Apple has released the second beta of macOS Tahoe 26 for developers, following the initial beta launch two weeks ago after WWDC. This latest beta can be accessed by registered developers through the System Settings app. macOS Tahoe introduces a Liquid Glass redesign that spans across all recent updates, signifying a significant visual and functional transformation.
Notably, macOS Tahoe marks the debut of the Phone and Journal apps on the Mac, alongside a new cross-platform Games app. One of the most significant enhancements is the overhaul of Spotlight, now allowing users to execute various tasks, such as sending emails, without the need to open dedicated applications. Additional improvements have been made to several core apps, including Messages, Safari, and Notes.
As developers explore the features of macOS Tahoe, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding other upcoming Apple products. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to launch in approximately three months. Recent rumors suggest that these models will feature an aluminum frame, a shift from the titanium frame used in previous versions.
Additionally, an opt-in Adaptive Power Mode is set to be introduced in iOS 26, allowing minor adjustments to enhance battery life. Moreover, Apple may be working towards an all-screen iPhone design, with expectations of a redesigned 20th-anniversary iPhone model in the near future. Developers are also examining the tweaks in the second beta of iOS 26, particularly improvements in the Control Center’s appearance, enhancing usability.
In the meantime, a promotion is available for college and university students, offering free AirPods with the purchase of eligible Macs or iPads, further cementing Apple’s commitment to engaging with its educational community.
