Apple may be on the verge of a big change in the way the company names its software updates -- and it's an approach that may seem familiar to anyone who's familiar with Windows 95 or a '57 Chevy.

We're expecting big news at WWDC 2025 next week, including name changes that should make Apple's various operating systems fit in with each other a little better.

In a matter of days, Apple will launch iPhone software which is strikingly different to what’s available now — even down to the naming.
