macOS 27.3 beta brings Live Activities to the menu bar on Macs without a Dynamic Island, MacRumors reports
The first developer beta of macOS 27.3 brings Live Activities to the Mac menu bar, giving Macs without a Dynamic Island a way to show the glanceable updates that iPhone users already know, according to MacRumors.
Apple's new MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays replace the notch with a Dynamic Island, and that design includes support for Live Activities. The macOS 27.3 beta extends a version of the feature to other Apple silicon Macs, MacRumors reports. Instead of appearing around a screen cutout, the updates show up in the menu bar.
