macOS 27.2
Juli Clover (release notes, security, enterprise, developer, full installer, IPSW):
macOS Golden Gate 27.2 overhauls the brightness and volume sliders, plus it expands Siri AI to new languages including French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Apple just broke the macOS security update record AGAIN, patching 263 CVEs in macOS Golden Gate 27.2! 🤯🔐
I decided to email Apple Product Security yesterday just to ask whether CVE-2026-112500 was my [e-mail privacy] issue. In the past I’ve had a number of email conversations with Apple Product Security, including a long-running thread initiated by them way back in 2024 about a WebKit security issue that I had reported, with last reply in July of this year.

In other words, Apple Product Security no longer accepts reports via email, instead requiring security researchers to submit via a web form. But the web form wants you to “Report a vulnerability,” with no place for a simple question like mine, about a vulnerability already fixed. Also, the quoted paragraph implies that if you don’t use the web form, you might not get a CVE, which I suspect is what happened to me!
PSA: If you use the removemacai tool and are having trouble updating to macOS 27.2, remove the RemoveMacAI profile in System Settings -> General -> Device Management. It appears to somehow block softwareupdate’s ability to download parts of the update.
macOS 27.2 beta brings back the solid divider line between sidebars and their details view.
macOS 27.2 has reverted the [Mission Control] change: fullscreen apps are now once again titled by app name, not window title
Still broken on macOS 27.2. No response to my Feedback so far.
I’ve since added a workaround in Radiccio that simply removes the Liquid Glass effect (so the buttons can work again).
Upgrading to macOS 27 no longer removes an existing Rosetta installation[…]
I suspect what Apple really meant is that macOS 27 was not automatically reinstalling Rosetta, and now it does again in 27.2.
