According to Bloomberg, Apple will release iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26 this fall.
The design of Apple’s next iPhone software update isn’t the only big change in store. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iOS 26 will be the next version of iOS as Apple begins identifying software updates by the upcoming year (like a new car’s model year). Apple’s other OS updates will apparently follow the same naming convention.
Gurman explains that the intent is “to bring consistency to its branding and move away from an approach that can be confusing to customers and developers.
