With quiet but deliberate momentum, Apple has opened the second public beta of macOS Tahoe 26.4 to testers — a release that carries both the small comforts of restored browser features and the weight of an architectural farewell. The return of Safari's Compact tab layout and a new battery charge limit tool answer longstanding user wishes, while warnings about Rosetta 2 and the removal of Intel-specific code mark the closing of a chapter that shaped the Mac for nearly two decades. Every beta is a rehearsal for the future, and this one makes plain which future Apple has chosen.
