macOS Tahoe Beta Drops FireWire Support


A bit of sad news for old iPods: Macs might be losing FireWire support. The first macOS Tahoe developer beta does not support the legacy FireWire...

As a result, the first few iPod models and old external storage drives that rely on FireWire cannot be synced with or mounted on a Mac running the macOS Tahoe beta. iPods started to transition from FireWire to USB for data transfer in 2003, so the standard is very outdated, but it would still be the end of an era if macOS Tahoe drops it. Apple's Terminal app is getting a visual refresh in macOS Tahoe, and it's the first notable design update since the command-line tool debuted.
