macOS

I use iPhone Mirroring every day to quickly access my iPhone directly from my Mac, and it’s getting even better this year. iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate were announced last week, bringing three key updates to iPhone Mirroring. Here’s everything new.

macOS is designed to put your Mac to sleep when it is not being used. That is usually exactly what you want. Sleep saves power, protects battery life, and keeps a MacBook from running when it is closed and stuffed in a bag.

Sometimes tasks like downloads, backups, remote sessions, and AI coding need a temporary exception. Fortunately, there are some great Mac apps for giving you this control.

One addition to macOS 27 Golden Gate that went unmentioned during yesterday’s WWDC keynote was the fact that the system has improved its ultrawide display support. Here are the details.

macOS 27 includes several additions and improvements in Safari, including optional AI-powered features that help organize tabs and keep users up to date on changes to the websites they’re watching. Here’s everything new.

Among the new features in macOS 27 Golden Gate is the ability to resize the iPhone Mirroring window using additional aspect ratios. Here are the details.

And even though macOS 27 Golden Gate won’t launch for a few more months, you can already get the new light and dark wallpapers from the gallery below.

Apple is now rolling out macOS Golden Gate 27 beta 1 for developers. Here’s how to install it.

During the WWDC keynote today, Apple announced macOS Golden Gate 27, the next major OS version for the Mac. Here are the details.

A new post on Google’s Chromium blog shares the results of the latest Chrome performance benchmarks, including record scores on tests running on an M5 MacBook Pro. Here are the details.

Apple just rolled out macOS 26.5.1, which fixes a bug that had been causing Macs with the M5 Apple silicon to unexpectedly shut down under certain conditions. Here are the details.

Following this week’s release of macOS 26.6 beta 1 for developers, Apple is now rolling out the first public beta build of the next version of macOS. Here’s what to expect.

Following the release of mcOS 26.5 earlier this month, Apple has now kicked off the next wave of betas for macOS 26.6. Here are the details.

Desk setups are ever evolving. Because so much of our workflow and desk revolves around tech, which changes constantly, the products we use every day naturally change alongside it. But one thing I’ve noticed over the years is that when I invest a little more in premium accessories, they tend to last much longer. There will always be a place for budget-conscious products, but the accessories I keep coming back to are usually well-built, thoughtfully designed, and that improve my overall workflow. I wanted to share some of my favorite premium desk accessories that would benefit anyone’s setup, whether for gaming, work, or leisure.

The team behind the first public macOS kernel memory corruption exploit on M5 silicon has shared fresh details on how Mythos Preview helped bypass a five-year Apple security effort in five days.

Apple has published the enterprise release notes for macOS 26.5, detailing several fixes for issues affecting managed Macs. Here are the details.

Anthropic’s Mythos AI model has famously been kept fairly secret due to its apparent risk to software systems around the world. And today a new report says Mythos was used to expose macOS security vulnerabilities that Apple is investigating now.

Bartender got even more useful today with the release of Bartender Pro and a new feature called Top Shelf, which turns the Mac’s notch into a space for widgets, file storage, clipboard management, Live Activities, and more. Here are the details.

Apple is rolling out macOS 26.5 to all Macs compatible with macOS Tahoe. Here’s what’s new.

Developers and public beta testerscan now download the first Release Candidate of macOS 26.5, ahead of the official rollout in the coming days. Here’s what to expect from macOS 26.5.

Thunderbolt 5 debuted in September 2023. It was introduced as the new Thunderbolt standard that would slowly begin to replace Thunderbolt 4. It entered the scene, and we saw a big jump forward in bandwidth, display support, and overall capability. But what I noticed is that it was relatively slow to roll out, and the products we saw that did implement Thunderbolt 5 only did that. They just switched from Thunderbolt 4 to Thunderbolt 5 and shipped the same product otherwise. So when I saw Satechi announce some actual changes and improvements to their Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock, I had to check it out. I have used it for over two weeks, and this is what you should know.

Update: Apple is now rolling out public beta 3 (which is mismatched with developer beta 4, since Apple skipped a public beta release a few weeks ago). macOS 25.4 public beta 3 has the same build number as macOS 26.4 developer beta 4 released earlier today.

Just a week after releasing macOS 26.5 beta 3, Apple is now rolling out the fourth beta, ahead of its official release in a few weeks. Here’s what to expect.
