While we know that the next iOS as well as all other operating systems (OS) of Apple devices should undergo a major change in design for a homogenization of the manufacturer's ecosystem, Bloomberg tells us that this standardization should also concern the numbering of its OS.
Homogenization of the naming of Apple OS according to their vintage?££££
Indeed, we have already mentioned the successor to iOS18 iPhone under the -logical- name of iOS19, but Apple would have decided to now number all its systems according to the year. Knowing that they will be deployed at the start of the school year and used mainly in 2026, they would therefore all bear the numbering "26".
So, instead of the expected iOS19, iPadOS19, macOS16, tvOS19, watchOS12, and visionOS3, we would have iOS26, iPadOS26, macOS26, tvOS26, watchOS26, and visionOS26. This "revolutionary" change should be made official on June 9th at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2025.
