You Can Finally Power on a Mac Remotely

,

With macOS 26.5, Apple has introduced the ability to power on certain newer Macs remotely by configuring them to always boot when power is applied, a feature previously unavailable despite decades of Wake on LAN support for waking from sleep. This functionality is currently supported on Mac mini (2024+), Mac Studio (2025+), and iMac (2024+), enabling better remote management in labs or portable setups, though it requires smart power control and has some caveats like needing an initial SSH login to unlock FileVault after boot. Notably, a bug prevents remote boot after shutting down from the login window without logging in first.
