- Apple will change how it names its next set of major operating systems, marking them by year instead of version numbers.
- The next big iOS update will be called iOS 26, aligning with the year after its release (similar to car models).
- Other upcoming name changes include iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26.
- Apple will officially announce this change at WWDC, starting June 9th, to make version numbers more consistent.
- Current naming schemes are inconsistent (e.g., iOS 18, watchOS 12, visionOS 2).
- Apple is also expected to showcase a design overhaul inspired by Vision Pro's visionOS at WWDC.
