| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Netify Mac Daily for Friday, July 25th, 2025. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.2 | We are sponsored this week by Bitwarden. |
| 0:11.9 | Leading off today, Apple has released the public betas for all of its 26-year updates. |
| 0:17.6 | So that includes iOS 26, iPadOS 26, MacOS Tahoe 26, TVOS 26, watchOS 26, and HomePod |
| 0:26.7 | 26. There is no VisionOS 26 public beta. As a refresher, all of these updates are dramatic changes |
| 0:34.3 | to their respective platforms, headlined by the new Liquid Glass Design Language. |
