iOS 27 Will Reportedly Be Like Mac OS X Snow Leopard

I don’t think Tim Cook leaving will change anything, no more than Alan Dye leaving will change liquid glass.

Apple has established itself as a profit making machine so much so, that is its true DNA now.

The ‘ding in the universe’ creative company of yesterday is just a memory in Cupertino. I do find it egregious that Apple of today want to celebrate something from the past they have no intention of continuing.

The glitz & glass is here to stay.

In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reiterated that iOS 27 will be similar to 2009's Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that one of Apple's biggest priorities is bug fixes for improved performance and stability.

At WWDC 2008, Apple showed a presentation that said Mac OS X Snow Leopard had "0 new features," as it opted to focus on performance and stability improvements. Technically, the update did include some smaller new features, but Apple was overwhelmingly focused on bug fixes and under-the-hood changes on the Mac.

"We've built on the success of Leopard and created an even better experience for our users from installation to shutdown," said Apple's former software engineering chief Bertrand Serlet. "Apple engineers have made hundreds of improvements so with Snow Leopard your system is going to feel faster, more responsive and even more reliable than before."

iOS 27 will still get some new features too, including a more personalized version of Siri. The update should be announced in June and released in September.

While new features are exciting, glad to hear Apple big priorities are to fix bugs to improve performance and stability as these are very very important to get a device working as intended and visioned! Big appreciation to Apple! 👍👍👍
 
Built in native game and software emulator please. Thats all we need. Steam does this and they do it perfectly with steam app in linux. Just do the same for macos!

There is nothing wrong to get a business profit growing exponentially with great products and services like Apple does. Profits are very important for business to grow for their company, stockholders and employees. Apple leadership has done marvelous job especially under Tim Cook. Excellent customer service online and at stores, customer need attention and their availability to help with their corporate stores existence in many countries are gold standard for satisfying customer needs on the products and services. The big celebration of the 50th golden anniversary is well deserved. Apple is a role model for any businesses to be successful.

they need to fix Mac OS, it has turned into a shtshow. Used to be 100% stable. Now I have random crashes almost on a daily basis with mail, safari, and even photos, along with many other specific apps. Especially mail, if the email body has some stuff it doesn't like, it will just constantly crash and I am not talking about virus or spam emails, just regular email from legit companies would crash the app over and over. It is beyond frustrating.

I am on latest version of Mac OS running latest Mac Studio M4 Max, so it's not like any old hardware/software.

We sure are getting conflicting rumors from MacRumors these days. Only 2 days ago Juli Clover relayed a rumor that:

10+ New Features Coming in iOS 27​

View attachment 2613771

Whereas today, Joe Rossignol reports from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman that iOS 27 will not receive new features, but rather will be an optimization sort of update.

One of the those 10 new features listed in that article was Stability and bugfixes.

Snow Leopard did focus on bugs and performance, but it also include new features and improvements to existing apps. Snow Leopard introduced the App Store, Boot Camp, QuickTime X, VoiceOver improvements, multi-touch support for trackpads and a bunch of smaller changes. I would expect the 27 OS’s to have a similar mix.

Guys, you really assume your Mac will work like before?) Liquid glass implementation is sucking your GPU cores and battery like crazy - optimization will not help. This OS was released too early, for the stable work specs/configs of your hardware should in general be way higher

Thats not true though. We’ve been running Tahoe since the second dev beta. There’s no difference in our machines this year just like there hasn’t been in any of the previous years.

My home machine has no issues either.

Works fine on my Mac also. 26.3.1 on 16GB M2Pro.

how to say that there will be no AI and make it sound positive 😂🤦

It would be extremely positive. But, AI is the new arms race. Companies are trying to keep up out of fear.

Sure, sure. MacOS is working fine. iPhone SE(3) is working fine. 9th Gen iPad, not so much.

Well, I don't want to be *that* conspiracy guy, but since I have downloaded the Tahoe on my 2021 macbook pro, it has significantly deteriorated in the terms of battery life, smoothness and the fans are on all the time.

Edit: Yes, it's iOS, but still, please, fix my mac 😩

I’m sure you’ve had several replies. I am running Tahoe on my 2021 MacBook Pro. The battery life is very close to what it was before Tahoe — within about 10 minutes in my tests. I’ve had no lag or noticeable bugs (I do have 32 GB of RAM though) and I’m not sure if the fans have ever come on except when playing games or running stress tests. Fans came on just as little as they did with any previous OS version.

It sounds like something went wrong with your install. Did you try a fresh install and then restore files from backup?
