According to Bloomberg, Apple may be changing the way it labels its operating systems, with future versions potentially being designated by the year of release. This would mean that instead of having separate version numbers for each system, such as VisionOS 2, watchOS 11, macOS 15, iOS 18, and iPadOS 18, they would all be categorized under a single year, e.g., “26”, regardless of the actual launch date.
This approach is not unique to Apple, as Samsung has been using a similar naming convention for its phones since 2020, with the S20 following the S10. The confirmation of this new labeling system is expected to be announced at the upcoming WWDC, which kicks off on June 9.

The new Opera browser can surf the web for you
It’s not Chrome, Safari, or Edge, but if you’re willing to be different…
Opera has introduced its latest browser, Neon, which features a fully agentic AI-powered chat and can browse the web on behalf of the user. This means it can perform tasks such as clicking, filling out forms, and even shopping.
Additionally, Neon can create websites, animations, and games, and continue working on projects while the user is offline. However, with only 2 percent of internet users currently using Opera, it remains to be seen whether this new feature will be enough to attract users away from other popular browsers like Chrome and Safari.
