Tahoe’s Liquid Glass redesign, deeper Apple Intelligence integration, and an unusually practical set of Continuity improvements make it less a cosmetic...
Apple and Microsoft have pushed the desktop into sharply different directions this year: macOS Tahoe bets on a curated, privacy‑first, design‑led desktop infused with on‑device AI, while Windows 11 continues to trade on hardware variety, backward compatibility, and a rapidly expanding set of...
Apple’s macOS 26 “Tahoe” and Microsoft’s Windows 11 no longer compete on the same flat plane — Tahoe doubles down on a design‑led, privacy‑first desktop infused with on‑device intelligence, while Windows 11 pushes AI into a broadly compatible, enterprise‑ready platform that still owns gaming and...

Apple’s latest move to push health sensors into earbuds — and iOS 26’s Workout Buddy — changes the rules for people who buy wearables primarily to track exercise, and it raises a direct question: do you still need an Apple Watch to close your rings and monitor workouts?
