Apple today provided public beta testers with the first release of an upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.3 update for testing purposes. The public beta comes two days after Apple provided the beta to developers.
After signing up for beta testing on Apple's beta site, public beta testers can download the updates using the Software Update section in the System Settings app.
We don't know about any new features in macOS Tahoe 26.3 as of yet, but Apple might introduce new capabilities in later beta releases.
The beta is limited to developers and public beta testers at the current time, but we are expecting Apple to release the update at the end of January.
While the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are not expected to launch for more than five more months, there are already plenty of rumors about the devices.
It was initially reported that the iPhone 18 Pro models would have fully under-screen Face ID, with only a front camera visible in the top-left corner of the screen. However, the latest rumors indicate that only one Face ID component...
We're long overdue for an Apple TV update, and there have been rumors about an imminent refresh since late last year. It's now sounding like we're not going to get a new version for several months because of Siri delays. If you're holding out for a new model, here's a recap on what to expect when it eventually comes out so you can decide whether to continue to wait, or buy now.

Apple today provided the release candidate version of an upcoming macOS Tahoe 26.4 update to developers and public beta testers for testing purposes, with the update coming a week after Apple seeded the fourth beta. The release candidate represents the final version of macOS Tahoe 26.4 that will be provided to the public if no additional bugs are found.

First time I haven’t upgraded Mac OS by the .1 update. All the comments are still holding me back - is it really that bad?!
I'm grateful for being able to roll back to Sequoia. With the same usual workflow on my M2 MBP, my battery was dead within 3 hours. On 15.7.3, it's still lasting me 6-7 hours on average before needing to even consider finding a charger.
After a week of trying to deal with Tahoe, rolling back to Sequoia was a breath of fresh air. The Fisher Price UX isn't at all conducive to a professional work environment.
I don't know if anyone at Apple will read this but my good please fix Safari. Since Tahoe it every day will freeze up trying to load two websites at once. I constantly have to force quit and then reopen and it loads. It seems to happen often when YouTube, chess.com are open especially if I have a YouTube webpage in the dock. Please try to repo this it's an awful experience and never happened before Tahoe.
Huh. I don't have that issue at all on 26.2. Wondering what is going on with your setup.

Agreed. It's been awesome on my Mac Studio M2 Max and MacBook Air M3.
I love how people think it's Apple's fault and everyone is experiencing things that is unique to them. As if posting in Apple Forums will get them to go, "Oh, so and so told us to fix Safari, we'd better get on that." Love it.
