So mostly Siri AI and Apple Intelligence, either of which are compelling reasons for me to jump on 27 upon release.
I sure hope that the released version will continue to have an on/off butting for Apple Intelligence, I understand that the beta might not as they clearly want/need feedback on the new features.
No one have said if it does or not, but I presume it will have an on/off button when launched.If not then I will be staying with what I have

Lots of weird jiggly movement in macos these days. Jiggly blob animation ... I guess jiggly blobs are "in" these days? Very strange. The Truffle Shuffle.
Try the Reduce motion option in Accessibility.

I started using it around Mountain Lion and it’s the first setting I switch on a new Mac. Hard to go back!

that's my thinking too, and I noticed a typo in my post, should read "neither are compelling ..."

I think the compelling reason to jump on 27 is that all the x86 code (other then Rosetta) has been stripped out which could theoretically make for a leaner more responsive system

yea, that would be nice and eventually I will install 27, though I will say that my M1Max Studio runs still great after all this time so I'm certainly not compelled to upgrade my HW 😉
 
Is anyone on this site against 'AI'?
I understand the fascination but the consequences of its use on the environment (and people's critical thinking) are beyond scary.
It's very early so few noticed that AI tidbit about changing weak passwords for you. That means AI will have to impersonate you log into websites and change your passwords. Yeah no thanks

Thankfully I didn't left 1Password when Apple expanded their Passwords.
Having Siri messing with my passeords/security? NOT A CHANCE!
 
Control Centre is still glassy AF even with slider maxed out.
Yeah, seems the only way to fix that entirely is to turn on Reduce Transparency. I've been doing that ever since the first version of Liquid Glass, along with Increase Contrast, so I rarely see the kinds of issues a lot of people have been seeing with LG.

Toned down corner radius/radii and LG slider aren’t compelling?!?!

Some people…

I focus on the apps I'm using and macOS 26 has worked as well for me as all the previous versions ...
is it really that hard to understand that not everyone is the same?

I appreciate the Liquid Glass improvements that Apple is making in macOS 27. But those shiny borders around all the buttons are still goddamn ugly.

Apple's going for normie appeal.

Folks like you and I are becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of the Mac userbase, so we're becoming less and less relevant to what the Apple board decides to do or not do. Apple IMO is going for the mainstream normie crowd coz that's where the money is. Hence my increasing fondness for bsd/linux alternatives.

I don't like that idea, I use Bit warden to generate good passwords
