Apple has officially announced its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC25) scheduled from June 9 to June 13, 2025. This year’s event promises major software updates and fresh insights into the company’s technology roadmap.
Year-Based Operating System Naming
- MSI Expands ‘Make in India’ Initiative with RTX 50 Series-Powered Katana and Crosshair Laptops
- Vivo Y31 Pro 5G Spotted on Bluetooth SIG Certification, Global Launch Soon
- OPPO’s Futuristic Super Headquarters Under Construction in China
- HyperOS 3 Leak: Xiaomi Prepares System-Wide AI and Camera Enhancements
- TECNO Spark Slim 4G & 5G Global Launch Confirmed with Curved AMOLED Display and 5,060mAh Battery
Ahead of WWDC25, reports from Bloomberg reveal Apple’s plan to rename its operating systems to reflect the release year instead of traditional version numbers. For example:
- iOS 19 will become iOS 26
- iPadOS 19 will be iPadOS 26
- macOS 16 will shift to macOS 26
- Similarly, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS will adopt the “26” suffix
This change aligns Apple’s OS naming convention with the calendar year, similar to how automotive manufacturers label their new models. It signals a streamlined approach to OS identification moving forward.
What to Expect at WWDC25
Besides unveiling the new operating system lineup, Apple is expected to showcase its latest advancements in artificial intelligence. The event will highlight how AI integrates across Apple’s ecosystem, driving innovation and enhanced user experiences.
The WWDC25 Keynote is set for June 9, 2025, at 10 AM PT, followed by the Platforms State of the Union at 1 PM PT the same day. Apple promises a week filled with technology breakthroughs and developer-centric sessions.
