Abstract

The article discusses Apple's upcoming changes to its operating system naming conventions, shifting from version numbers to a year-based system. The new operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS, will be identified by the year they are set to launch, starting with "iOS 26" for the 2026 release. This change aims to create consistency in branding and enhance user experience across devices, accompanied by a new user interface called Solarium. Additional features expected include a more Mac-like iPad experience, AI integrations, and new functionalities for AirPods and the Vision Pro headset. [Extracted from the article]
