Apple's September 15th, 2025 release of iOS 26 marked a significant shift in their operating system naming conventions.
Instead of a sequential numbering system, Apple has adopted a year-based approach, aligning with their other platforms.
This change simplifies version identification and makes it easier to understand which software version corresponds to a specific year.
Compatibly, iOS 26 supports a wide range of Apple devices, from iPhones and iPads to MacBooks and Apple Watches released in recent years.
