Every year, Take Control Books releases two ebooks early about Apple’s upcoming operating systems, and year is no different!* Joe Kissell’s Take Control of Tahoe (macOS 26) and my Take Control of iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 have just shipped! Even though those operating systems are still in beta testing, we know many readers have installed the public betas while others want to know more about what to expect.

Both books are 1.0 versions; at no cost, all buyers get the 1.1 release on the “day and date”—the day when Apple ships the production versions of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Tahoe in September. (That date isn’t yet known.) You also receive free all future updates to this title, too.

Each book is $9.99, but you can purchase the two together for $14.99—25% off! (Use that link or code YNAZHYWV at checkout.) You can also add the Take Control Premium discount ($14.99) to your order, which gives you 50% off all Take Control Books for one year, and it applies to your very first order.

This is a big year, with Liquid Glass transforming every operating system with every move you make, and the maturity of the iPad interface finally bringing Mac-like multitasking to a tablet in a way that feels right and is easy to get used to. We also cover major changes to the operating systems and every Apple app that’s been updated.

*It is a little different! I’ve taken over this title from Josh Centers, who has shifted to other genres of writing. Thanks, Josh!
