macOS Golden Gate 27 is certainly not unusable, but I’m surprised by how many issues it has.
For example, I find during my work day that Pages and Mail occasionally crash. News does also, but less frequently. And as I noted before after upgrading to macOS 27 and updated Creator Pro, two Pixelmator Pro folders pop up in my iCloud account. When I delete one of the folders, a second one still pops up. Nothing I’ve done has fixed the issue. And here are other reported issues:
- Mission Control and Spaces: Users report severe lag, frame-rate stutters, and delay when entering Mission Control or swiping between full-screen apps and virtual desktops.
- Dual-Monitor Glitches: Moving an app window across multiple displays can leave an unresponsive black screen behind on the original monitor (a temporary fix requires creating and deleting a new desktop space).
- Interface and UI Bugs: Complaints include slow menu bars, Control Center stutter, Safari search quirks, and missing context or system tray menus.
- System Reindexing & Storage: Spotlight search may act sluggish initially due to heavy reindexing, and mandatory AI/language model downloads consume significant disk space.
These are issues that Apple should have caught long before now. So, c’mon, Apple, give us an update that resolves these problems.
