This week on Mac Power Users, Stephen and I compare notes after spending the summer with iOS 27 and macOS 27. We cover the features that stuck, from Safari extensions and the rebuilt Spotlight to Siri AI, plus what Intel Mac owners should know about Rosetta’s last year. We also make time for my accidental YouTube career and, in More Power Users, a surprisingly serious discussion of selfie technique.
