Apple just released the 2nd update for macOS Tahoe to the public! Let’s jump in and find out what’s new.

In a surprise, we just got a late afternoon drop! Normally Apple will release the public releases on Monday at 12:00 CDT. But sometimes, like today, we get it mid afternoon drop.

NOTE: The build version changed from 26.1 RC (25B77) to (25B78). So if you were on the beta track, make sure you turn it off and then update to the latest public build.
