately after the keynote, and a public beta will typically follow in July. After beta testing, the software update is expected to be released to all users in September.
