Apple announced sweeping changes to its products on Monday, the first day of its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
Notably, the iPhone maker confirmed rumors that it is changing how it names its software updates. Instead of using a version number, Apple will use a system with a number that represents the year after the update is released. Apple’s next update will be iOS 26, arriving in the fall for most Apple users.
The naming change applies to all Apple products. For example, the next iPad update will be named iPadOS 26, and the next MacBook update will be called macOS 26.
