Apple's latest macOS release is here, and it's bringing some serious changes to your Mac experience. MacRumors confirms that macOS Tahoe is the latest version of macOS, set to launch this fall with a complete visual overhaul called Liquid Glass. This is not just another incremental update. We are looking at what MoneyControl calls "the boldest macOS update in over a decade," and they are not wrong.
Hardware support tells the long game. MacRumors states that macOS Tahoe was seeded as a release candidate to beta testers on September 9, 2025, and the general release was on September 15, 2025. However, macOS Tahoe drops support for several older Intel Macs, though it is compatible with MacBook Pro, 2020 M1 and later, iMac, 2020 and later, Mac Pro, 2019 and later, Mac mini, 2020 M1 and later, Mac Studio, all models, and MacBook Air, 2020 M1 and later.
That cut is not just about speed. It lines up with Apple Intelligence features that run on device and signal a wider shift in how we compute. MoneyControl notes that Apple has said Rosetta 2, which lets Intel apps run on Apple silicon, will be severely restricted in the next macOS release. Tahoe is the bridge. After this, it is silicon or nothing.
If you are on Apple silicon and not chained to legacy software, MoneyControl reports that Tahoe's public beta is surprisingly stable. The bigger question is whether you are ready for the shift Tahoe represents, one that leans into integration, intelligence, and intuition.
Bottom line: macOS Tahoe reads like Apple's playbook for the Mac, more integrated, more intelligent, more intuitive. Whether you want the Liquid Glass glow or you just want proper phone integration on your desktop, this update shows Apple is not content to iterate. It is reimagining what a Mac can be. The mix of visual polish, workflow gains, and ecosystem cohesion makes this feel less like an update and more like a preview of what comes next, when the boundaries between our devices finally start to fade.
