"On Monday, Apple released macOS 26, also known as macOS Tahoe, to the world. The new operating system is available to anyone with an Apple Silicon Mac and also runs on some older Intel Macs, too. Apple's most heavily marketed feature of the new Mac operating system is its Liquid Glass redesign. Just like iOS 26 on the iPhone, macOS 26 brings translucent UI elements to the Mac that mimic the way light refracts through glass. It's fun eye candy, to be sure."
"With macOS 26, Apple has eliminated Launchpad, the primary point-and-click visual interface users previously used to launch apps, and replaced it with an overhauled Spotlight search tool that is built for power users-those who like to type instead of click to get things done. After using macOS 26 for more than a month now in beta, I feel like this is a big mistake on Apple's part."
macOS 26 (Tahoe) released for Apple Silicon Macs and some Intel Macs. The update introduces a Liquid Glass redesign that adds translucent UI elements mimicking light refraction. Apple removed Launchpad and replaced it with an overhauled Spotlight search tool oriented toward power users who prefer typing to clicking. The removal of Launchpad has caused consternation among longtime Mac users. Launchpad, introduced in OS X Lion (2011), unified app launching into an iPhone-like grid, simplifying access compared with a crowded Dock or browsing the Applications folder in Finder. Critics view the change as prioritizing keyboard-centric workflows over point-and-click usability.
