Apple recently announced its latest update for MacOS 26, codenamed "Tahoe." It's full of new visual design elements like Apple's Liquid Glass design theme, better integration with the iPhone, and a more robust Spotlight feature that's better integrated with Shortcuts.

The big new change for macOS 26 is an overhauled design, following Apple’s new Liquid Glass aesthetic also announced at WWDC 25. The glass-like style encompasses the Dock, toolbars, app icons, widgets, and colors. Now, similar to the iPhone, users will be able to theme their Macs with color-matched folders and app icons that can be tinted.

Apple's new version of macOS is here, as a developer beta. Here's how to install it, what to expect, and which devices it's compatible with.

Apple just revealed a host of new features coming to MacOS 26 - but a few of them actually showed up on Windows first, including one that dates back decades.

At WWDC, Apple announced its new Liquid Glass design language, which is coming to all of its devices, including Macs. I’ve been tinkering with the macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta on the M4 MacBook Air for about a day. So far, the aesthetic changes range from slick to slightly overwrought, but the new Spotlight search features are nifty and useful.

Apple's AutoMix feature will debut in macOS 26 and iOS 26 in the fall. It's pretty good for casual listening, but won't replace good DJ software or a human with skill.

If you don't want to use Docker or Orbstack, you no longer have to under macOS 26: There is native support for Linux containers directly from the terminal.
