American devices maker Apple has informed to change the way the names of their operating systems in the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The company’s operating systems will be given the title based on the year instead of numbering. It will be started with iOS 26, iPados 26 and Macos 26.

The company said that the new system will synchronize version numbers for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro software. Earlier, Apple used various numbering schemes for its operating systems. For example, Watchos 11 and Visionos 2 were present with iOS 18. This caused the illusion that new software is used in which devices.

Apple’s iOS 26 will be given a new interface called ‘Liquid Glass’. It will include visual elements with similar designed glass surface. In this operating system, transparency and shine effects can be brought to all tools, in-app interfaces and various controls in iPhones. Unlike Apple’s current iPhone’s flat design, the new UI will get a different look. The new liquid glass UI has also indicated to proceed in Apple’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) features. In last year’s WWDC, the company showed the preview of the Apple Intelligence features.

The OS of the company is also being changed due to the forecast of several changes in the iPhone series to be launched next year. The iPhone plans to introduce some Apple products on the 20th anniversary. These may include the first foldable iPhone. Earlier, Gurman had told that Apple’s foldable iPhone will be introduced on the occasion of the completion of two decades of the iPhone. The foldable iPhone may be available for sale in 2027. It may have an almost not looking display crease unlike other foldable smartphones. Along with this, curved iPhone can also be introduced. It can have a screen without a cutout. This smartphone can get the face ID sensor for under-display front camera and biometric authentication. The company’s first smart glasses can also be launched.
