Just a curiosity question, but why do the Mac OS X and macOS versions have code names or nicknames, but iOS never seems to, at least not as far as the public users are concerned???
And BTW, did anyone know that these are the "secret code names" of some previous and the latest iOS versions:
… … …
8.1: OkemoTaos
8.2: OkemoZurs
8.3: Stowe
8.4: Copper
9.0: Monarch
9.1: Boulder
9.2: Castlerock
9.3: Eagle
10.0: Whitetail
10.1: Butler
10.2: Corry
10.3: Erie
11.0: Tigris
11.1: Bursa
11.2: Cinar
11.3: Emet
11.4: Fatsa
12.0: Hope
I wonder why or if there's some logical reason???
And now "Hope" — a rather interesting choice for an Apple OS I'd say, wouldn't you???

Is this a new Hope?
I suppose then iOS13 will strike back?
Then iOS14 will return
07-06-2018, 08:52 AM #6Every software project and (versions of that product) usually have a internal name to talk about it. They do that so that you can talk about 'Butler' in a fairly public setting and people won't pick that you were talking about a new version of iOS or macOS or whatever. Additionally, companies will create internal artifacts to rally the team around each release to build the team spirit and internal marketing.
So macOS has a name that is externally facing when announced and probably had (and has) an internal name that is just in code.
This is a common practice at every company I've been at.--

Thanks Ashwin, and I'm aware of such actions, but I was curious as to why the "secret code name" is often and usually used in public when talking about OS X (macOS), but virtually never in any similar case when discussing any iOS version.
Why the difference I wonder???

I was wondering the same thing. I'm sure there's someone in Cupertino responsible for making sure that info like that doesn't get into the wild. Hey Charlie, since you're divulging secret info, any truth to the rumor that Apple's prodict designs are the result of super secret alien tech gleaned from Area 51?

07-06-2018, 04:10 PM #11My guess is that OS X/macOS had the history/tradition of naming the releases, but I don't believe iOS ever had. But that's just my guess. Honestly, I seem to remember the release name of OS X/macOS (and their order) more than what number it equates to.

How is the new OS doing? Did you notice new, cool features that are something more than some gadgets that will never be used?
