With the third beta of macOS 27, Apple added new Golden Gate-themed wallpaper options on Mac.
There are new Golden Gate Sunset and Golden Gate Night options, both of which join the previous Golden Gate abstract wallpaper Apple introduced with the initial beta.
Golden Gate Sunset and Golden Gate Night come alive when the Mac is unlocked and can be set as a screen saver. When used as a screensaver, the Golden Gate Sunset wallpaper features waves crashing on the rocks near the Golden Gate Bridge. Golden Gate Night wallpaper shows cars crossing the bridge.
With previous updates, Apple has included several themed wallpaper options, so more Golden Gate wallpapers may be added in the future. macOS Golden Gate is currently developer-only, but we’re expecting a public beta soon.
