Apple is set to rebrand its operating systems, moving from version numbers to a year-based naming scheme. This change will affect all of Apple's devices, including iPads and Macs, leading to iOS 26, MacOS 26, and more in 2025. While this aligns its branding with a more consistent approach and mirrors practices by companies like Samsung, it may confuse users accustomed to version numbers. This strategy aims for clarity but presents a challenge for long-term Apple users to adapt to the new system.
According to a report from Bloomberg, "the current iOS 18 will give way to iOS 26... Other updates will be known as iPadOS 26, MacOS 26, WatchOS 26, tvOS 26, and VisionOS 26."
