Apple's latest macOS 26 Tahoe developer beta introduces a redesigned Macintosh HD icon. The old spinning hard drive icon, dating back to 2000, has been replaced with a more modern solid-state drive (SSD) representation. While the internal drive icon is less visible now, the update reflects Apple's shift to SSDs years ago. The change is a logical one, updating a long-standing visual element of the macOS interface.
