Project
Apple's macOS 27 release, succeeding macOS Tahoe. It brings Siri AI and Visual Intelligence to the Mac and retires support for Intel Macs.
Apple released macOS 27.2 beta 4 to developers a week after beta 3, with Siri AI support for five more languages. MacRumors expects the final release toward the end of October, so the window for trying those languages is weeks.
Reality
Apple released beta 3 of iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS 27.2 two weeks after beta 2, with new iOS and macOS builds alongside. The Health changes can be tested now, while Apple has not said what tvOS and visionOS add, and those changes may wait on rumored hardware.
Reality
The date is firm and the compatibility floor has not moved, so the September work is retiring Apple Watches and Intel Macs rather than testing iPhones, while Siri AI ships in beta behind a waiting list with no launch date.

Apple's new Siri needs a waitlist slot, an iPhone 15 Pro or newer and a country outside the EU, so a team supporting iOS 27 next week is supporting four populations on the same build number.

Twelve new CSS features land in the preview, including a detector for at-rules and comma lists in @container. It is still a preview build, so no polyfill comes out on the strength of it.

Reports point to a touchscreen OLED "MacBook Ultra" using the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, with the M6 Pro and M6 Max skipped outright. That changes the refresh math on high-end Macs.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple scrapped the M6 Pro and M6 Max to accelerate M7. The redesigned laptop expected this fall would ship with M5 Pro and M5 Max instead.
