Apple will unveil macOS 27 at WWDC 2026, with the first developer beta after the keynote and a public beta in July, leading to a September release.

Apple’s rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro will be touch-friendly rather than touch-first, leveraging macOS 27 and the Liquid Glass redesign to blend touch and pointer inputs.
