Apple macOS 26 system requirements: will it run on your Mac?
Apple just revealed the next major Mac software update – macOS 26. Don't worry, there's still a California-based moniker alongside the number: Tahoe. As you'd expect, macOS 26 will work best with the latest Macs. It's available for beta users right now, but a public release won't come until September, if Apple follows its usual schedule. A whole bunch of older Mac desktops and MacBooks will also get the free software update – stretching back a good few years. Note that Apple's software versions are now named after the year ahead – ie: iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, etc – to bring naming consistency. So if you're looking for the requirements to run what you thought was called macOS 16, you're in the right place! But will your current Mac device get the new update? Here's our guide to the rumoured macOS 26 system requirements. Will my Mac device get macOS 26? Unfortunately, the time has come for Apple to ditch new software support for any remaining Intel Macs with macOS 26. Given Apple starting switching to its own silicon chips in 2020, this would cut some older Macs off earlier than usual. But, I'm surprised this is the case given the huge performance differences between the devices. macOS Sequoia doesn't support Macs released before 2018, with the exception of 2017's iMac Pro. That includes some pretty powerful Macs that were previously supported by macOS Monterey, such as 2013's cylindrical Mac Pro (the 'trashcan' one) which although hideously expensive at launch is now a decade old, of course. It also excludes the more affordable, but controversial, MacBook from 2017. The new glassy redesign of iOS 26 comes to Macs, mirroring the latest iPhone software. And while an updated look might sound minor, I think its exactly what macOS needed – making things easier to use than ever. Alongside the redesign sits plenty of new features that'll help you be more productive, including updates to the Notes app. Here's a full list of the devices expected to be compatible with macOS 26: MacBook Air (2020 or later) MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020 or later) MacBook Pro 14-inch, 16-inch (2021 or later) Mac mini (2020 or later) iMac (2021 or later) Mac Studio (2022 or later) Mac Pro (2023 or later) As I mentioned, the software is now in beta testing before it almost certainly rolls out to everyone in September.

Trump warns Apple it could face 25% tariff if it doesn't shift iPhone manufacturing to US
President Donald Trump warned Apple that the company could face a 25% tariff if it does not shift iPhone manufacturing to the United States. In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump wrote: 'I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else. If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the US Thank you for your attention to this matter!' The announcement sent ripples through financial markets.

Donald Trump lashes out at Tim Cook with brutal three-word threat to Apple
U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at Apple CEO Tim Cook early Friday morning, telling the tech giant that 25% "must be paid" on their goods if they do not make their products within the U.S. borders . Trump made the threat on his Truth Social media platform. "I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else," Trump wrote in the short message. "If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump's threat came after he asked Cook to stop making the popular phones in India and pivot to U.S. production instead. It was reported last week, while the president was in Qatar, that Trump "had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday."

(Image: Getty Images) "I said to him, ' You're my friend, I've treated you very good . .. but now I hear you're building all over India. I don't want you building in India,'" Trump told the gaggle of reporters. It was revealed that prior to Trump's sweeping tariffs, Apple had allegedly invested $500 billion in the United States in February. It was also reported that, in order to counter its reliance on Chinese production, Apple had accelerated the production of iPhones in India to make 25% of its global production in the country over the next few years. Currently, 90% of the iPhones are assembled in China.

"I said to Tim, I said, 'Tim look, we treated you really good, we put up with all the plants that you build in China for years, now you got build us," the president said. "We're not interested in you building in India, India can take care of themselves ... we want you to build here," he said. In a cryptic statement, Trump said that Apple would be "upping" production in the US.

Apple produces very few products in the U.S., namely the Mac Pro. It was reported in February that it would launch a manufacturing facility in Texas to produce servers for its AI system, Apple Intelligence.

(Image: Getty Images) In April, while imposing tariffs on American trading partners, Trump imposed a 26% tariff on Indian goods, which was lowered temporarily until July as part of his 90-day tariff pause. The U.S. has claimed that India is "one of the highest tariff nations in the world." Trump claimed that New Delhi reached out to Washington to strike a new trade deal where "they are willing to literally charge us no tariff." The Indian government approved Apple's main assembly partner in India, Foxconn, to build a semiconductor plant in the country with HCL Group. Reports indicate that the Indian government approved Apple's main assembly partner in India, Foxconn, to build a semiconductor plant in the country with HCL Group. This is part of Apple's push to diversify its production and expand beyond China to nations like Vietnam and India.
