Apple is perhaps about to make an important change to what it calls its operating systems

- A new report from Bloomberg says that Apple will change how it works
- The change will be to match the year, so not iOS 19 but iOS 26
- It is said that the change will be for iPados, macOS, Watchos, TVOS and Visionos
With only 12 days to Apple’s WWDC 2025 Starts on June 9, 2025, with an opening keynote, rumors and reports, about what the tech giant could announce. Given that it is the Global developer conferenceWe expect CEO Tim Cook And a whole series of managers to lead us through the next generation platforms.
We had expected a new report in full iOS 19 And iPados 19The next generation of macOS with a unique place in California, which gives it a name and new versions of Watchos, TVos and Visionos, all up with one song.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurmanalthough, Apple It can throw a curveball and dump the concept of naming the software by the next generation number. The report states that instead of iOS 19, the successor of iOS 18, will introduce Apple iOS 26.
‘The next apple operating systems will be identified per year, instead of a version number, ”is the report. In addition to iOS jumps to 26, it seems that Apple iPados 26, MacOS 26, Watchos 26, TVOS 26 and perhaps the most shocking, Visionos 26 could be rolled out. The latter would be the most important jump, because we currently only have a Vision 2, and the Vision Pro Overall, there is no aging device.
It seems that the change of Apple, at least as described in this report, is aimed at cleaning up any confusion and determining uniformity in its branding. It is said that the new naming convention arrives together with a far-reaching design-innovative called “Solarium” that is expected to influence all the platforms of Apple-ios, iPados, macOS, Watchos, Visionos and TVOs.
I am personally enthusiastic about the more transparent design innovation for the software of the iPhone and the rest of the platforms; It will breathe new life and let the whole experience feel a little cleaner, at least I think so. However, this new naming convention is a bit more confusing for me – Apple seems to follow an approach that looks like car manufacturers, which calls his software for the coming year.
That feels a bit confusing on paper, but I am curious how Apple explains this on stage. It can also indicate that the now delayed AI-driven Siri-the milestone function of Apple Intelligence-Missen only in 2026 that is really someone for an arrival.
Apple would not be the first company that is a leap in view of the name of its name conventions. Samsung jump from the Galaxy S10 family to the Galaxy S20And Microsoft tried this for a few years and then returned to generation numbers.
However, the new naming strategy for iOS, iPados, MacOS, TVOS, Watchos and Visionos is not the only news or changes. We expect that redesign over platforms, plus the potential for one special gaming -app For the iPhone, iPad and Mac, a redesigned translation app and some improvements to the Apple Intelligence Function set.
Of course this must all be taken with a grain of salt for the time being, but we will report live from Cupertino in 9 June 2025, to break up everything that Apple announces on WWDC 2025 – so stay with Techradar.
