macOS Tahoe 26 significantly enhances the Mac experience through improved capability, productivity, and intelligence. Its modernized design offers a visually appealing and more usable interface. Enhanced Continuity features, particularly with the Phone app, enable seamless cross-device integration for streamlined communication and increased productivity in multitasking workflows.
More observant Mac users will know that every couple of years, Apple makes a small change that some would say turns the page on a bit of classic Mac history.
Apple removed the iconic Mac startup chime from all new Macs, starting with the MacBook Pro line. Macs went on to boot silently until 2020, when the startup chime made a triumphant (and optional) comeback in macOS Big Sur.
More recently, macOS also lost the fun little “poof” animation and sound that were triggered when you dragged an icon out of the Dock. If you’ve never read it, here’s its origin story.
This year, though, the change feels a bit more symbolic, especially for those who’ve been lamenting Apple’s slow but steady loss of whimsy across its operating systems.
 Intel Macs with no notice. The company has also said that it plans to provide security updates for those Macs for two years after Tahoe is replaced by macOS 27 next year. These Macs aren't getting special treatment—this has been Apple's unspoken, unwritten policy for macOS security updates for decades now—but to look past its usual "we don't comment on our future plans" stance to give people a couple years of predictability is something we've been pushing Apple to do for a long time.
The Phone app has finally arrived on MacOS, allowing for a more streamlined user experience between your iPhone and computer. Users can now access recent calls and contacts synced from your iPhone, and make calls with a single click in the same way. What's more, the Phone app will include the new features added in iOS 26, including Hold Assist and Call Screening. 
In addition to calls and contacts, live activities from the iPhone will be visible on your Mac, such as tracking an Uber or a delivery from Seamless. Clicking on the live activity will open up iPhone Mirroring, which will allow you to take action directly from your Mac.
