Wallpapers created for the all-new MacBook Neo have now been made available to all macOS Tahoe users, as of macOS 26.4 beta 4.
On March 4, Apple announced the MacBook Neo, a colorful budget-oriented laptop, powered by an iPhone chip. The low-end Mac is available in four bright color options — Blush, Citrus, Indigo, and Silver, each with a matching wallpaper.
The MacBook Neo ships with a special build of macOS 26.3, AppleInsider as predicted. All other Macs will need macOS 26.4 beta 4 to get the wallpapers made for the machine.
The wallpapers themselves are available in Mac Purple, Mac Blue, Mac Pink, and Mac Yellow. All of them feature a colorful bubble-type design, with a stylized version of the word "Mac." Nearly all current Mac marketing wallpapers contain a word as part of the design.
As with promotional wallpapers made for the iMac, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro, the ones for the MacBook Neo are available in the macOS System Settings application.
Users can set any of these new wallpapers as their desktop background by navigating to System Settings > Wallpaper, and scrolling through the Pictures section.
Additionally, macOS Tahoe 26.4 beta 4 delivers eight new emoji characters, including a distorted face, an orca, and Bigfoot. The software update is still in beta testing and is expected to be released sometime in the spring of 2026.
Internal distributions of macOS 26.4 support the as-of-yet unreleased M5 and M5 Pro variants of the Mac mini, as well as two new Mac Studio configurations.
