Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), held from June 10-14, has tech enthusiasts buzzing with anticipation for the latest macOS update. As the tradition goes, predicting the new name of macOS has become a favourite pastime, especially since Apple started naming its Mac software after various locations around California with macOS 10.9.
Reflecting on past releases, the names which have been seen include:
- macOS Big Sur
- macOS Monterey
- macOS Ventura
- macOS Sonoma
These names highlight California's diverse geography, including coastlines (Mavericks), mountains (Sierra), deserts (Mojave), and national parks (Yosemite and El Capitan). This year, speculation is rife that the new name will reflect the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) features in macOS, with an enhanced Siri leading the charge.

The big question on everyone's mind is, what will macOS 15 be called? Toms Guide guessed that Apple will go with macOS Hollywood, symbolising the glitz and glamour of AI-driven innovation. The integration of AI features suggests a significant revamp, making Siri smarter and more conversational than ever before.
While the residents of Hollywood, Florida, might feel a slight twinge of territorial encroachment, the name would undoubtedly capture the imagination of Apple users worldwide. As we await the official announcement, one thing is certain: macOS 15 promises to be a groundbreaking update, bringing a touch of Hollywood magic to our beloved Macs.
