Apple releases macOS 26.4 public beta 3, here’s what to expect

Following today’s announcement of the new MacBook Neo, and yesterday’s release of the developer version of macOS 26.4 beta 3, the public beta is rolling out now. Here’s what’s coming.

What to expect from macOS 26.4

If you’ve been bothered by the bug where the window resize pointer doesn’t follow the window’s corner shape, good news: Apple says it has fixed the issue in this round of betas (unlike macOS 26.3, where the company initially marked it as fixed before later reclassifying it as a known issue after the public release.)

With macOS 26.4, Apple is adding native support for a popular battery management feature from third-party apps, allowing users to cap maximum charge levels between 80% and 100%.

In addition, macOS 26.4 brings back the compact tab bar to Safari, and now warns users that Rosetta apps will stop working in the future, as Apple continues its plan to end support for the Apple Silicon–Intel translation layer with macOS 27.

The release build for today’s macOS 26.4 public beta 3 is 25E5223i, which is the same as the latest developer build.
