Apple releases second betas of iOS 26.5 and macOS Tahoe 26.5
Apple has rolled out the second developer betas for iOS 26.5, macOS Tahoe 26.5, and the full suite of companion operating systems on April 13, 2026. The updates follow the initial betas released about two weeks earlier and continue the refinement phase for what appears to be a primarily maintenance-focused update.
Developers can download the new betas through the Apple Developer portal or over-the-air via Settings > General > Software Update on enrolled devices.
Public beta testers should see iOS 26.5 Public Beta 2 and macOS Tahoe 26.5 Public Beta 2 arrive in the coming days through the Apple Beta Software Program.
Build numbers include:
• iOS 26.5 beta 2: 23F5054d (IPSW) / 23F5054h (OTA)
• Corresponding builds for iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS Tahoe 26.5
As with Beta 1, testers are reporting that Beta 2 remains relatively light on visible new features. The focus seems to be on:
• Bug fixes and stability improvements
• Performance optimizations
• Under-the-hood refinements to Apple Intelligence and other system services
• Minor UI polishing (some users have noted subtle changes to Control Center blur effects and other interface elements on iPadOS)
No major new user-facing capabilities have been widely documented yet in Beta 2, which aligns with the pattern for .5-point releases that typically emphasize reliability ahead of the next major OS cycle.
These updates sit within the broader iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 releases, which introduced a refreshed design language (including “Liquid Glass” elements), enhanced Apple Intelligence capabilities, new Messages features like polls and backgrounds, and various productivity improvements.The 26.5 cycle is expected to deliver further refinements and security enhancements rather than headline-grabbing additions.
Who Should Install the Beta?
• Developers and testers: Ideal for those who want to validate apps against the latest changes and provide feedback to Apple.
• Everyday users: Best to wait for the final release unless you’re comfortable with potential bugs. Beta software can include unfinished features, battery drain, or app incompatibilities.
Apple typically iterates quickly through betas in the lead-up to a final release. With Beta 2 now available, we may see additional builds over the next few weeks as the company addresses reported issues. A release candidate could follow in the coming month, depending on testing feedback.
MacDailyNews Note: If you’re running the beta, be sure to report any issues through Apple’s Feedback Assistant app (or via the Feedback Assistant website) to help Apple deliver the smoothest possible final version.

Mac user base could double over the next decade – Horace Dediu
Horace Dediu argues that Apple’s rumored low-cost MacBook Neo could be the catalyst that finally expands the Mac platform beyond its traditional base. With the current installed base hovering around 260 million users — built on decades of sales and exceptional device longevity — a well-targeted entry-level Mac has a realistic shot at bringing in millions of first-time switchers from Windows. Doubling the user base over the next decade isn’t guaranteed, but it’s now an achievable and worthwhile goal.
[Via MarketWatch:]
It’s a massive untapped opportunity for Apple, whose Mac installed base of 260 million units lags far behind the iPhone installed base of 1.5 billion units. Mohan believes the total addressable market for the Neo could be $32 billion for 2026. If Apple can capture just 10% of that market for budget laptops, and do so with a 19% operating margin, the company can boost earnings per share by an incremental 3 cents, according to Mohan.
“We see Neo driving meaningful adoption for first-time Mac owners with a distinct customer base relative to the Air and Pro models,” Mohan wrote.
The Neo will dramatically disrupt competitors in the market for budget personal computers, Seaport analyst Jay Goldberg wrote in a Monday note, as the $500 to $700 price tier is one of the most profitable segments for PC makers. Both Mohan and Goldberg have a buy rating and $320 price target on Apple’s stock, implying over 20% of upside from current levels.
Read: Apple turns 50. Here’s how it can shake its midlife crisis.
As Apple expands into the budget computer market, the company is also looking to seize share from its smartphone competitors during a period of memory crunch. Artificial-intelligence infrastructure is gobbling up so much memory that many suppliers have sold out their capacity through at least next year. That has an impact on makers of consumer hardware that also count memory as a key component.
Apple has been paying a premium to buy up memory chips in what Goldberg believes is a “is part of a deliberate strategy for the company to tighten conditions for its competitors.”
This strategy forces competitors to either raise prices for customers or reduce the memory content in their products, according to Goldberg. Meanwhile, he believes Apple intends to maintain both the memory content and pricing of its phones, allowing the iPhone maker to gain share even as the overall phone market shrinks by roughly 10%.
This strategy “will not come cheap for Apple,” Goldberg warned, noting that Apple’s product gross margin could sink to the low-30% range from the high-30% range seen a year ago.
“That said, we think the company can make up for some of this lost ground through its share gains,” he wrote, as new Apple users are likely to subscribe to Apple’s higher-margin subscription services to offset the hardware costs.
Mohan expressed similar sentiments, arguing that the Neo could lead to a stickier overall installed base for Apple and “increased services use over time.”
The Neo will move the needle and the supply crunch will hamper competition…
It’s a long way to go to 1 billion Mac users and I don’t know if it will ever happen given that most will have to switch from Windows and the lock-in is strong regardless of a better and cheaper alternative being available.
Nevertheless, a doubling of the Mac user base is certainly a worthy and achievable goal over the next decade.
MacDailyNews Take: Mac works better with iPhone. With 1.5 billion iPhone users — and growing — Apple has significant headroom for Mac to expand, especially now that it’s targeting budget-conscious buyers with the MacBook Neo. One billion Mac users is certainly achievable, even if it takes a while.
Apple should really focus on getting the word out to the average Joe about how much better it is for iPhone users to have a Mac than to handicap themselves with some crappy Windows PC or Chromebook.
Even a simple series of videos and ads with regular people explaining that “with a MacBook Neo and an iPhone I can do this, but before, with just a PC, I couldn’t” would go a long way.
• Copy anything on your iPhone and paste instantly on the MacBook Neo
• Start a task on one device and instantly continue on the other (Handoff)
• Use your iPhone as a high-quality webcam or document scanner for the MacBook Neo
• AirDrop files, photos, or videos between iPhone and MacBook Neo in seconds
• Send and receive iMessages/SMS and make calls directly from the MacBook Neo
• Unlock your MacBook Neo automatically with your iPhone (or Apple Watch)
• Seamless photo/video editing flow: Snap photos or shoot video on your iPhone and they appear instantly in the Photos app on the MacBook Neo (thanks to iCloud)
• Use iPhone as a second display or sidecar-like extension (with Continuity features) for extra screen real estate on the go
• Share passwords, Wi-Fi networks, or Focus modes automatically across both devices
The MacBook Neo turns your iPhone from “just a phone” into a true extension of your laptop. Many of these Continuity features simply don’t exist in the same effortless way on Windows PCs or Chromebooks.

Amazon to acquire Globalstar for $11.57 billion in attempt to challenge Starlink; Apple owns approximately 20% of Globalstar
Amazon.com announced on Tuesday it has agreed to acquire satellite communications company Globalstar in an $11.57 billion deal, significantly strengthening its satellite ambitions as it seeks to compete with Elon Musk’s dominant Starlink service.
The acquisition will give Amazon immediate access to Globalstar’s network of approximately two dozen low-Earth orbit satellites, while also securing continued support for key Apple safety features that rely on Globalstar’s infrastructure.
Under the terms of the deal, Globalstar shareholders will have the option to receive either $90 in cash or 0.3210 shares of Amazon common stock for each share they own.
Covington, Louisiana-based Globalstar is best known for powering Apple’s Emergency SOS via satellite feature on iPhones and Apple Watches. The company provides voice, data, and asset-tracking services to enterprise, government, and consumer customers worldwide.
Amazon has been aggressively building out its own Project Kuiper satellite broadband network. The company currently operates more than 200 satellites and plans to deploy around 3,200 satellites in low-Earth orbit by 2029, with roughly half required to be in place by a July 2026 regulatory deadline. Amazon intends to begin rolling out its satellite internet services later this year.
In contrast, Starlink — the satellite internet unit of Musk’s SpaceX — already has about 10,000 satellites in orbit and serves more than nine million users globally, making it the clear market leader in the fast-growing satellite broadband sector.
Apple owns approximately 20% of Globalstar
Apple’s stake was acquired in November 2024 as part of a broader ~$1.5 billion commitment to support the expansion of Globalstar’s satellite network for iPhone and Apple Watch satellite features (such as Emergency SOS and messaging). Specifically, Apple paid about $400 million for a 20% equity stake (400,000 Class B shares), with the remaining ~$1.1 billion provided as cash commitments for new satellites, ground infrastructure, and related debt repayment.
As part of the transaction, Amazon and Apple — which has invested approximately $1.5 billion in Globalstar — have signed a separate agreement to ensure the continued operation of satellite-based safety features, including Emergency SOS and Find My, for iPhone and Apple Watch users.
Globalstar said late last year that a new Apple-backed network currently under development would expand its constellation to 54 satellites, including backups.
Amazon’s move underscores the intensifying competition in the satellite internet space, where companies are racing to provide high-speed broadband connectivity to remote and underserved areas around the world. By acquiring Globalstar, Amazon gains established satellite assets and operational expertise as it works to close the gap with Starlink.
MacDailyNews Note: The deal is expected to close in 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and Globalstar achieving certain satellite deployment milestones.

‘Apple’s true achievement is the culture Steve Jobs instilled’ – Gene Munster
Longtime Apple analyst Gene Munster has obsessed about all things Apple for more than 20 years. When asked for Apple’s defining achievement, he is tempted to talk about the iPhone. In reality, the answer is much deeper than a single product. Apple’s true achievement is the culture Steve Jobs instilled that made the Mac and iPhone possible and has sustained the business long after those launches, Munster writes. As Apple looks toward the decades ahead, investors can rest easy knowing that Jobs’ product discipline remains embedded in the culture, and that culture will be the foundation for future hit products.
Gene Munster via GeneMunster.com:
The clearest evidence of what Jobs and the culture he built brought to Apple is found by looking back at AAPL’s performance during the years he was gone. From 1985 to 1996, AAPL shares were up 30%, while the Nasdaq rose 310%. That underperformance reflected some product quality issues, but more importantly, it reflected a weak product vision that translated into underwhelming revenue growth. During that period, the company grew by an average of 13% a year.
Jobs’ return in late 1996 changed that trajectory. Since then, revenue growth averaged 28% from 2000–2015 and 19% from 2000–2025. Even more staggering, during that period AAPL shares have risen roughly 176,000%, versus approximately 1,700% for the Nasdaq. While the iPhone was the most visible outcome of that era, the core reason it all came together is that Jobs rebuilt Apple around a philosophy, not a product. He believed winning companies shouldn’t ask consumers what they want, but rather build something they couldn’t live without.
What makes that culture lasting is that Jobs knew it was their defining advantage, so he built a system to maintain it. Even after learning in 2003 that he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer, he remained deeply engaged when most CEOs would have stepped down. In 2008, he founded Apple University to institutionalize Apple’s way of thinking, ensuring employees understood the principles behind its best decisions.
MacDailyNews Take: As long as Apple steadfastly preserves the extraordinary culture that Steve Jobs built (the very culture that has defined the company for most of the last 50 years) the company will continue to win over consumers decade after decade. Continuing to adhere to its unique Jobsian culture, Apple’s future isn’t just bright; it’s inevitable.

Warren Buffett reveals the real reason why Berkshire cut its Apple stake in half
Berkshire Hathaway has sold well over half of its stake in Apple in recent years, significantly reducing the tech giant’s weight in its portfolio. Once accounting for roughly half of Berkshire’s equity holdings, Apple no longer represents such a dominant position. Importantly, the massive stock sale had nothing to do with any concerns over Apple’s business performance.
David Jagielski for The Motley Fool:
Apple has been a staple in Berkshire’s portfolio, but in recent years, Berkshire has not only been trimming its position in the tech company, but it’s been drastically unloading it. From its peak, Berkshire has reduced its stake in Apple by more than 75%. While it’s still the top holding and the position is worth close to $60 billion today, it no longer accounts for more than half of the portfolio, as it did in the past.
And that, it seems, was the big problem for Buffett. “I wasn’t happy for it to be larger than everything else combined.” Today, Apple’s stock accounts for just under 19% of Berkshire’s portfolio, with American Express not being far behind at 15%. A few years ago, the delta was much more significant between the first and second holdings.
Another factor that may have played a big role in Buffett’s decision to sell Apple stock was likely the significant profit the company was sitting on from the position. Berkshire has made over $100 billion in profit on the sale of Apple stock. And with uncertainty around taxes and how capital gains might be treated in the future, securing those profits may have motivated Buffett to sell sooner rather than later.
Over the past five years, both Berkshire and Apple have been solid investments, with the former generating returns of 79% and the latter nearly doubling in value. Going forward, they still look like terrific investments to buy and hold.
MacDailyNews Take: So, if he were following his own advice, Buffett’s real reason for selling Apple shares was a bad reason. Having a single stock holding that exceeds everything else in your portfolio combined isn’t necessarily a problem — especially in light of Buffett’s well-known views on the subject. As he has famously said, “Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing” and “invest in what you know.”
There’s no two ways about it: Leaving over $35 billion on the table in a single year on a single stock is simply legendarily bad investing.
If Buffett’s calling these nonsensical, losing shots, maybe it’s time he wasn’t. If Buffett’s no longer making the calls, that doesn’t bode well for Berkshire Hathaway’s future. – MacDailyNews, December 18, 2024

Apple TV flick ‘Outcome,’ starring Keanu Reeves, is ‘awkward, clumsily maudlin, and shot like a fever dream’ – NYT
Apple TV’s “Outcome” is a dark comedy that centers on Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves), a beloved Hollywood star who must dive into the depths of his hidden demons after he is extorted with a mysterious video that’s sure to shatter his image and end his career. With the support of his lifelong besties Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Bomer), along with his crisis lawyer Ira (Jonah Hill), Reef embarks on a soul-searching journey to make amends with anyone he could have possibly wronged in hopes of identifying the blackmailer. Co-writer and director Hill looks to bring a unique lens to Reef’s wild but spiritually cleansing, nostalgic, and eye-opening trip down memory lane, where confronting his past might be the only way to rescue his future.
Brandon Yu for The New York Times:
In “Outcome,” Keanu Reeves plays a washed-up movie star who has been a noxious narcissist and addict — in private. For years, his team has been protecting his public persona as the nicest guy in Hollywood.
But the second part mostly feels like a limply added asterisk, as if the film, directed by Jonah Hill, realized halfway through that it had to explain its miscast of Reeves as a notorious jerk. That’s a big enough misfire, but it’s just the first in “Outcome,” a film that is shot like a fever dream and written like a puckish remake of “Jay Kelly.”
Reeves isn’t able to rise above the material, but he’s not really given much to begin with; most of the film consists of its eclectic cast (Cameron Diaz as the best friend; Martin Scorsese as the former manager) talking at Reeves while he sits in dejected silence until he finally lashes out in a stilted, histrionic fit. The most extreme case is Hill, who plays Reef’s crisis lawyer, and seems to be doing a misguided twist on Tom Cruise’s demented executive in “Tropic Thunder.”
“Outcome” is an altogether bizarre turn from Hill as a director: His previous films (“Mid90s,” “Stutz”) were, even amid some stylistic cribbing, clearly borne out of a personal, considered worldview. Here he’s made a slapdash satire of modern celebrity culture that is awkward where it wants to be acerbic and clumsily maudlin where it wants to be meaningful.
MacDailyNews Take: The outcome was poor. The film currently has a 2.2 out of 5 audience rating (32% Popcornmeter) and a weak 27% Tomatometer rating (critics) on Rotten Tomatoes.

No, Apple is not erasing Lebanese towns from Apple Maps
Claims spread rapidly over the weekend on X alleging that Apple had deliberately removed the names of numerous towns and villages in southern Lebanon from its Maps app. Critics, including journalists and influencers, shared screenshots showing large areas of southern Lebanon appearing sparsely labeled or unlabeled, while nearby locations in Israel and Syria displayed town names more prominently. Some posts accused Apple of “erasing Lebanon’s history” and suggested the changes were timed to coincide with Israel’s ongoing military operations in the region.
Users pointed out that at certain zoom levels, southern Lebanese villages that exist on other mapping services (like Google Maps) seemed absent or harder to find on Apple Maps. Posts claimed Apple could easily add verified town names “in five minutes” if it wanted to, implying political motivation amid the Israel-Lebanon conflict.
Apple’s Response and the Facts
Apple has firmly denied the accusations. In statements provided to media outlets, the company clarified that the villages and towns highlighted in the viral posts were never featured on Apple Maps in the first place.
According to Apple, its most detailed Maps experience has not yet launched in Lebanon. As a result, labeling in the region has historically been sparser compared to Google Maps, which draws from different data sources and often displays more local names even at broader zoom levels. Smaller villages on Apple Maps typically only appear when users zoom in very closely or search for them directly.
Importantly, there is no evidence of recent deletions. No before-and-after comparisons have surfaced proving that these specific labels were visible on Apple Maps previously and then removed. Archived user complaints about limited mapping detail in Lebanon date back several years, indicating this is a longstanding data coverage gap rather than a sudden, targeted change.
There is no evidence that Apple erased or removed Lebanese towns from its Maps app. The controversy appears to stem from longstanding differences in how mapping services handle data in the area, not any new action linked to the current conflict.
Digital maps rely on vast, constantly updated datasets from multiple providers. Variations in coverage are common, especially in regions affected by conflict or with less commercial priority for certain services. While accurate mapping is important for navigation, humanitarian efforts, and preserving geographic knowledge, accusations of intentional “erasure” require clear proof of removal — which has not materialized here.
MacDailyNews Take: Lebanon has faced decades of political instability, economic crises, and conflict, which likely makes it a lower priority for detailed mapping coverage by Apple Maps.
Apple Maps continues to show major cities in Lebanon (such as Beirut, Tyre, and Sidon), and users can still search for and navigate to specific villages when the data exists.

Apple TV’s ‘The Husbands’: Joe Alwyn, Richard Gadd, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Joel Kinnaman, Daniel Ings, Bob Morley, and Fehinti Balogun to star with Juno Temple in A24 series
Last April, Apple TV announced the new eight-episode comedic drama “The Husbands,” starring SAG and BAFTA Award winner Juno Temple (“Ted Lasso,” “Fargo,” “Atonement”), from A24, and adapted from award-winning author and games designer Holly Gramazio’s New York Times bestselling book of the same name.
When Lauren (Temple) returns home to her flat in London late one night, she is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There’s only one problem — she’s never seen this man before in her life. As Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new husband emerges. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb, how do you know you’ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?
Stewart Clarke for Deadline:
With an attic of husbands to cast over eight episodes, Apple and A24 have put together an impressive lineup, which leans heavily on British talent. Alwyn recently starred in Hamnet, and is joined in the cast by Gadd, who is also about to appear in Half Man, his next show after Netflix smash hit Baby Reindeer.
Ben-Adir’s credits include Bob Marley: One Love and Barbie, while U.S.-Swedish star Kinnaman is currently in multiple streaming shows including Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole and For All Mankind. Ings, meanwhile, is recently off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Balogun starred in Down Cemetery Road and Australian actor Morley was in The 100.
MacDailyNews Note: Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions, on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL and others, Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, Chromecast with Google TV, PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles, and at tv.apple.com, for $12.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. For a limited time, customers who purchase and activate a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV 4K or Mac can enjoy three months of Apple TV for free.

Apple’s failed AI Chief John Giannandrea to finally exit this week
Apple’s failed AI chief, John Giannandrea, will finally exit the company after several years at the helm, after the company announced in a December 2025 press release that the executive would “retire” this spring.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
It’s been a long goodbye for John Giannandrea, the former artificial intelligence boss known as JG. His days were numbered ever since March 2025, when Cook and other Apple executives made the decision to dramatically reduce his role overseeing AI. The move stemmed from the disappointing launch of Apple Intelligence and ongoing delays to the upgrade of the Siri assistant — as well as the broader sense that the company got ambushed by generative AI. At the time, his oversight of Siri, robotics and other AI teams was yanked.
At the end of last year, Apple made the exit official, saying that Giannandrea would be retiring in 2026. His remaining responsibilities — Apple’s foundation models, AI testing and various other functions — were split up across software chief Craig Federighi, services head Eddy Cue and operating chief Sabih Khan. Since then, JG has been “advising,” or what is better known as “resting and vesting.” That means hanging out on the payroll until his stock vests.
The next Apple vesting date is April 15, and I am told JG’s final days at Apple are indeed this coming week…
Giannandrea came to Apple from Google, and he will likely be remembered as another of Cook’s outside hires that failed to click. But here’s the reality: I don’t think the issue is that Cook doesn’t know how to hire from the outside. The truth is that the top of Apple is run like a small family business with few decision-makers. And if you’re not in the inner circle — which is nearly impossible to crack — you’re simply not empowered enough to drive real change at the company.
MacDailyNews Take: Cook doesn’t know how to hire from the outside precisely because, for some fifteen years now, he has failed to create the proper onboarding and integration conditions necessary for outside hires to succeed.
