Apple has finally announced a redesign to macOS with a new ‘Liquid Glass’ design all over the system. This is the second redesign of macOS in the recent times after macOS Big Sur. Everything from icons to the System UI will now adapt to the surrounding elements with the translucent material. macOS 26 Tahoe is not just a visual redesign, but also a feature-packed update.
As Apple keeps adding new advanced features to macOS, they have confirmed in their Platforms State of the Union event that they will drop support for all Intel Macs with the release of macOS 27 next year. However, as always, security updates will be released for these Macs for a certain amount of time.
macOS Tahoe has already dropped support for Intel MacBook Airs from 2018-2020, as well as older MacBook Pro models from 2018 along with some models from 2019. You can have a look at the list of supported devices here.
As macOS Tahoe is still under development, it is currently only available to Developers for beta testing with it expanding to Public Beta Testers next month. For Beta Testing macOS Tahoe as a Developer, you need to have a Developer Account with Apple and turn on Beta Updates under Settings>Software Update. The update is expected to be released to the public in September this year along with the upcoming iPhone 17 series.
