macOS 26 has been given the name Tahoe, after the lake, and it works on Macs as far back as most 2020 models and the 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2019. Several Macs, including the 13-inch MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2019, miss out this time around.

OS Tahoe’s Spotlight upgrade is easily one of the top 5 announcements from WWDC, and we're here to explain why.

Apple previewed the next version of its desktop OS, dubbed macOS Tahoe 26, alongside the upcoming iPadOS. But as other tech companies talk up generative AI, Cupertino focused more on visual upgrades, which will adopt a new "Liquid Glass" design philosophy to improve usability and the overall look.

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.

Finally, macOS Tahoe introduces Metal 4, the next-generation version of Apple's proprietary graphics API. The big new feature in Metal 4 is "frame interpolation," a feature similar to Nvidia's DLSS Frame Generation that will attempt to smooth frame rates by using AI to generate frames that it can insert between frames that the GPU actually renders.

Soon, you won't be able to run supported macOS versions on Intel x86-based PCs. How long before someone finds the next clever hack to merge the Mac and PC universes?

iOS 26’s sibling, iPadOS 26 for iPads, is also getting the “Liquid Glass” interface overhaul. That includes buttons and menu bars that resemble glass, reflections, and shadows. The only difference is that the new interface stretches across the larger displays found on Apple’s many iPad models.

Apple has unveiled macOS 26, the latest version of its Mac operating system, which chiefly brings with it a new system-wide visual look intended to make it more usable and productive.

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.
