For what it's worth, i've never had a single banking app not work across any beta.
Typically a lot of features require others to also be on the same OS, so that is not surprising.
Knowing Apple devices and their battery life on new betas im sure his device will last max of 3 hrs.
Yes, mine are working just fine.
Beta testers, please check and let us know if there's a setting (increased contrast?) to disable or at least reduce all those awful new glass effects.
Can't check yet.
But either way, you might as well not upgrade, especially on iPhone, since it basically just brings new visual effects and very little more.
There’s one thing I’d love to know and that is can you finally hide the dock? It’s going to take up a lot of space in windowing mode. Thanks!
Developer beta early adopters, please can you see if there’s an Accessibility setting to make the UI/buttons etc less glassy and more opaque?
Going to give this a ride on my M4 mini (not used for critical work), will update you in an hour on how it's running

If your talking about IpadOs i dont seem to see the white bar your speaking of as of yet but it may reappear in the future. But for now its gone.
looking at the keynote now. i missed the live one.
just saw craig go all the versions are 26
so is 16 just not a thing as far as macos is concerned?
yes - and no - when u look at the sucatalogs there isn't one for 26 - but there is one for the 16 and that's where they put the 26 updates - confusing hey?
so these exist:
replace the 16 with 26 u get nothing
