macOS Tiburon to macOS Pacific: Which Name Will Apple Use This Year?

[Corefile]

Should name it after the town of Rough and Ready.

I think they'll use Pacific because it's much more familiar to everyone globally. I live in CA for more than 30 years now and this is the first time I heard about Tibo whatever the hell that is.

They need to stop adding features for a bit and instead go full snow leopard on the next release. Just my $0.02

 

[Sowelu]

macOS needs a Snow Leopard moment.

Speaking of which, bring back the big cat names!

 

[bobcat62]

MacOS Weed

MacOS Compton

They need to stop adding features for a bit and instead go full snow leopard on the next release. Just my $0.02

then how will Tim say " This is the best macOS update we've ever done" and "we think you'll enjoy it"

They're still numbered though.

macOS Sequoia is the same as macOS 15
macOS Sonoma is the same as macOS 14
macOS Ventura is the same as macOS 13
macOS Monterey is the same as macOS 12
macOS Big Sur is the same as macOS 11

They just like to ignore details like that in most everything. In the full description of sequoia the only way you can find out it's 15... is looking in the footnotes.

Was much nicer when numbers were more important than names. IMO. But I'm old. Meanwhile, back to my 2012 Air running Mohave. Hmm.. What number is that one? 🤣

One more: macOS Alcatraz

 

[Brian_v11]

MacOS Unfinished.

 

[egdiroh]

macOS cerritos. iykyk

I really don’t care about the name but they have to put some effort in MacOS and safari, it’s not getting better for years now

 

[Macbookey]

Hoping this is the year they get away from these names. Not likely. El Capitan, Mavericks, and High Sierra. Enough of a reason right there to stop with this lack of imagination, but I guess it fits perfectly with how much thought they actually put into the OS quality as well. Wonder if screen savers will be the lead feature again. Let’s see what product marketing and finance have cooked up for us this year.

Actually, quite a few of those names are car model names. 😅

Condor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyot...Stallion_(F60_-_South_Africa_only;_Panel_Van)

I say they should go in a different direction now…

macOS Kafrene
macOS Fondor
macOS Ghorman
macOS Ferrix
macOS Wobani
macOS Aldhani
macOS Niamos
macOS Chandrila
macOS Yavin

 

[AgentOSX]

Let us please stop naming things after California. The state isn't worth the Pollyanna nostalgia. Beside, if you read the book APPLE IN CHINA, you would think they could call is macOS Beijing.

 

[BigBlur]

I think we can rule out Redwood. I don't see Apple doing two tree/forest themed OSes back-to-back.

 

[Nermal]

macOS Pacific has a nice ring to it.

And I can see it from my office!

 

[SnowPenguin]

Condor & Pacific look the best for me

 

[CEmajr]

I'd prefer MacOS Sequoia (stable/bug-free edition).

 

[VisceralRealist]

Should name it after the town of Rough and Ready.

Plenty of Gold Country/Sierra names to use:

macOS Three Cent Flat
macOS Bummerville
macOS Tragedy Spring

Sonoma and sequoia have several animated “stunning wallpapers”

A.I. will probably create the wallpapers going forward.

 

[trip1ex]

MacOS Mar-a-Lago
