Macworld With less than a week to go until the start of Apple’s annual WWDC get-together, an accidental leak appears to have revealed the name, or at least one of the possible names, of this year’s Mac software update. The best thing about this leak is that you can very easily check it out for yourself. (At least for now. Apple may take it down in the future.) Find a tweet using the #WWDC26 hashflag, such as the post by Andreas Storm in which he reveals this discovery, right-click the tiny Apple logo next to the hashtag text, and select Copy Image Address. Then paste it into a document, and you should see the following label: https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags/Project_Big_Bear_2026_Hashmoji_only/Project_Big_Bear_2026_Hashmoji_only.png Notice anything unusual? That’s right: it refers to something called “Project Big Bear.” Perhaps this relates to soil sampling in Ontario, Canada, or a Bristol charity. But more likely this is a glimpse of the California landmark that will be used for this year’s macOS update. Versions of macOS were once named after big cats, but in 2013, Apple, joking that it was starting to run out of suitable felines, switched to places in its home state of California. The current version, macOS 26, is named after Lake Tahoe. (We’ve got a comprehensive list of all macOS versions together with their codenames and features.) Craig Federighi traditionally spends several minutes at WWDC each year discussing the exploits of Apple’s “crack marketing team” as they travel around the state scouting out potential targets. Based on the image filename it now seems likely that macOS 27 will be named after Big Bear Lake, a lake and adjacent city in San Bernardino County. The area was named after its population of grizzly bears, but these left or died out in the early 20th century. A view of Big Bear Valley from Butler Peak.

Macworld Apple AirPods Max 2 View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); The price of Apple’s over-ear headphones haven’t much below their $549 asking price since the second generation launched in April, but today you can get a pair for just $509, a savings of $40 and the best price we’ve seen so far. The new AirPods Max feature the H2 chip, which powers better Active Noise Cancellation than the previous generation. The audio quality also gets a bump, with deeper bass. Overall, these are some of the best-sounding over-ear headphones you can buy whether you’re in the Apple ecosystem or not. But it helps to have an iPhone, of course, as the day-to-day features are where these headphones shine. Along with hands-free Siri support, you’ll get excellent features such as Adaptive Audio, for instance, which reads your environment and automatically adjusts how much outside sound bleeds through. The Conversation Awareness mode drops the volume the moment you start talking to someone, which is one of those small things that make headphones genuinely easier to live with. Perhaps the best thing, however, is the Transparency mode because it allows you to keep an ear out for potential dangers around you. The headphones have a battery life of about 20 hours with ANC and Spatial Audio running, so you won’t have to worry about charging. And if you’re traveling, Live Translation will let you communicate in a foreighn language without needing to whip out your iPhone. The one thing we hate about the AirPods Max 2 is the price. But with this discount, it’s much easier to swallow. At $509, this is the right buy for Apple users who want the best over-ear headphones in that ecosystem and have been waiting for the price to move.
