The Old Mac Gang meets up for the final episode of the year to talk about their tech resolutions for 2026 and what’s on their wishlist for the coming year. 

Three Types of Tech Resolutions

1. Simplification

• Reducing redundant devices or apps
• Cleaning up workflows
• Letting go of tech that no longer fits how you work or live

2. Capability Expansion

• Learning features you already own but don’t use
• Improving productivity, creativity, or accessibility
• Using Apple ecosystem features more effectively

3. Future-Focused Planning

• Preparing for hardware upgrades
• Watching Apple roadmap trends (chips, OS changes, services)
• Budgeting intentionally rather than impulse buying

Building a Personal Tech Roadmap for 2026

Questions to ask yourself:

• What do I actually use daily?
• What frustrates me repeatedly?
• What tasks should feel easier than they do?
• What am I curious to learn next year?

A roadmap doesn’t mean buying everything—it means deciding what matters.

Tech Wishlists vs. Tech Needs

A wishlist can include:

• Hardware you don’t need now
• Features Apple hasn’t shipped yet
• Improvements to software you already love
