Apple’s yearly operating system cycle seemed to mostly center on the iPhone for years, with some upgrades sometimes given for the Mac or iPad. Apple’s most recent operating system release is macOS Tahoe.
Indeed, macOS Tahoe uses a new design language that appears customized for other devices. Still, closer examination reveals the most important spotlight upgrades to date, which include direct access to app actions and Apple’s first clipboard manager. Shortcuts also get a significant productivity boost from the introduction of automations and access to Apple’s artificial intelligence models.
Additionally, there are several other little changes. Certainly, the fresh design of macOS Tahoe is a little bit haphazard, yet Apple appears to be improving, and there is still time to correct some of its most urgent problems. Still, after testing early versions of macOS Tahoe, one may confidently say that the productivity advantages will outweigh any design irregularities one may need to tolerate while Apple learns to apply its design ideology on the Mac.
Though it feels a little unbaked or incomplete in macOS Tahoe, Apple’s creative design, based on the concept of ‘Liquid Glass’ substance, is clear throughout its version 26 beta 2 release. Surely, there are several fresh additions: the menu bar is clear by default; the Dock has taken on a new glass-textured background; icons have been revised; and several interface components seem different. Still, the adjustments are not as dramatic as those observed on iOS and iPadOS.
The fresh design of the macOS Tahoe doesn’t transmit the same light and glassy sensation as it does on the iPhone and iPad OSs. The official explanation is that this method opens more room for user content, but obviously, using computer software frequently calls for engaging with interfaces to control content, data, and other aspects, and it appears that Apple has lost its balance in an imaginary effort to make every app look like a photo editor.
