macOS Tahoe deep dive, F1, iPadOS 26 Files speed testing on the ÌÇÐÄVlog Podcast

By William Gallagher

Apple is pushing its "F1" movie hard, but we're discovering ever more about the company's first macOS Tahoe and iPadOS 26 betas, all on this week's episode of the ÌÇÐÄVlog Podcast.

There's more to macOS Tahoe than its Liquid Glass redesign

Apple has never pushed a film as hard as it has "F1: The Movie," and just as this episode was recorded, that promotion included a new Apple Vision Pro experience. One of your hosts immediately took it for a ride, while the other got to listen to the sound of racing cars in the distance.

But both hosts are now up close with Apple's beta releases, particularly with macOS Tahoe. You only know what an OS is really like when you use it constantly -- and it's also now that you find out so much more that Apple hasn't had time to promote.

Plus over on the iPad with iPadOS 26, the Files app has gone from non-existent, to not very useful, to now practically working as well as the Mac's Finder. The question is how effective it is -- and whether the iPad continues to be its own thing, separate from the Mac and the iPhone.
