MTA Flips the Switch from Electric Buses Back to Natural Gas

An electric MTA bus sits near a charing staton on the far west side of 42nd Street

Apple’s OS 27 Updates Will Be Released on Monday, 14 September

9to5mac.com/2026/09/09/apple-confirms-macos-27-golden-gate-launch-date-september-14/

9to5 Mac has the iOS 27 release notes too. I haven’t spent much time using Golden Gate, but I’ve been using iOS 27 full-time ever since WWDC. It’s in excellent shape for a .0 release.

Now I need to think about how long I want to still hang onto MacOS 15 Sequoia on my main Mac. I’ll probably skip 27.0 and wait for 27.1, but maybe I’ll bite the bullet and upgrade when a 27.0.1 update comes out.
