The beta is limited to developers and public beta testers at the current time, but we are expecting Apple to release the update at the end of January.

I see a lot of bugs being reported on Reddit. Similarly many of the visuals remain unaddressed, such as the top header bar in Preview being a complete mess, the blurred text making buttons unreadable in most headers and Photos taking on the wrong color (dark vs light) causing this weird smudge at the top.

Tahoe looks so ugly… I just don’t know why they had to ruin a perfectly fine UI. Even Ubuntu looks so much better and more consistent now.

I am kind of wondering if I can just keep humming along on Sequoia until MacOS 27.
I had that same thought.
