Apple Inc. is set to implement a significant change in how it names its operating systems, switching from version numbers to a year-based system. This means operating systems such as iOS and macOS will be labeled as iOS 26 and macOS 26, reflecting their launch year. This decision aims to improve branding consistency and reduce confusion among users and developers, following examples from companies like Samsung and Microsoft. The new naming convention will be introduced at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9, alongside a refreshed user interface dubbed Solarium.
