Apple rolls out macOS 26.5…adds 'Power Control' setting for desktop Macs

Apple has added a new Power Control option in macOS Tahoe 26.5 for managing desktop Mac power states with third-party assistive accessories.

The feature was designed for accessibility, but it may also be useful for general users in certain setups.

It could let people power on or off desktop Macs, including Mac mini, Mac Studio, and iMac, via external switches or companion devices.

The change broadens how desktop Macs can be used in different installation environments.
