### macOS 26.4 Release Candidate: What to Anticipate
Following the recent launch of beta 4, Apple has now rolled out the macOS 26.4 Release Candidate. This update introduces a variety of new features and enhancements that users can anticipate.
#### Here’s Everything Fresh So Far
One of the most important modifications in macOS 26.4 is the introduction of a notification system for applications that depend on the Rosetta 2 framework to function on Apple Silicon. Users will be alerted that Rosetta 2 will soon be phased out, prompting developers to get ready for this change. Apple has previously announced that macOS 27 will be the final major version to support Rosetta 2.
Moreover, macOS 26.4 resolves the longstanding issue with the window resize pointer, ensuring that the cursor accurately depicts the window’s corner shape. The update also reinstates Safari’s compact tab view, which was eliminated in the previous version.
Another significant addition is the new Charge Limit option, enabling users to establish a limit on their Mac’s battery charge between 80% and 100%. This feature, which has seen popularity in third-party applications, is now available natively.
For creators, macOS 26.4 unveils exclusive features for Creator Studio subscribers within the Freeform app. These features include access to premium images in the Content Hub, the capability to upscale low-resolution images, and compatibility with OpenAI’s image-generating model.
Finally, the update incorporates new emoji choices, such as ballet dancers, distorted faces, and fight clouds.
