Apple has seeded the first macOS Tahoe 26.6 beta to developers, starting testing on the next Mac update less than a month before macOS 27 is due to debut.
Developers can install it through System Settings under General and Software Update, with Beta Updates enabled and a free developer account required.
The release arrives 2 weeks after macOS Tahoe 26.5, and no major new features are expected as Apple shifts attention to its next-generation software.
A public beta is expected within 1 to 2 weeks, mirroring Apple's broader 26.6 beta rollout that also began for iOS and iPadOS.
