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.
