macOS, that's what Apple will call the next OS X for Mac

It is the discovery made by a developer who has located the name MacOS deep within OS X El Capitan, evidence that the fall, Apple could rename its desktop operating system. Does this make sense? Well yes, and a lot.

macOS, back to the roots?

In recent years, Apple has tended to adopt generic names for its products and services (Photos, Music, Watch ...) and in terms of their operating systems, all of them begin to be manifested by the product they are aimed at, plus the ending «OS »(Operative System): watchOS, tvOS, iOS. Following this logic, the choice of MacOS as a name for the next version of Apple's desktop operating system, rather than a return to the origins, it would respond to this strategy that when you name or hear something "generic" you think of Apple.

Guilherme Rambo is a developer who has found evidence in OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan that invites you to think that indeed, Apple would be planning OS X renown for macOS.

According to this developer, the framework Private FlightUtilities (supposedly used to track flights, but which remains inactive in El Capitan) is called "FUFlightViewController_macOS.nib". The funny thing about this is not the name of the framework, otherwise the last letters before the name of the extension: MacOS.

macOS 10.12

Just like story To Apple Insider, the full address for this extension is "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FlightUtilities.framework."

If this were true, there is not much left for us to get out of doubt because at WWDC 2016 that will start at the beginning of June, Apple will present the next version of its operating system, whose theoretical name would be macOS 11.

This is what the Brazilian website tells MacMagazine however, since 9to5Mac they point out that they already receive visits from OS X 10.12, without there being any evidence of that supposed new operating system.

At Applelizados we have long suspected that 2016 will be a year of change. iOS will reach its tenth version and this, coupled with OS X 10, could mean a lot. Or maybe not. In any case we will be attentive to see what happens in the coming months, or days.
