At this point are we waiting for macOS Fresno? No one goes to Fresno anymore.
Going from Toyota Sequoia to Chevy Tahoe sounds like a downgrade to me 😉
They could change their names to ousted Apple CEOs!

Unfotunate! Telluride is the ore yields copper. The town in Colorado used to mine it there. And if you've never smelled telluride, you've missed blowing your lunch!
The alleged name of macOS 26 (yes) has leaked.
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that macOS 26 will be named macOS Tahoe, after California's scenic Lake Tahoe.
Apple previously named its Mac operating systems after big cats like Cheetah, Tiger, Leopard, and Lion. Starting with OS X Mavericks in 2013, however, Apple switched to California-themed names like Yosemite, Monterey, Sonoma, and Sequoia.
Lake Tahoe is known for its reflective waters, which mirror the surrounding landscape, including mountains and the sky. Gurman said that would align with macOS 26's rumored glass-like design with more translucent windows, buttons, and icons.
Apple is expected to unveil macOS 26 alongside iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26 during its WWDC 2025 keynote, which is set to begin on Monday, June 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. The conference is just eight days away.

Once saw Extreme Midget Wrestling at Lake Tahoe. Quite the eye opener.
The show was OK, but it was too short.
I do miss the big cat themed macOS names but understand they were running out of cat species to use and that we'd be on something like "macOS Pallas's Cat" by now if Apple had to keep reaching. The fact that Apple went all in on acknowledging their codenames with 10.2 Jaguar and made the X logo out of furry jaguar print was one of my favorite Apple marketing moves ever.
Yes!!
Seems like a blunder by Apple to associate their OS with a poorly designed product from a has been automotive company.
With annual releases that don’t seem all that different from one another, I don’t feel like these warrant names as such. I couldn’t even remember the current OS name.
"macOS 26's rumored glass-like design with more translucent windows, buttons, and icons."
That was one of Windows Vista's highlights when it came out in 2007. Apple likes to play catch-up these days.

To be fair Vista's Aero UI design was Microsoft's attempt to one-up Apple and the eye candy-heavy Aqua UI from early Mac OS X. If anything the eye candy and translucencies is just a return to form for Apple.
