Apple rolls out RC versions of macOS 15.7 and 14.8 betas to developers [Update]

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-13 17:54:52

Just days after releasing macOS 15.6, Apple is now rolling out release candidate versions of macOS 15.7, as well as macOS 14.8.

RIP to the Macintosh HD hard drive icon, 2000–2025

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-13 18:07:07

Apple released a new developer beta build of macOS 26 Tahoe today, and it came with another big update for a familiar icon. The old Macintosh HD hard drive icon, for years represented by a facsimile of an old spinning hard drive, has been replaced with something clearly intended to resemble a solid-state drive (the SSD in your Mac actually looks like a handful of chips soldered to a circuit board, but we'll forgive the creative license). The Macintosh HD icon became less visible a few years bac
