Everything You Need to Try in macOS 26 and iPadOS 26 Public Betas

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-26 09:40:00

You’re probably already tired of the rants about Apple’s Liquid Glass redesign, but that’s too bad, because iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, and all the other “OS 26” updates are now in public beta, and there’s a lot to unpack. You can sign up for the public beta program, though we should warn you that any beta software may introduce new glitches. If you’re planning to try the beta, you should back up your important files in case something should go awry. We took some time and tested macOS 26 and i

iPadOS 26 preview: A long-awaited multi-tasking update pays off (so far)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-28 15:25:22

I’m not going to beat around the bush: iPadOS 26 and its new multitasking features are a game-changer for Apple’s tablets. Pretty much ever since Steve Jobs introduced the iPad 15 years ago (!), Apple has tried to straddle two worlds. In one, the iPad is a super-simple, easy-to-use tablet with a gorgeous display and tons of good apps from the App Store for gaming, entertainment and light work. The other world is one where the iPad replaces your traditional computer, letting people do the serious

iPadOS 26 preview: The rare software update that makes (most) old hardware feel new

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-28 15:18:54

The Mac and the iPad are different devices that do different things. This has been the line from Apple executives, from its initial introduction to the advent of touchscreen PCs to just last month when Apple’s Craig Federighi talked to us about iPadOS 26’s new multitasking features. But it sometimes feels like this internal commitment to keeping the devices separate has held the iPad back as its hardware has become more capable. A mouse cursor?

You can actually multitask on an iPad now and it’s the best new feature in 15 years

I’ve gone back and forth over the years on whether or not I can actually work from an iPad. The answer has always been: sort of. I can write on an iPad. I can edit on an iPad. So, I guess I’ve always been able to “work” from an iPad.

I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for nearly $600. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share.
