As long as it’s an option that’s okay. We quite like the look of the original somewhat so as long as we can have that version and make adjustments as necessary then it’s okay.
I joke. Apple has gotten a lot better about giving options in recent years.

If everything got updated like this, then that’s an awesome change. What made Aero so nice was that it didn’t interfere with legibility, while Glass threw legibility out the window. Striving for a proper foreground to background contrast ratio should be the bare minimim for a company like Apple, and this improves that significantly.

They should have just called it appleOS 26 since they are bumping all of it to 26 and unifying the look and feel between all of their OSs.

And the explanation for 26 is that it’s the version for 2026.
Seems like a good choice when settling on a common number for all the operating systems.
Similar to MY26 in cars etc.
Say you released version 2023, 2024, and 2025, all of which are in support at the same time. It’s 2025, but your latest release might be 2023.2, which looks like it’s out of date to a user.

Apple bumps the version number for everything every year nowadays, so not a problem for them.
threaded - newest

Options? Apple? Seems unlikely…
I don’t get the downvotes, Apple is religious about avoiding configuration where not absolutely required.

Date-based versioning sounds great in theory, but if you have more than one version in support at once then it can get ugly quickly
What do you mean?

What do they do about devices that are still getting minor updates or fixes but not new major versions?
At the mo, it would be something like macOS 15.5.1, iOS 18.2.2, etc
It will just move to year. major point update. minor point update so for example: 26.5.2
Ah, I get you.
