It is WWDC week, which means a lot of software and service messages from Apple.
Under the main note on Monday, Apple revealed new features to Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Macs and more, including one New “liquid glass” Ui that uses excessive openness. This will undoubtedly prove to be divisive for Apple fans and those who look in, but the company also revealed a new numbering scheme for the OS products.
iOS, iPados, macos, watchos and tvos will not contain the suffix 19 this year. Instead, Apple will now spend the year after its differentiates. This means that iOS 26 is the latest version, with iOS 27 and miscellaneous coming in 2026, and so on.
There is a lot to say about this change and its liquid glass aesthetics. I bet you are itching to get your perspective heard.
So here are the questions:
- Does Apple’s name form change makes it easier to identify OS versions, or is it just a marketing exercise?
- What are your thoughts of liquid glass: a Windows Vista dupe or a real revelation?
- Does the software mean anything if Apple is a chipset retaining the old namesake?
- Should Google adopt a similar naming scheme for Android?
- How would you name iOS and Android versions? Code name, year or something completely different?
