Apple will reportedly change the way it names its operating systems, per a Bloomberg report.
Operating systems will now be named by year, meaning the update after the current iOS 18 will be iOS 26 rather than, say, iOS 19. The change paves the way for a less confusing, more consistent branding among Apple products. Other name changes will include iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26, Bloomberg says. The changes will be announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) on June 9th.
Already, it’s clear that this year’s WWDC will see some big announcements. Apple will reportedly introduce new user interfaces to accompany its operating system rebrand. Apple is also expected to announce updated features for AirPods, Siri, its Vision Pro headset, and numerous new AI features.
