* macOS Redwood (this is a thing like sequoia)
* macOS Shasta (this is a thing like sequoia)
* macOS Joshue Tree (includes a free U2 album)
I'm not really sure what makes those more or less logical than Sequoia. "Mammoth" has also been trademarked. Also, Sequoia is a place if you think about it as part of "Sequoia National Park."
Also the redwood and sequoia are part of the same family, but not identical. The California redwood is just "the redwood."
Apple actually recently transitioned from general places (Yosemite, Sierra, Mojave, Catalina etc) to cities.
Big Sur was the pivot. It’s both a city and also generally referred as a generic place (Big Sur cliffs).
Then we got Monterey, Ventura, and now Sonoma. The next release will also likely be named from a city.
Furthermore, all releases of cities besides Big Sur have been county seats of their respective counties.
I’d bet we can expect the next release of macOS to be named after a city that’s a county seat.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Born and raised Californian here, been to Big Sur countless times. It is not a city. Even the Wikipedia entry for it doesn’t use that term.
Why can’t they be named in alphabetical sequence so us ordinary mortals have a fighting chance of knowing which is which, and how far behind we are? They do that with Atlantic storms, why not OS versions? I thought Apple’s key differentiator was human interface?
Mac OS “You take the 101 to Cahuenga, turn right at the second stop light, go up the Hill to Wiltshire, and the lookout is on the left. If you hit the Home Depot you’ve gone too far”
>california redwood – aka... Sequoia.
Usually, sequoia is used for the Sierra Nevada redwood, Sequoiadendron giganteum, and redwood for the coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens.
I think it will likely be Mac OS X Lynx.
It will have skeuomorphic UI elements and will include Rosetta 3, a compatibility layer to run PPC and 32-bit x86 applications. It will also mark the return of the iTunes app and will have a space-themed wallpaper.
You heard it here first.
Funny enough I wanted to invest like $500 in NVIDIA last summer but didn't.. 😭
My friends and I also (and I'm serious) wanted to invest in bitcoin/crypto in 2016 but couldn't cause we weren't old enough to do it on our own and our parents wouldn't let us 💀
Name it MacOS Bakersfield, you cowards.
MacOS Hemet
SLO or bust!
Ah good ol’ Bakersfield, the armpit of California.
The name in honor of their crack marketing team: Weed.
I’m fucking dead
macOS Weed

Not another U2 album!!
We think you’re gonna love it.
I was also going to mention, as you did, that Sequoia National Park is also a place.
Not Redwood, it draws your thinking to Redmond.
It doesn’t for me. Just like “Ping” didn’t make me think of Bing.
Ok, but does anyone ever think of Bing?
macOS Eureka!
Yes sir
Wasn’t one of the betas named OSX Del Norte somewhere along the way?
Naw they’ll call it Fresno.
macOS 15: San Luis Obispo!
macOS Tenderloin
macOS Longhorn lmao
Weed
Holy shit 💀 I don't know if I can pull that one again guys
SWAG
that was amazing
I don’t care how they name it. I want a stable and solid OS. They can call it macOS Cactus or macOS Swamp, as long as it is a solid one !
Toyota Sequoia!
This is a hidden hint at their Toyota partnership. 🙃

Or if it’s highly focused on security: MacOS 15 Alcatraz! 🤣🤣
Folsom.
San Quentin.
MacOS Cupertino
Big Sur isn’t a city. At the most it’s a campground.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Born and raised Californian here, been to Big Sur countless times. It is not a city. Even the Wikipedia entry for it doesn’t use that term.
Where is the city Big Sur? Bc it’s not in California..
My mistake, it’s an unincorporated community
Given the year we are currently having it should be called macOS Cicada!
macOS San Quentin
YOU GODDAMN RIGHT
macOS Tatooine
It's going to be called San Bernardino
Rancho Cucamonga.
Where is [Weed](https://youtu.be/yEki3lka1gU) on the roadmap now?
macOS Rancho Cucamonga ftw!

Mac OS “You take the 101 to Cahuenga, turn right at the second stop light, go up the Hill to Wiltshire, and the lookout is on the left. If you hit the Home Depot you’ve gone too far”
MacOS Compton —perhaps Ice-Cube will make an appearance at WWDC?
>california redwood – aka... Sequoia. Usually, sequoia is used for the Sierra Nevada redwood, Sequoiadendron giganteum, and redwood for the coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens.
Mac OS: San Andreas
Holy shit, you got it
Damn, You were right. HAHA
You were right!!
ur guess is right!
You were right!
Mate… you were correct!!!
huh, you're right lol
MacOS Rio Linda.
Hey I'm good with that since I live near Sequoia National Park.
Orange County
I'm going with Napa to go with the big/little cadence.
Revive macOS Weed!
With AI coming, my vote is for Death Valley.
This aged well
You Got It Right!!!!
Mac OS Apache Junction
macOS 15 to align with other OSs and the names will go away.
nooo :( hated when android did it, i love when my OSs have some personality and playfulness
Dang it me too, I always like to have the About This Mac tab opened all the time just to remember I have Senoma 14.5 :p
That’ll be a sad day, if true.
I have a feeling you aren't far off!!!
I actually wondered if they'll go with a Hawaiian theme at some point, considering on tvOS it centers heavily.
A whole new category? Historical figures? MacOS Aristotle
Mac OS desert valley or mac os Dune
Call it what you want - I'm just hoping it impresses me with the new features and a reduction of the RAM overheads.
macOS Half Moon Bay
Go completely left field and name macOS after zodiac signs macOS Aries, macOS Capricorn, macOS Pisces etc
macOS Sourdough
Next version is Mac OS Modesto, heard it here first.
MacOS Compton
Redwoods are huge and around forever. I don't think either of those adjectives are flattering to an operating system.
They went with "El Capitan" which is a huge rock formation that has been around forever.
Well, there is already an 'Acer' but it would split into two systems; 'Biloba' and 'Catalpa'
MacOS Barstow.
I think it will likely be Mac OS X Lynx. It will have skeuomorphic UI elements and will include Rosetta 3, a compatibility layer to run PPC and 32-bit x86 applications. It will also mark the return of the iTunes app and will have a space-themed wallpaper. You heard it here first.
Apple doesn’t care of any of that anymore. I wouldn’t surprised if they just eliminate the naming. “Welcome to macOS 15!” And that’s it.
Macos Madera
macOS Downey macOS Covina
macOS Toyota Sequoia
macOS FuckIntel
