Here are the details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Less than a week after releasing macOS 26.4, Apple is now rolling out the first developer beta of macOS 26.5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">macOS 26.4 introduced multiple features that Apple had not previously announced, chief among them the new Charge Limit feature. macOS 26.4 also brought eight new emoji, the first consumer-facing alert about Rosetta 2\u2019s sunsetting, and the return of the compact tab view in Safari.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">This will likely be the last major macOS 26 update before WWDC26, where Apple is expected to announce macOS 27. Last year, macOS 15.5 rolled out in May, while macOS 15.6 was launched in July, after WWDC25.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">As is usually the case with first betas, it is currently unknown which, if any, changes or bug fixes Apple has got in store. We are digging through the system and will report back with noteworthy findings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Here\u2019s how to install the macOS Tahoe 26.5 developer beta 1:<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Did you spot any changes in today\u2019s betas? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"context\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">Why it matters<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">News like this often changes audience expectations and competitors\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">When one player makes a move, others usually react \u2014 it is worth reading the event in context.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"anp-pro-aside\" aria-label=\"outlook\">\n<p class=\"anp-pro-kicker\">What to look out for next<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">The full picture will become clear in time, but the headline already shows the dynamics of the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Further statements and user reactions will add to the story.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The topic Apple releases macOS 26.5 beta 1 is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 &hellip;
