    WWDC 2026 Predictions: macOS

    WWDC 2026 is upon the world in less than a week. Amidst all of the usual kerfuffle that surrounds the event, I remain solely fixated on what Apple will bring to macOS. Like others, I’ve written about what I hope to see in macOS 27, but for this post, I’m going to share what I think Apple will actually announce.

    1. A user option to set a cohesive visual appearance across all Apple devices from the Mac. For example, if I want every Apple device to have the same wallpaper, accent color, etc. I can set it once and it will apply itself across all Apple devices.
    2. Related to the above, the ability to have the same wallpaper generatively scale and resize across Apple devices. Set once, see everywhere.
    3. The ability to toggle Widgets and Desktop icons ON or OFF from the Control Center.
    4. A built-in icon / wallpaper generator using Image Playground, that will feed into the above unified appearance prediction.

    What I Want from macOS in WWDC 2026

    A few days ago on the Rocket Yard blog, I pontificated on features and fixes I’d like Apple to include in macOS 27. My hopes are not high, particularly due to the rumors swirling around Apple’s intent to deeply embrace AI integration within their numerous operating systems. Nevertheless, my wish list may resonate with other Mac users. 

    At this moment in time, macOS 26.5 seems fine, in terms of its overall stability in my day-to-day use. I’ve tested it on both the Mac mini M4 and the M1 Pro MacBook Pro. If you’ve been avoiding Tahoe, now may be the time to give it a spin.

    With the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, I’m hoping to establish a clear Tahoe baseline. Some of the smaller annoyances I’m experiencing with macOS Tahoe on my M1 Pro model may stem from years of accumulated cruft.
