What Will macOS 10.16 Be Called: Mammoth, Monterey, Skyline, or Something New?

[noleli]

I predicted Avalon in April and am sticking to it.

 

[bryn0076]

macOS Avalon

 

[triptolemus]

because they’re human places, not natural ones.

wut?

 

[Spungoflex]

They should adopt a ‘legendary professional wrestler’ naming scheme.

macOS Andre The Giant.

 

[UltimaKilo]

They really messed up going beyond 10.9.

 

[Jack Neill]

IDGAF. Just fix the GD Music app. Please.

 

[Piggie]

MacOS Armageddon

 

[Mr. Awesome]

How about...

Mac OS Fontana
Mac OS Barstow
Mac OS Anaheim
Mac OS Stockton
Mac OS Hemet
Mac OS Victorville

Ooooooh, macOS Anaheim....

 

[JMO1]

Some other potential macOS name ideas:

macOS Cabrillo

macOS Napa

macOS Laguna

macOS La Brea

macOS Venice

macOS Malibu

macOS Ventura

macOS Salinas

macOS Pacifica

macOS Sonoma

macOS Vallejo

macOS Sequoia

macOS Rodeo

macOS Sausalito

probably macOS Shenzhen

I’ll vote for Skyline as my house is on it - just down a bit from Alice’s

Am I the only one still one Mojave .6 around here? What was the big motivator for moving to Catalina?

I'm still on Mojave too, I wait until the next release to update usually so I'm a year behind on machines I need to work.

I hope for Skyline every year.
It’s just got a refreshing sound to it, and refreshing is what we need after the disaster known as Catalina.As Monterey is a vacation spot, it’s also A good name.
macOS Mammoth just sounds stupid.
And as for names related to Catalina, I think that Catalina has such a terrible reputation that Apple should just move on

Is it on OS or sour chili on spaghetti?

macOS Avalon.

I’ve been saying this ^^^ for months. Catalina needs a stability pass. They’ve done this before by having versions that were named more specific variants of the previous version (Leopard->Snow Leopard, Yosemite->El Capitan, etc.). Avalon is the most prominent feature on Catalina island (the main/only city). If Catalina gets the cleanup pass it desperately needs, it’ll be named Avalon.

Or they could just entirely stop caring and we get macOS Bakersfield or macOS Death Valley.

If they want to stop caring, how about MacOS Chico? Or Gilroy? Point Mugu?

 

[jackietreeh0rn]

MacOS Apocalypse

 

[V.K.]

I wish they'd just stop with all these names and just call it Mac OS +year. So this year it'd be Mac OS 20.
Easier on everybody and more convenient too.

 

[macduke]

macOS ARMstrong.

 

[ikramerica]

MacOS Natalie Wood...

 

[Kabeyun]

With macOS 10.16 again seeming to be more of a refinement release, could we see something like macOS Channel Islands (the island group that Catalina is a part of) or macOS Avalon (the only city on Catalina)?

macOS High Catalina.

Unoriginal joke, I know.

macOS Snow Catalina

🥶

i am betting on macOS Avalon, Avalon is on the island of Catalina.

Something like that, I hope. Catalina needs some under the hood work, it seems. Glad I stayed with Mojave.

 

[Fowl]

Anacapa is another, smaller Channel Island with a pretty name.

Or they could pick something from the north (which they haven't done before), like Shasta.

Personally, I vote for Blythe.

 

[An-apple-a-day]

Yeah, because after a year with Catalina, Weed is what we need

MacOS Kush

 

[mr_jomo]

Macos MVE (Minimal Viable Effort)

 

[Glideslope]

Mac OS 10.16 Jeopardy.

“Will it Blend for $1,000.”

 

[Mavrick33332]

macOS Glacier

There won't be anything after Catalina.. Catalina is the LAST MacOS as Apple will follow the same path as Microsoft - Just adding updates to it, like Windows 10. Nothing to see here.

macOS Who Cares

Mac OS 9 Returns ?

 

[iAssimilated]

macOS End Of Line

macOS End Of Line

Really, I just want to see it die.. MacOS, MAC OS, Mac OS X, OS X - I have a feeling it won't be the same once ARM comes out which is a victory over Intel. Just waiting to upgrade my 2015 Macbook Pro to an ARM macbook pro.
