There may not be iOS 19 or MacOS 16, according to Reporting From Bloomberg Mark Gork. At the World Developers Conference next month, Apple is said to be planning to shift towards issuance numbers based on years instead of the current numbering system. This aims to unify the maze of the current company for issuance numbers; Instead of iOS 19, iPados 19, MacOS 16, TVOS 19, Watchos 11 and VisionOS 3, we will get iOS, iPados, MacOS, Tvos, Watchos and Visionos 26.
The last time Apple changed the numbering conference of its issuance for any of the operating systems in 2020, when it turned from “MacOS X” to MacOS 11. Note that the numbering will not depend on the year of issuance of the program but to the year after; This is a specific logical matter because IOS 26 will be the most circulating version of the Apple from iOS for about nine months of 2026 and only three months of 2025.
The update will be accompanied by the issue numbering system that Gurman describes as “new user interfaces through operating systems”, a visual reform that will bring iPhone than Apple, Mac, Watch and TV more in line with some design agreements that were presented in the IPAD program for Apple in 2024. Among the changes and additions to “Mac-Like”.
Although the major commercial operating systems may abandon generally based brands from the days when Windows 98 and Windows 2000 prevailing, many software products are still using a year instead of the version number to facilitate determining the date of its issuance. Many Linux distributions use the month version numbers and general version numbers, as well as independent microsoft office versions. Windows Server has turned into the use of years instead of the version numbers 25 years ago Hanging with them since then.
Apples also It uses years instead of version numbers To select most Mac devices. But this uses the year of the actual version of the devices instead of next year, perhaps because Apple is not updated all of them in the same annual rhythm.
