macOS 26 Tahoe: The Ars Technica Review
macOS 26 Tahoe introduces over 45 features including enhanced Spotlight search and a new Phone app, but users report Dock and Spaces freezes during full-screen app transitions.
- Apple released macOS Tahoe 26 in 2025, bringing new features, a Liquid Glass design, and apps like Journal and a revamped Games app to compatible Macs.
- The update follows months of public and developer beta testing since its announcement at WWDC 25 in June and includes fixes for bug issues like Spaces and Dock freezes.
- Notable features include a supercharged Spotlight Search with natural language and actionable commands, a transparent menu bar, device recovery assistant, and Live Translation powered by Apple Intelligence.
- "The Device Recovery Assistant will look for any problems" and "attempt to resolve them if found," while notifications gain a special 'summarized by Apple Intelligence' badge to signal possible inaccuracies.
- MacOS Tahoe marks the last major update for some Intel-based Macs and suggests ongoing improvements post-release, although users may wish to wait for 26.1 due to some remaining issues.
