9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-09-22 05:11:27

If you want a Mac with built-in cellular, Apple hopefully has a solution coming soon.

Photograph: Luke Larsen If you use a Mac every day like I do, though, a lot of the smaller changes are what give it its distinctly fresh feeling. The icons are what you'll notice first, which is right where the controversy begins. The iconic (heh) Finder icon has, indeed, been tampered with—though they haven't been flipped like in the original concept.
