What Will macOS 10.15 Be Called: Mammoth, Monterey, Rincon, Skyline, or Something Else?

MacOS Crook Valley

I'd like them to go with just the number to match iOS, watchOS, and tvOS or even just merge the all and be OS

Sequoia

macOS We Still Care About The Mac, Promise! <fingers crossed emoji>

Since they usually alternate between regular and `refinement` releases of macOS, this will probably be named after a feature of the Mojave desert.

So my vote goes for:

macOS Edwards Air Force Base

Just drop the "10" -- that bit never changes anyway. Just call it macOS 15. Stop using names. iOS doesn't have names. tvOS doesn't have names. watchOS doesn't have names.

OSX is to last 20 yrs ... we're coming up soon on that as per Jobs, Forstall, B. Serlet, and the others from NeXT that created this excellent future thinking OS.

Let's do macOS Sea Lion.

How about Death Valley - for all those favorite old apps that will no longer work.

Sonata II

It’s a good name...for all the apps that won’t work anymore and the slow progress in evolving

Mac OS Yucca Tree!

prefer MacOS Palmdale. But I honestly like the sound of Mammoth. Lots of snow up there this year.

Who cares. I'll never use it. This is the one that arbitrarily makes all my "unoptimised" applications no longer work, right?

It’s not “arbitrary” at all. It’s a progression away from prehistoric 32bit apps with three years of warnings.
Still using a floppy drive?

La Brea

Catalina

 

[iPhisch]

I'm still holding out for OS X Haight

 

[Dustin Lenzz]

Hmm, macOS Alta Vista... with the ‘Alta’ silent...

 

[Candlelight]

I was hoping for Redwood but clearly that's now expired.

 

[simonmet]

Sequoia

Really like that. Better than Mammoth.

 

[Martinpa]

Redwood, Sonoma, Lassen and Pinnacles would have a nice ring to them...

 

[jscooper22]

City of Industry!

macOS Jobs.

No but in all seriousness, it would be cool if they named it macOS Big Sur.

It's a marketing thing, but I'm sure you knew that.

 

[Analog Kid]

MacOS Zzyzx

MacOS @Zxxv?

 

[weup togo]

I'll bet Fedreghi is behind this article. Gads get down to the real code and stop doggin around the Apple Park with theme hames for OSX.
Rincon will not be it because NONE of the top executive staff surf nor are in healthy shape.

Mavericks.

Compton. Oh please let it be named Mac OS Compton
