15.7.8 is out today as well, with these security fixes: https://support.apple.com/en-us/128071.

For context, there have been issues with MacOS 26 which have led many people to defer upgrading until MacOS 27 is available, and MacOS 15 is the previous version.

For me the issue is liquid glass. Which I doubt is getting fixed any time soon

Same thing happens almost every release. I've stopped updating my Mac machine until I see something in the release notes I literally have to have in order to continue doing macOS/iOS builds, otherwise I'm staying on the version I've validated to work, and I know the existing bugs with.

Then there's me, crying in MacBook Pro 2019 stuck on MacOS 15 because 27 won't be available for my machine.

The question now is, is 27 sufficient enough of an improvement over 15 to upgrade and tolerate Liquid Glass?

26.0 had a very annoying video jitter issue, but that was the first things that I noticed to be fixed in the next 26 release. Other than that, it worked just fine.

I still haven’t upgraded because of the UI issues. Curious though how long we will still see this large amount of CVE. My guess was always that we will see much more robust and secure software now with AI assisted engineering but probably still same amount of hacks. Is there a related law already describing this?

Did they un-hardcode the corner radius? I mean were they able to? I mean not that that anyone at this point needs convincing how utterly disgusting incompetent they’re at software.
