Developers are provided with new tools to create advanced Siri AI integrations using Markdown-based instructions.
Apple has added a new screensaver called Pro Lighteensaver, featuring light moving along metallic-looking lines forming the word "PRO." The update also includes checks for potentially harmful content shared through public iCloud links, with Apple removing flagged content or taking action against violating accounts. The release build for macOS 27.3 public beta 1 is 26C5035r, identical to the developer build. To participate in the free public beta program, visit beta.apple.com.
