Template:Current macOS
Current: macOS Golden Gate 27.0, released September 14, 2026[1]
This template gives the current version of macOS, as well as for older versions of macOS. Without a parameter, this template works with articles about iPhones that are compatible the current version of macOS (in this case macOS 27). If a Mac no longer supports the latest macOS, add a parameter for the version of macOS that the device is stuck on (such as {{Current macOS|26}}).
To update the actual values when a new update is released, please go to {{Current macOS/data}}.

Updating this template
[edit]Minor updates
[edit]In most cases, you don't need to update this template. Updating {{Current macOS/data}} will usually automatically transclude the values.
Major updates
[edit]When a new major version of macOS is announced (most likely every June at WWDC), and if any models are stuck on the current release, create a new #switch tree here and at {{Current macOS/data}} for the current version, and apply that new parameter to all relevant articles before updating this template for the newer release. For example, in 2026, macOS 26 will be replaced by macOS 27, and a new tree may be needed for macOS 26 only if any models are dropped.
