Anticipated Changes to MacOS: Reasons for Potential Transformation
Gear Up for Apple's WWDC 2025 Bonanza!
In less than a week, the tech world eagerly awaits Apple's WWDC 2025, brimming with exciting software announcements. Let's delve into the juicy details of what could be unveiled!
Rumor has it that Apple might change the naming conventions for its operating systems on devices. Instead of following iterative numbering, they could opt for a year-based system like iOS 26. If this is true, you're looking at a renamed macOS, possibly dubbed macOS 26. An intriguing report suggests that the subsequent macOS theme will deviate from the norm, with the next version named Tahoe, after the famous lake that straddles both California and Nevada. This marks a refreshing departure for Apple.
The Tahoe macOS is rumored to undergo a significant redesign, last seen in 2020 with macOS Big Sur. Apple typically performs major OS overhauls every few years, and this one promises to be no exception. Stay tuned for updates!
But what else does WWDC 2025 have in store? Well, the software event is all about shouting out new developments for iOS, watchOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Keep your eyes peeled for iPadOS enhancements as Apple strives to make its tablet act more like a MacBook, both in appearance and functionality.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have its presence felt across various operating systems. Although it might not steal the show like Google at I/O or Microsoft's Build event, expect minor improvements in Apple Intelligence, with an overhauled Siri acting more like an AI agent.
Now buckle up, because things are about to get interesting! Rumor has it that video games might make a debut at WWDC this year. Given Apple's recent acquisition of a game developer studio, it's anticipated that a new gaming app might be unveiled.
