macOS Tahoe 26 Beta 5 has officially retired the classic Macintosh HD icon, marking a significant design update in Apple's operating system. Users can now experience a refreshed look as the new icons are integrated into the system. This change reflects Apple's continued evolution in user interface design.

Apple has released the fourth beta of iOS 26, introducing changes to the Liquid Glass interface, the return of Apple Intelligence Notification Summaries for news, and updates to the Camera app and CarPlay wallpapers. Additional features include a new toggle in the Weather app, a renamed "Reduce Loud Sounds" option, and enhancements to call screening and the Passwords app. These updates are set to improve user experience and functionality ahead of the public beta release.
