Abstract

The article discusses the upcoming release of macOS 26, highlighting that it introduces features such as Liquid Glass, a new Phone app, and improved Spotlight Search, but lacks groundbreaking innovations that excite users. In contrast, iPadOS 26 is presented as a more significant update with a new windowing system that enhances multitasking, positioning the iPad as a potential alternative to the Mac for productivity. The article reflects on Apple's strategy, suggesting that while the Mac remains a powerful tool for serious work, the company appears to be shifting focus towards the iPad, raising questions about the future relevance of macOS in Apple's ecosystem.
