starting whether it will be called MacOS 26 or MacOS 16, there are so many rumors about what brings what brings about what brings The next update to the Mac operating system. Here's what is expected, and most likely will happen.
The only confidence is that the next major MacOS update will be announced on June 9, 2025 during the main WWDC report. In addition, it is now very likely that this successor to Sequoia MacOS 15 will be called MacOS 26 & MDash; And there are very rumors that this will be announced as MacOS Tahoe.
If Apple calls MacOS after the region in California, this will continue the 12-year tradition. Previously, the then OS X was named after cats for about 11 years.
This is a change in numbering, if this happens, will be done in all Apple operating systems. Then they will correspond to each other, and also, since the number dates back to the year after release, it will be clearer when the OS came out.
Regardless of what is happening with a public name or the amount of MacOS, however, it is currently expected that a new update will occur with changes known as “Solarium”.
“Soloia” visual changes
repeated rumors make it likely that Mac and all operating systems Apple and MDash; Perhaps Bar Visionos for Apple Vision Pro & Mdash; He will receive significant, even dramatic, overhaul. The reason why Visionos will not receive such noticeable changes is that, as they say, what the Apple Vision Pro users are already seen.
There are no details, only a rather vague assumption that the visual overhaul of Mac will be a smooth and modern rethinking of a familiar interface. Back in 2020, Apple brought a lot of changes to the MacOS Big Sur, but it seems that the “solarium” will be more significant.
, as expected, the new MacOS 26 will receive design from Apple Vision Pro
that Mac, iPhone and iPad will look completely like visionos. But Visionos shows the latest application of the user interface Apple, therefore, at least some touch, such as windows, can come to the Mac.
there should be a functional advantage. It will not be so that Apple will simply bring a design that looks good, it must first offer better clarity or ease of use for Mac users.
, as always, when there are any rumors about Apple, although more speculation follows. In this case, the rumors that the “Solarium” update will bring a design in the style of Visionos for the Mac, led to some assumption that the MacBook Pro could follow the touch screen.
There were so many tips for so many years that Apple is considering a Mac with a touch screen that it cannot be excluded.
But Apple is extremely good in choosing when to declare what. Even if MacOS 26 can support touch screens, Apple may not show that until it launches the MacBook Pro touch screen.
Theoretically, Apple can launch devices on WWDC, but the conference is supposedly for developers. The company introduced new equipment in WWDC, but usually, when there was something to developers.
So, in 2020, Apple announced the first Apple Silicon equipment, especially the developers crossing.
it is unlikely that the addition of the sensory screen will significantly mean & mdash; or any & mdash; Additional work for developers, although. And at present, the next MacBook Pro looks as if he would appear later in 2025.
Apple 2025–2026 releases
in recent years, especially in 2024 With Apple intelligence, Apple, a beginner in newcomers. Therefore, and not everything that happens with the public issue in September 2025, at present, is more likely to spread to 2026. In addition, you can be sure that any updates of Apple Intelligence functions, they will first be on the iPhone.
However, it is invariably expected that Siri will receive a significant update with MacOS 26 and the rest of the Apple OS line. This would be mainly the same update, which was promised with the launch of the Apple Intelligence of 2024, but it was originally believed that there would be more.
In particular, it has been repeatedly reported that ChatGPT can also be for Siri. Perhaps there will still be, but the last rumors show that the WWDC of this year will become a large-scale business, and instead functions such as a chatbot will be announced.
, of course, something needs to be done with Siri, because instead of improvements, it sequentially demonstrates decrease in performance, accuracy and even just ease of use.
siri can receive LLM bacand in 2026
, but this falls into the area of the MacOS wishes, which should either come or actually, as you know.
which is known
Apple retains its OS details as secret as possible, with the exception of every May, when it is simply stated for us a number of functions. They are the latest accessibility functions that Apple is working on, and although the company never gives details about when they are released, they are in the next OS update.
These accessibility functions are on the iPhone & mdash; where they are perhaps the most useful and MDash; But they also include Mac. For example, an increase and reader of accessibility.
the former brings to the MAC an increase, which has long been on the iPhone. Use of the external chamber and MDash; Not built -in Mac Selfie One & Mdash; Users can indicate their lenses to everything they try to see.

In the same way, the reader of accessibility is intended for people with visual impairments. Like the existing representation of the reader in Safari, but with a large and thinner control element, it changes fonts, interval and colors to simplify reading.
MAC users will receive new Braille Access functions that include the ability to open Braille Ready Format (BRF) files. PLLUS startup will allow users to open any application by typing a connected device or entering the brill screen.
Apple also stated that she would introduce what he calls the access to the accessibility power supply to the Application store. This means that users will be able to see what accessibility functions are in the application or supports before loading it.
what else is expected
, according to the rumors, which will be prevented that Apple will interfere that it is now that it is now. supports Google Gemini as part of Apple intelligence. Currently, Apple Intelligence is supported only by ChatGPT, but more services were promised, and Google is interested.
Then, speaking of Apple Intelligence, there are rumors that the iPhone will receive a system of health of batteries with AI. So, if, for example, your calendar says that you have a meeting at 6 o’clock in the morning, the iPhone will know to charge completely instead of restraining until your usual time of awakening at 8 o’clock in the morning.
If it comes to the iPhone, for Apple it seems to be an easy victory for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Although Apple is working on IOS health systems, at least the iPhone 15, and some of these functions have not yet come to the Mac.
Game and Smart Houses
, taking into account that Apple recently recently Apple I bought Game Company, standing behind Sneaky Saskatch, she clearly has Ambiling, which perform in the game in the game in the game in the game.
Subsequently, according to rumors that Apple will use WWDC 2025 to present a game application. It is expected that Apple wants to install his devices as gaming, and therefore debuts in the game on all his devices.
Apple can present Homeos as a new software platform
Apple, of course, wanted to install their devices for use in smart houses and had Homekit services for many years. Now there are also rumors that new homo will be announced in WWDC.
again, if so, Apple will probably show it to the iPhone, possibly on the iPad, or, possibly, even expected, but not yet announced by Home Hub. Nevertheless, Homoos will be included in MacOS, at least in the presence of any new house application.
who will receive new functions
Every year, there is a problem that the latest macoses may have systemic requirements that cannot work like many Macs as a predictor. This had a tendency to mean that there was a clear line with some Mac supporting the new OS, and some did not.
MacOS 26 may not support the 2018 or IMAC Pro IMAC Pro 2017
this line was blurred because Apple moved from Intel to Apple Silicon. The versions of each MacOS since then have been released for both processors, but some functions should have been excluded from the Intel variety.
This time there are rumors that there will be famous MACs that cannot start MacOS 26 at all. These include:
- macBook Pro 2018
- intel macBook air
- IMAC PRO 2017
- mac mini 2018
Currently supported MacOS Sequoia, but these are also old Mac, which can use everything. Therefore, it will not be a surprise if they cannot support MacOS 26. It is quite possible that this can be even last year, when any unforeseen silicon Mac is supported.
WWDC 2025 and MacOS
, while you have long for you. They cannot be like 2020 when MacOS Big Sur seemed a huge overhaul of Mac.
But now, if the rumors are correct, the WWDC 2025 will include much more radical changes in the Mac than even this.
everything will be announced on the main house on June 9, 2025, and, of course, a beta developer will be published, then or very soon after that. This developer’s test will follow a few weeks of public.
even developers who should try new MacOS will not do this on their main production machines. Appleinsider recommends never installing any beta version and instead wait for the official public issue of MacOS 26 in September.
