It will be interesting to see if Apple does indeed follow in the footsteps of Microsoft in the OS naming. When Windows 98 and Windows 98 came out, I think folks were generally happy to get away from ‘version numbers’ per se. Apple did, too, with all the California themed versions of MacOS. I personally have no idea what actual version numbers any of those releases have been.

So, if we get OS 2026 across all platforms as a unifying action I think it makes sense. I just hope Apple doesn’t do what Microsoft did with Windows 7 and Windows 7 and decide in a several years that another moniker needs to be adopted to ‘shake things up’ and draw more interest.

The previous posts relating this potential move to the Vision Pro are apt.  One can only conclude that Apple feels its Vision Pro strategy is working. As I don’t have all the data that Apple has, maybe it’s true. But as an outside observer, it sure doesn’t seem like it.

I can’t imagine any retailer in today’s market interested in carrying Apple’s year old albatross. When they knock $3000 off the sticker price, then sure. But not as is.
