Bloomberg Mark Gulman posted that the core of Apple's upcoming Global Developers Conference (WWDC25) is still focusing on software system updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Watch, and has made slight adjustments to the Vision Pro headset.
It is reported that Apple's various systems this year are named after the year. iOS 26, iPadOS 26, tvOS 26, visionOS 26, macOS 26 and watchOS 26 (corresponding to 2026), will be launched, with internal code names such as Luck, Charisma, Discovery, Cheer and Nepali; the Mac system will continue the California landmark naming tradition, and the new version is named macOS Tahoe.
Please note: The authenticity of this message still needs to be waited for Apple's final official announcement, and the iOS 19 code has been exposed again recently.
