macOS 27 Golden Gate: Update preparation and compatibility guide

Following Apple's September 2026 release of macOS 27 Golden Gate, guidance has been issued regarding the transition to the new operating system. The update focuses on enhancing security, stability, and compatibility.

Key preparation steps for users include verifying hardware compatibility, as macOS 27 Golden Gate does not support Intel-based Macs. Users are advised to back up critical data using tools like Time Machine, ensure sufficient storage space is available for the multi-gigabyte download and installation, maintain a stable internet connection, and keep MacBook devices connected to a power source during the process.
