Apple's MacOS Reveal at WWDC: What the New Tahoe Name Says About What's Coming
Apple's next Mac operating system is called Lake Tahoe, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new MacOS, set to be unveiled at WWDC on June 9, will reportedly stick with Apple's convention since 2013 of naming the operating system version after scenic California nature spots such as Big Sur and Sequoia. The version number will also change, jumping from what would have been MacOS 16 to MacOS 26. Apple is changing OS versions across its platforms to line up with the year of their release, so we'll have MacOS 26, iOS 26, TVOS 26 and so on for software being introduced in 2025, but having the greatest reach in 2026. According to Gurman, the new OS will be a major overhaul to the Mac operating system and the new name could allude to a visual refresh. "The deep blue lake is ... known to show the reflection of the sky and surrounding mountains -- something that flicks at the striking visuals of the new user interface," he wrote. In addition to design changes, Apple is also expected to make major announcements related to its gaming platform and health initiatives. You can check out what to expect from WWDC 2025 and how to watch the June 9 keynote. A representative for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Apple to limit AI announcements at WWDC 25
We're officially one week away from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), where Cupertino will announce its latest operating systems. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman posted some additional details ahead of the event, which include Apple's limited AI announcement, macOS 26's moniker and a new gaming app. WWDC 25 will mark one year since Apple formally announced Apple Intelligence (AI) features, which were severely delayed. Apple is expected to dial down on the AI announcements at this year's developers conference for obvious reasons. Apple will reportedly open up its Apple Foundation Models on-device AI to third-party developers. It will support up to 3 billion parameters and allow devs to implement AI features inside their apps. Gurman detailed that Apple's AI models will support text summarization and auto-correct features. iOS 26 will be one of the key announcements at the event. It's expected to arrive with a new battery power management mode, a revamped Translate app with Siri and AirPods integration. The update will also feature a big visionOS-inspired look, which was previously dubbed one of the biggest visual overhauls in iOS history. We're also getting AI features in Safari and Photos apps. Apple's long-awaited LLM Siri and enhanced Shortcuts app are not ready for preview. Sticking to its California landmarks theme, Apple is expected to name macOS 26 - Tahoe after the famous Lake Tahoe. The update is expected to bring a new visual identity, featuring a visionOS-inspired look. Apple is also allegedly offering a new centralized gaming app that will replace Apple Game Center. According to Gurman, Apple will ship its new gaming app across iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS. The new app is billed as 'a central place to access games' and will also offer Source (paywall)

Boy Mom Melissa Joan Hart & Her Two Sons Took ‘Cold Plunging to the Next Level' in Rare Family Photo
When Melissa Joan Hart and her kids go on vacation, they do some pretty cosmic things together. While it wasn't a full family trip, it was one we're sure they won't forget: especially since they decided to do something rather daring together. On May 30, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star shared a sweet vacay photo on her Instagram with the caption reading, 'Taking cold plunging to the next level! #Laketahoe.' More from SheKnows Wayne Gretzky's Daughter Paulina Solidifies Style Icon Status With a Springtime Version of an LBD In the photo, we see Hart in a one-piece with two of her sons, all of whom are in Lake Tahoe. Fun fact: Lake Tahoe has famously cold waters, making it a go-to for cold plunge therapy. Per Mayo Clinic, cold plunge therapy is when you submerge yourself in cold water for a few minutes to help reduce inflammation, boost mood, and improve circulation. The family that cold plunges together, stays together. That's how that goes, right? For those who don't know, Hart and musician Mark Wilkerson married in 2003 after one year of dating. They later welcomed three sons named: Mason, born in Jan 2006, Braydon, born in March 2008, and Tucker, born in Sept 2012. In a previous chat with SheKnows at the Variety Power of Women in 2024, she spoke about being a mom to three boys. 'Three boys can be a little overwhelming…There are some tough moments, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world because it's the greatest job I've ever had,' she said to of SheKnows 19 Celebrity Parents With Trans & Nonbinary Kids 20 of Serena Williams' Most Adorable Motherhood Moments 30+ Baby Names With Ivy League Vibes — No Degree Required

New macOS theme hints at something big
Apple insider Mark Gurman says in the latest edition of his newsletter Power On that macOS is about to undergo a new overhaul, and possibly get the moniker 'Tahoe'. This redesign will be part of the company's major rebranding effort that it will announce at WWDC ( Worldwide Developers Conference ) this macOS has, since 2013, been named after famous places found in the state of California. The company also has a habit of naming macOS with a very popular location's name when there is a major redesign or other overhaul to look forward to. These names also sometimes give a little indication of what users can expect from their MacBook and Mac computers going year, Apple is apparently naming the new version of macOS — macOS 26 — after Lake Tahoe. A gorgeous lake surrounded by mountains, this place is home to resorts and is also a famous vacation spot for people in the U.S. And, Gurman was able to spot something really Tahoe is known for showing the reflection of the sky and the surrounding mountains on its surface. As Gurman notes, this is very likely a hint at the overall redesign that every Apple operating system is getting this year. These redesign will be inspired by the company's visionOS, which powers the Apple Vision Pro headset. The visionOS user interface. | Image credit — Apple Gurman believes that macOS 26 will be a significant change over its predecessor. If I had to guess, we're going to get a lot more productivity-focused improvements. Apple is apparently bringing certain long-awaited macOS features to iPadOS this year, so it only stands to reason that macOS itself is getting new goodies too. While WWDC 2025 will be a much more subdued affair compared to last year's event, Apple is likely going to be announcing Apple Intelligence support for its developer tools. I wouldn't be surprised if similar small-scale AI support for certain features in macOS gets expanded on with Tahoe. Apple is saving its AI advancements for next year, when it hopes to catch up to Samsung and Google in that regard. This year's software overhaul is the company's way of getting the hype going without outright admitting that it has fallen behind in the tech industry's newest craze. Then again, given how most consumers feel about AI, Apple's redesign might be the most interesting announcement we see this year.
