Mac users can download the new software by opening up the System Settings app and navigating to the Software Update section.

‌macOS Tahoe‌ 26.5 adds a Suggested Places section to the search interface in the Apple Maps app. It also lays the groundwork for ads in the Maps app, which are coming this summer.

The App Store is also getting a monthly subscription option that will let users pay a lower price on a monthly basis, but agree to pay for a subscription for a 12-month period.

The update also likely includes several bug fixes and other under-the-hood performance updates, but no new features were found during the beta testing period.

Ads in Maps and no security fixes?

I think I'll skip this one.

I wonder if they really will (now that it's far too late for many) finally keep their promise to keep previous releases up to date.

It would be one of the most pleasant surprises from Apple in years.

Sad that their word means absolutely nothing anymore. Maybe this will finally be the year of them actually keeping their word about their software.

Meanwhile, they managed to elegantly patch the "old" version of Pages to bug me about the "new" version right when I hit a tool I need in the middle of a document. They waited just the right amount of time for maximum irritation. This seems to be where all their engineering effort is now.
