Apple today added two new Golden Gate-themed wallpaper options in the sixth beta of macOS 27.
There are new Golden Gate Day and Golden Gate Evening wallpaper options that join the Golden Gate Sunset and Golden Gate Night wallpapers that Apple introduced in earlier betas.
macOS 27 also includes abstract Golden Gate wallpaper options for those who don't prefer scenery.
Golden Gate Day and Golden Gate Evening animate when you unlock your Mac, and can be set as a screen saver. When used as screen saver, both wallpapers feature cars slowly driving across the bridge.
Apple also tweaked the look of the traffic light buttons in macOS Golden Gate beta six, adding a Liquid Glass aesthetic.
macOS Golden Gate is available for developers and public beta testers, with a public launch coming in September.

Code sleuth "pdfu" has uncovered iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate private frameworks that show Apple has designed its new Siri architecture to work with third-party AI models at what appears to be a surprisingly deep level.
One mechanism called Model Delegation allows Claude to appear as a Siri extension in the same way as the existing built-in ChatGPT extension. In pdfu's video, shared on X,...
Beautiful! I wish Apple would provide one of those timelapse "dynamic" versions of their wallpapers as they did with past releases of macOS to go along with the time of day 🫤 Side note: FINALLY they changed the traffic light icons, ohhh it brings me back to the Pre-Yosemite days 🥹🤍
You can also bundle all Golden Gate and Tahoe Landscape wallpapers under a single option, and have macOS switch between them based on the sun's position.
