If you’re curious to try macOS Golden Gate while it’s still in beta, I highly recommend installing it on a separate APFS volume instead of your main volume. Installing macOS 27 on your main volume would replace macOS Tahoe, leaving you at the mercy of any bugs or compatibility issues that arise with the software and hardware you use. Unlike iOS and iPadOS betas, macOS betas can pose a greater risk due to the complexity of macOS, which includes support for legacy software and hardware. I’ve been burned too many times in the past with hardware and software that didn’t work properly for months until the inevitable updates came after the public version was released later that fall. In my opinion, it’s just not worth it. The good news is, thanks to APFS, you can easily create a separate volume and silo the macOS Golden Gate beta installation away from your production Tahoe volume. This allows you to test the macOS beta in full while retaining the stability and reliability of the current public release. Watch our full hands-on video walkthrough for a complete step-by-step guide, and be sure to subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more macOS tutorials.

Apple is rumored to have more new iPhones launching in 2027 than ever before, and a new post from leaker Digital Chat Station corroborates that. Here’s what he says is coming.
Some of the recent Apple price hikes exceeded 50%, while the cost of upgrading memory and storage has literally doubled in some cases. The company has said that it’s “working tirelessly to find solutions” to the problem, but when might we expect prices to revert – if ever … ?
If you’re a long-time T-Mobile subscriber on a plan you took out years ago, the company may have some bad news for you. The carrier is closing what it says are more than 1,100 different legacy “plan codes” and moving subscribers onto new ones, with price increases or reductions in usage limits likely …
A maxed out MacBook Pro has never been cheap given Apple’s pricing on both RAM and SSD upgrades, but the recent price hikes mean that the 16-inch model now tops out at a five-figure sum.

We learned yesterday that Apple is trying to persuade the Trump administration to allow it to buy memory chips from two Chinese companies blacklisted by the Pentagon, CXMT and YMTC.

Apple just announced unprecedented price increases for the majority of its product lineup, with only iPhone and Apple Watch not yet seeing a price hike. This is because of the AI-driven memory crisis, caused by AI data centers buying up loads of memory supply, putting tons of pressure on the market. Apple tried to hold out for quite a while, but the situation got out of hand. It’s worth noting that these memory pressures have existed for the entirety of the year, and it’s only now getting to the point where it’s unsustainable. Nonetheless, we’ll be diving into the why of it all, and when you should expect things to get better.
Later this year, Apple will be debuting an updated version of the Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips – a long awaited refresh. The current Mac Studio, released in early 2025, includes an M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip, so at least on the high end, it’s pretty behind. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the M5-based Mac Studio, which should just be a chip upgrade, is still on track to launch this year. Looking ahead to 2028, there may be more interesting changes in the pipeline.
In this hands-on guide, I’ll show you how to transform a USB drive into a macOS Golden Gate USB installer.

We’re about 3 weeks out from when Apple unveiled iOS 27 to the world at WWDC26, and it’s still safe to say: this is an incredible update. It’s incredibly performant, and besides some small quirks and a little battery drain, it feels much more usable than iOS 26.5. While iOS 27 does support every device that ran iOS 26, the same isn’t true for iPadOS. A number of older iPadOS 26 devices will not be receiving the iPadOS 27 update, which I think is quite a shame – and Apple should mitigate this one way or another.
Apple just implemented major price increases for a ton of Mac and iPad models this week. For example, the MacBook Neo just got $100 more expensive, while the MacBook Pro jumped a whopping $300. MacBook Air is also now $200 more expensive. Some of these price increases aren’t yet reflected on Amazon — and some are still discounted for Prime Day — but that’s starting to change. Here’s how you can still save.
