THERE WAS MUCH anticipation when the next version of macOS was announced at WWDC25. What would it be called? What new features would it bring? Where would it take Apple Intelligence? Thankfully, it didn’t disappoint. In a widely anticipated move, the old numbering system was abandoned. While the previous version was macOS 15, the new one is macOS 26, reflecting the year in which it is current. This is true across Apple’s hardware, so instead of iOS and iPadOS 19, visionOS 3, watchOS 12, and tvOS 19, all of this year’s operating systems are suffixed with “26”.
