iOS 26, not iOS 19: Apple may replace version numbers with years for iOS, macOS, and all its other operating systems

Apple is set to revamp its operating system naming convention, transitioning to year-based identifiers starting with iOS 26, aligning with the automotive industry's model. This change, debuting at WWDC, aims to unify branding across platforms like iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. The update includes interface redesigns and new features such as live translation for AirPods and enhanced iPad productivity.
