Windows User Urges 6 macOS 27 Fixes Ahead of Apple’s June 8 WWDC

1 articles · Updated · PCMag · Jun 5

Summary

  • Six changes top Chris Hoffman’s macOS 27 wish list before Apple’s June 8 WWDC, with gaming support and broader app freedom framed as the biggest reasons a Windows user might switch.
  • Gaming sits at the center of that case: Hoffman argues Apple should improve backward compatibility, work with Valve on Proton-style support, and offset the end of Rosetta in macOS 27 for Intel-era titles.
  • App distribution is his second major complaint, with Apple’s 30% App Store cut and strict sandboxing blamed for keeping powerful Mac utilities outside the store and weakening discoverability and updates.
  • The remaining asks target daily usability—better optimization for 8GB Macs like the $599 MacBook Neo, Android phone integration, Face ID on Macs, and a return of Boot Camp for Apple silicon.
  • Hoffman says he expects far less at WWDC: mostly efficiency, stability, Liquid Glass refinements and more Apple Intelligence features, not major shifts on Android support, Boot Camp or App Store rules.
