The company kept the naming scheme until 2024. <\/p>\n<section x-data=\"window.newsletter()\" x-init=\"init()\" class=\"relative p-8 my-12 mx-auto w-full max-w-3xl border md:p-12 md:my-16 border-secondary-300\" data-ga-impression=\"\" data-ga-category=\"newsletters\" data-ga-module=\"incontent_nl_signup\" data-ga-label=\"mashablelightspeed\">\n<p>\n            Mashable Light Speed\n        <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Older tech nerds will also remember that Microsoft used to identify its Windows operating systems by year in 1995, 1998, and 2000, though it later switched to version numbers (the latest version being Windows 11). <\/p>\n<p>For Apple, the change does make sense. The company&#8217;s operating systems currently don&#8217;t have a consistent naming scheme \u2014 the current version of Apple&#8217;s mobile operating system is iOS 18, in contrast to macOS 15 and visionOS 2. <\/p>\n<p>If the report is accurate, though, Apple will use the next year for its operating system, meaning that the versions that launch in 2025 will be called &#8220;26,&#8221; and so on. <\/p>\n<div class=\"flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7\">\n        <span class=\"font-bold text-primary-400\">SEE ALSO:<\/span><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/apple-ipad-self-repair-tools\" class=\"flex items-center text-secondary-300\"><br \/>\n            <span class=\"ml-1\">Apple launches a self-repair program for iPads<\/span><br \/>\n            <svg class=\"ml-1 w-4 h-4 font-normal fill-current\"><use href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/images\/icons\/spritemap.svg#sprite-arrow-right-thin\"\/><\/svg><br \/>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<p>According to Gurman, Apple will announce this change at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off on June 9. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just about the name, though.
