Although there are no details available about the content of the next macOS update (v10.13), it is safe to assume that it will be a minor upgrade over the forthcoming Sierra 10.12.4 update which will reintroduce iOS 9's Night Shift mode on Macs along with Siri enhancements.

Some of the noteworthy features added with the macOS 10.12 update include notification and keyboard improvements, Desktop and Documents Sync, Universal Clipboard and Auto Unlock.

Apple is likely to announce the next major upgrades to macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS at the annual developers' conference which is set to kick off on 5 June.
