Safari's Compact Tab Bar Is Back on Mac and iPad
When macOS Tahoe and iPadOS 26 launched last September, Apple quietly removed Safari's Compact tab layout – the option that merged the address bar and the tab bar into a single, space-saving row. If you were a fan of it, you will have been out of luck for months. The good news is that Apple has brought it back. In macOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4, the Compact tab bar is once again available as an alternative to the default Separate layout. Here's how to enable it on both platforms.

When is the Next Apple Event?
Despite releasing more than 10 new products so far this year, Apple has yet to hold a traditional event with a live-streamed video in 2026.

New Yoshi-Themed Merch Now Available for Preorder at My Nintendo Store UK
Hot off the heels of his introduction in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Yoshi-themed merchandise has just landed at Nintendo as part of its UK and Ireland pop-up store selection online.Releasing on September 10, 2026, preorders are now live and available via My Nintendo Store UK. The new additions include Yoshi Egg Soft Toys, Yoshi decorative cloth, and Yoshi tea cup and pot set. The Yoshi soft toys are 30 x 25 cm in size, and come in four different colour variants: green, yellow, blue, and pink. Nintendo's online pop-up store selection is already pretty stacked with great merch, and this is another wonderful addition for fans to consider.It comes at a great time as well, with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie already breaking box office records following its explosive launch into theaters, despite middling reviews.Nintendo's blockbuster sequel earned $34 million in the U.S. on Wednesday, Deadline reported, making for the best opening day of any film released in 2026 so far.IGN's own appraisal was also mixed. "It’s OK, it really is," we wrote in our The Super Mario Galaxy Movie review, rating the film with a 6/10 score. "While it loses points for not engaging in a strong emotional core like its predecessor, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie racks up some extra lives by stuffing Easter eggs into the runtime to the point of bursting. It’s fun seeing all that stuff on screen, but without some kind of relatable story thriving underneath those references, it’s not as effective as it could be."Robert Anderson is IGN's Senior Commerce Editor and resident deals expert on games, collectibles, trading card games, and more.
