Guess the name of next OS X

[tywebb13]

This is not a guess, more of a question. I'm guessing they won't do it.

But if apple want to do a yearly cycle for new systems, why not just name it after the year? Stop the OS X name altogether - and numbers 10.8 and 10.9, etc. - and stop names like mountain lion, mavericks, etc. - and just name the next one OS 2014 and then OS 2015, etc.

People are already associating years to systems. Years from now, mention mountain lion and people will say, "Oh yeah. I remember that. That was the 2012 version". Then mention mavericks and they will say "Oh yeah. I remember that. That was the 2013 version"....

So why not just name it after the year? Makes sense to me (provided they do actually keep up the yearly cycle).

Snow Mavericks or Mountain Mavericks

I wonder if the team at Apple understand using Cali specific names for their products is a bit shortsighted.

 

[Septillion]

OS X San Andreas

Great! Love this "code name". What about Liberty City.

 

[PoppaKap]

OSX Pismo

Alcatraz

I was going to suggest that. The Windows fanboys would think it appropriate as they see us locked in to the Apple ecosystem

After Jony Ive reskins the next version after iOS 7, they will call it OS X Disneyland.

lol - but even that would be an improvement over Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, and KwikKrap KitKat

Some of my guesses:

Mendocino
Pacifica
Avalon
Ventura
Coronado
Monterey
Montecito

Not bad.

 

[Unisphere]

OS X Coachella

 

[Manic Harmonic]

It's gotta be either OS X Farmersville, OS X Compton, or OS X Tenderloin.

 

[MeUnix]

OS X Redwood

 

[BlazednSleepy]

OSX Compton

Judging by the choice of Mavericks, Apple would want to use names of places in California with an attitude. Mavericks is an extreme surfing spot, so I would make an educated guess that the next one would be something along those lines, in other words: exciting.

I think the name should rather represent what the next version of OS X will bring to the table.

Rumors say an iOS 7 inspired redesign, which would be quite a departure from the OS X style of the past decade. Shouldn't the name try to encapsulate this?

Yosemite is beautiful, I hear. So that might make sense. I like Rubicon, but I'm not sure it conveys what Apple wants it to.

What will Apple call its next Mac OSX?

I came across a post regarding the future name of Mac OSX versions. Apple has changed from big cat names to famous spots in California which means that the name of the upcoming version is somewhere in California. The post named several really famous spots and among those are several surfing spots but what do you think the new Mac OSX will be called? i Personally thing Golden Gate is a winner

Mac OSX Golden Gate

Mac OSX Tahoe

Mac OSX Rincon

So, What do you think is a fitting name for Apple's next version of Mac OSX?

OS X East LA

I'd say OS X Black's Beach, but they'd have to be careful what part of the beach they take a picture of as some of the beach is is not G rated.

OS X 10.10

The naming seems to be moving into the realm of the silly, IMO.

Ummm, I'm kinda obliged to do this. Told you so? hehe

Even though this version of Mac OS X is 10.9, I don't think Apple is going to make a major, from scratch renewal of Mac OS and name it XI. (11) So I believe it's going to be called 10.10. Now that they left cat names behind and moved on to locations in California. We can start guessing and making a database of guesses for the next one. I say;

OS X Yosemite, 10.10.
