Apple is gearing up to unveil a rebranding of its operating systems at the upcoming WWDC event in June. However, industry expert Mark Gurman has revealed that the iPhone 17 is unlikely to undergo any name changes as part of this rebrand. The company's latest operating systems will follow a new numbering system based on the upcoming year, similar to how car manufacturers label their models. Despite this shift, the iPhone 17, set to release later this year, will retain its current moniker.
Apple's decision to revamp its operating systems is a key part of a broader rebranding strategy aimed at creating a more seamless user experience across its devices. Reports suggest that the new OS designs will draw inspiration from visionOS, the software used in the Apple Vision Pro. Additionally, the iPhone 17 series is expected to feature updated designs and come equipped with 12 GB of RAM in most models.
