Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple’s annual developer and software-oriented event is less than three weeks. We have not heard much about the MacoS 16 before its announcement this year, so we can be for some big surprise when it rolls on 9 June. We still know about Apple’s next major update of Mac operating system.
Macos 16 Name?
Every year in WWDC, a question on many MAC fans’s brains is what will be chosen as the name for the next version of Apple Macos. The tradition comes back to all ways at the beginning of the Mac OS X with its big cat names, and then in 2013 Apple moved to the Calfornia-themed names with the unveiling of OS X Mavecks.
In the early days after the onset of OS X Mavecks, we discovered a total of more than 20 California-Theme trademark applications filed by various limited liabilities companies, which were all, but were certain for the shell companies created by Apple to hide their identity.
Over time, some trademarks such as Yosemite, Sierra, Mojwe, and Montere were actually used by Apple for their major Mac operating system updates, while trademark applications for many other names have been abandoned.
Apple has previously used names from abandoned trademark filing – such as for the release of Big Sur – McOS in 2020. Therefore, Macos 16 can still adopt a name that Apple sought to save years ago.
The list below includes the remaining Macos name possibilities that Apple filed for safety:
- California
- Condor
- Diablo
- Farlan
- Khaki
- Huge
- Miramar
- Calm
- Red tail
- Red wood
- Rincon
- Palace
- Horizon
- Tiburon
Adaptability
Apple began converting the MAC lineup into Apple Silicon in 2020 and completed it by 2023. Since then, there has been a steady decline in support for Intel Mac with each new MACOS release.
Only a few Intel-based machines have been supported in Macos Sequoia, the final update of Apple:
- 2018 Mac Mini
- 2019–2020 IMAC model
- 2017 Imac Pro
- 2020 MacBook Air
- 2018–2020 MacBook Pro Model
- 2019 Mac Pro
With the increasing prevalence of AI features, it may be that the MacoS 16 is the final version supporting minus Apple intelligence features, which requires MAC with apple silicon chips. If Apple left support for the oldest models in the above list, this Apple will be loyal to give at least five -year software support for its equipment.
Rumor design changes
The apple version 16 is planning a radical redirect of Macos with 16, and the most important scene may be refreshing because Macos Big Sur was introduced in 2020, according to, according to, according to, Bloomberg,
Macrumrs concept render
The upcoming Mac operating system will be part of Apple’s comprehensive effort to create more consistent interfaces in all its platforms, including the iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro. The redisine will update the style of “icon, menu, apps, windows and system buttons” throughout the system.
According to people familiar with the project, which is internal “cheer”, Apple aims to simplify navigation and device control by bringing design elements from Visionos to Mac experience. While specific details remain limited, some may be involved in changes:
- Full of icon, menu and system button
- New window styles and management features
- Simplified navigation mechanism
- Visanos inspired by visions (potential circular app icon?)
- More translucent interface element
- More and more visual stability with iOS and iPados
The redisine is described as “relaxed -based” on the Software Interface of the Vision Pro when adapted to the traditional display. Bloomberg noted that some “immersive” elements of vision pro experience would not translate into 2D world of McOS.
The design overhaul is reportedly a major focus for Apple’s software engineering organization and user interface team within its design group. Alan Dye, who helped craft the revolutionary redesign of iOS 7 in 2013, is said to have been overseeing the software design for the project.
While Apple is working to make its operating system more consistent, the company is deliberately avoiding merging them completely. Bloomberg Reports states that Apple believes that it can create better MAC and iPad by maintaining separate operating systems, while consumers can encourage consumers to buy both types of equipment.
new features
Captive Wi-Fi Data Sinking
Apple is developing a new feature that will synchronize the captive Wi-Fi portal login information in devices, according to which BloombergThe system will allow users to enter login details for captive Wi-Fi networks-usually found in hotels, airports and coffee shops-once, then automatically sink that information in their iPhone, iPad and Mac devices.
Apple is allegedly preparing timely feature for WWDC 2025, suggesting that it will probably arrive with iOS 19, iPados 19, and Macos 16.
Google genini
According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Google can reach a deal with Apple to add Google Gemini to the iPhone in mid -2025. From that time, it suggests that functionality can be added to iOS 19, iPados 19, and Macos 16. Google Gemini will be added as an alternative to Chatgpt for Siri requests.
Set Default Digital Assistant (European Union)
Apple is planning to give users in the European Union to give users the ability to set a default voice auxiliary, according to this, according to this BloombergApple has allegedly planned to introduce changes in several software platforms, so it is expected to at least to turn on the iPhone, iPad and MAC.
AI Battery Management?
Bloomberg The reports that Apple planned to use AI to help users manage their iPhone’s battery life better. In iOS 19,, an AI-powered battery management option will be analyzed as to how a tool is used and make adjustments where it is possible to cut the use of the battery. The battery option will be included in the Apple Intelligence Suit of features, which has apple drawing on battery data that it has collected from users over time.
It is not clear that Apple plans to bring a uniform AI-based battery-saving feature on MACOSI 16 in Macos 16, but it is difficult to imagine why the company does not choose.
Possible head update
Apple has delayed some new SIRI features planned for Macos 15 as part of its Apple Intelligence Suit Tools. These updates can now start with Macos 16, possibly in the fall of 2025 or even in 2026 MACOS 16 updates. Apple is a more intelligent and individual Siri, which is capable of understanding the context, interacting with onscreen materials, and integrating more deeply with apps.
personal reference
Siri will be able to assist with emails, messages, files, photos, and more -to help with your data to help and recall information.

- Get the direction -guidelines and share ETA with Eric.
- I send email prepared to Eric.
Accessibility facilities
Every May, Apple has shared the details on the new accessibility features, which he is planning to add to the upcoming versions of its software. This year, Apple expanded several new accessibility options that would come in Macos 16.
Vehicle speed signal
The iPhone vehicle motion in Apple Mac in Macos 16 will expand the facility. Alternative feature shows moving dots on the screen of the iPhone, to help reduce the motion disease when using the device in a moving vehicle. In addition, Apple is going to provide new ways to customize on-screen dots on Mac.
Magnia
The magnifying on MAC uses zoom feature of the camera camera, beating the feed through a continuation of a MAC through the camera. There are options to create several live sessions windows to track a presentation while zoom on a textbook, and each scene can be adapted to different -glow levels and different -to -different needs with color and contrast filters. Magnifier on Mac, is an expansion of the existing magnifying option on the iPhoneion, which allows the ophone to zoom on the text and use objects.
other features
- The accessibility nutrition label in the app store, which will highlight accessibility features within apps and games.
- A new system-wide accessibility reader tool will make it easier for users with low vision or dyslexia. This feature will give users new ways to customize the text and focus on the materials they want to read, with extensive options for font, color and vacancy.
- Braille Access Mac will convert Mac into a full-specialist Braille Note Taker.
- Personal voice will be faster and easy to use, thanks to the progress in on-device machine learning and artificial intelligence. Apple says that this feature will be able to create a smooth, more natural-sounding replica of your voice in less than a minute, using only 10 recorded phrases.
Release date
Apple usually previews its next generation operating system for MACS during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in early June, and releases the first developer Betas immediately after the incident. Usually (but not always), Apple releases all its new platform software updates, so we hope to look at Macos 16 around September.
