A new website takes Apple’s most persistent software bugs and reframes them as a hilarious scoreboard, using intentionally over-the-top math to estimate how many collective human hours they’ve supposedly wasted over the years.

After releasing iOS 26.2.1 for iPhone earlier today, the company is now rolling out macOS 26.3 beta 3 for developers. Here’s what to expect.

Kicking off the 2026 beta period, Apple is rolling out today macOS 26.3 beta 2 for developers, alongside beta 2 releases for iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3, and more. Here’s what’s new.

macOS Tahoe app icons came under fire late last year with commenters describing them as “terrible” and “objectively bad.” In our poll, 9to5Mac readers had exceedingly mixed views.

Software engineer Nikita Prokopov has now drawn attention to the icons used within menus and pointed out that they almost exactly mirror the approach which Apple’s Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines advised against back in 1992 …

Happy New Year! Here’s my list, in no specific order, of macOS apps that I keep installed on my Mac.

Whether you just got your first Mac or upgraded to a brand-new machine, it’s always helpful to get started on the right set of tools. Here are the very first apps I usually install as soon as I get a new Mac.

If you’ve noticed odd screen flickering since installing macOS Tahoe, you’re not alone. A growing number of users are reporting brief but distracting display flickers, particularly when using Apple’s Studio Display.

After releasing the first developer beta of macOS Tahoe 26.3 earlier this week, Apple is already rolling out its public counterpart. Here’s what to expect.

Just a few days after releasing macOS 26.2, Apple is now rolling out the first developer beta for macOS 26.3. Here’s what’s coming.

Following a few weeks of beta testing, macOS Tahoe 26.2 is now rolling out to the general public. Here’s what’s new.

After macOS Tahoe launched, some intrepid developers noticed that Electron apps could cause the Mac’s rendering system to be overloaded due to an incompatibility with the way Electron apps were overriding the default window corner mask. Users would experience issues like stuttery scrolling when interacting with any app (including non-Electron ones), as long as an Electron app window was currently visible on the desktop.

Major Electron-based apps have subsequently released software updates to work around this bug, but this meant waiting for an update from the developer of each Electron app installed on your Mac. With the latest 26.2 betas, Apple has now fixed the incompatibility at a system-wide level.

macOS Tahoe 26 brought clipboard history to Spotlight, which is great. However, there’s much more that Apple can do, particularly with the help of Apple Intelligence and third-party models. Here’s how.

Apple released the M4 MacBook Air back in March of 2025. On the surface it was not a game changing improvement compared to the previous model. We did get some new FaceTime camera features and better external display support but nothing really jumped out at you. But the magic of this laptop is the amount of value you get for the price. Right now you can get a brand new M4 MacBook Air from Amazon for under $750. The amount of power, efficiency and sheer computer you get for that price is insane. Let’s dive in.

Believe it or not, the M4 Mac mini was released just over a year ago. Apple changed the footprint, design, and form factor to create a compact 5in x 5in x 2in aluminum box with a fan at the bottom. It was a nice upgrade from its predecessor. But, in all honesty, I was not expecting much. I figured it would be a fine computer, especially because Apple debuted it at a $599 price point ($499 now on Amazon). So I thought to myself, there has to be some limitation that everyday users would notice, right? But after using this for an entire year as my main desktop, it has completely distorted how I think about computers and what real value in tech should look like.

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find a tech accessory in 2025 that’s both functional and fun to use. As so many of these accessories become more commoditized, they begin to function and look the same, making them fade into the background. So when I saw the Wokyis Retro Docking Station for the M4 Mac mini, I was immediately intrigued. It transforms the Mac mini into something straight out of 1984. On paper, it had all the functions I needed out of a dock, but it was also such a cool-looking product. After using it for three weeks, it checked off every box. Here is what you need to know.

One day after releasing macOS Tahoe 26.1 developer beta 2, Apple is now rolling out the second wave of public betas. Here’s what to expect.

Alongside Release Candidates for iOS and macOS 26, Apple is also rolling out multiple public and developer beta versions for other iOS and macOS versions. Here is the full list.

A while ago, Apple used to include a software feature with macOS on older iMac models. It was called Target Display Mode, and it allowed you to turn an iMac into an external display once your iMac was too dated to be a usable computer. The company got rid of it with the introduction of the 5K iMac due to technical limitations at the time – though said limitations no longer pose a challenge.
