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

I agree with dropping names. I do like Mammoth. But would that not require it to be a huge release packed with tons of new features.

Phil Schiller says the check is in the mail.

If I have to stop using Office 2011 on those rare occasions when nothing else will work, I stop using the Mac. It's that simple.

All you have to do is NOT upgrade to the next macOS. It’s that simple. Anchor yourself in the past, stop progressing, your current Mac and macOS will probably keep working for a few more years. Buh bye.

I got to the point now, names, and what Apple actually does are too different things and can be unrelated.
 
They wanted to optimize MacOS after all the previous glitches and bugs. So they called it Mojave because Apple needed to walk the desert for a year to redeem itself. So now that they have found redemption they will leave the desert via... PALM SPRINGS!

It's almost that bad. Still using quicktime 7 a hundred times a day because Apple never put QT7's controls & export function in the new versions. I don't care if it's 32bit or not, we need the functionality. There's all kinds of software that hasn't been updated, even by Apple themselves, and plenty of proprietary software that's been made by companies over the years who no longer even exist, which we rely on to work with data. Oh well, sucks for users lol right? Time moves on, just accept losing your data, I mean what value could your data have anyway? This continual burning of their user base with every update is quite a thing for them to sweep under the rug.

Apple released free updates to iMovie, Final Cut Pro, etc. months ago which “[detect] media files that may be incompatible with future versions of macOS after Mojave and [convert] them to a compatible format.” There are numerous support documents (like this) that can help talk you through the transition, or of course, you can choose not to update to the next major release. No one’s holding a gun to your head.

Yeah that’s great, but not what I’m talking about at all. FCPX etc is fine. But it still doesn’t do what quicktime7 did. Nothing they make does.

If there ever is an 11, I think it might not be until Macs become ARM-based.

I think it would be cool if the first version of macOS to run on ARM-based processors could be installed on an iPad as a dual boot system. I am wholly against people trying to shoehorn iOS into being a desktop OS (it's not)...but it might be cool to let iPad have macOS installed on a partition, and boot into it. The same macOS that would be running on any ARM-based Mac. It would just require a Magic Mouse & Trackpad (just like an iMac does) in order to work properly.
