Talk:macOS Golden Gate

Is this really a "major release"? I suppose it qualifies by virtue of what it removes, not what it adds... Namely, dropping support for Intel Macs and AFP, because rounding the mouse cursor should not warrant calling it a "major" update. It's also about Apple's perspective as opposed to the end-user's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Binba (talk • contribs) 01:33, 9 June 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes. Apple does not typically hold keynote addresses for minor software updates (referred to as point releases, like 26.1, 26.2, etc). Additionally, going by semantic versioning, which Apple appears to use for their OS updates, any X.Y.Z release where the X number is changed would be considered a major release.

• ... that macOS Golden Gate was the first OS version to be supported only on ARM chips? Source: [1] [2] [3]
  • Reviewed: [[]]
  • Comment: Uses the same name as the Golden Gate Bridge. This is a new article, and it may be improved as the page gets updated.

• General eligibility:
• New enough: Yes
• Long enough: Yes
• Other problems: No - Still has maintenance templates that need to be resolved.

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: No - Several sentences/bullets/grafs are uncited.
• Neutral: No - Mildly promotional, as I'd expect any article written on the day of a new software release to be.
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes
• Other problems: No - Sources OK if we are to accept MacRumors as reliable; it seems to scrape by at RSN.

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: No - Hook is not in the article and thus not cited.
• Interesting: No - Fails WP:DYKINT; hook requires specialized knowledge to understand.
• Other problems: No - Unclear - "first version" of what? Of macOS or some broader set of operating systems?

Overall: Much on this article needs to be improved, including a completely different angle on the hook and new citations. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:38, 9 June 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I don’t think it’s necessary to make it into a table, as all devices support Apple Intelligence. We should make it into a traditional list like previous releases instead. EvanTech10 (talk) 01:43, 9 June 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I think that we shouldn't use the Version template as it doesn't allow for changing the labels for the colours which is needed to add the Security Response updates. Instead, we should go with our earlier approach of a separate legend. ChipsPacketLover (talk) 14:24, 9 June 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

Just noticed that this is present in other Wikipedia pages of macOS too. Seems the changes were done today. Request someone to revert these changes for all the pages, I am reverting it for this one. ChipsPacketLover (talk) 14:29, 9 June 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
