[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1951868, member: 131855"] I think that is exactly what will happen happen because those revision numbers often convey important information when someone is seeking tech support. IMHO the future of OS revision numbers will look like going forward: 1. All OS versions (Mac, TV, Watch, etc) go to version 26.0 when they're released. 2. The custom of point numbers (.1, .2, etc) for minor updates will continue. That process simplifies things considerably--especially for casual users. Under the current system we have macOS 15.5, IOS and iPad OS 18.5, WatchOS `10.6.1, and whatever the current TVOS happens to be. My understanding of the new system is that the next OS will start at OS 26 on all devices and go forward from there. I think it's also likely that there will be some method to keep the minor (point) updates in sync. So, for example, when MacOS goes to 26.1 the entire Apple ecosystem will have an OS version number of 26.1. [/QUOTE]
