While their accurate release dates remain unknown, the names are already in the wild, although they have not been confirmed by Apple yet. According to the rumors, iOS 19 goes by as "Luck," macOS 16 is nicknamed "Cheer," watchOS 12 is known as "Nepali," and visionOS 3 is labeled "Discovery" for now.
Announced three weeks ago, when the first developer beta build was unleashed, iOS 18 is still in the preview stage. The latest version, labeled 18.0 beta 2, was released on June 24th. However, there are already circulating rumors about the development of several next-gen operating systems from Apple, including iOS 19.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, these are the major pieces of code that Apple is already working on and their nicknames:
iOS 19 - Luck
macOS 16 - Cheer
watchOS 13 - Nepali
visionOS 3 - Discovery
Obviously, it's too early to talk about specific features and release dates, but it is almost certain that all the next-gen software products coming from Apple will use its own AI solutions without partnering with Meta. Gurman found out from insiders familiar with Apple's inner workings that Meta is not considered a solid partner in this field, as the AI teams in Cupertino are looking up to OpenAI (already confirmed at WWDC 2024 as a partner for future software solutions), Google, and Anthropic as much better providers of AI services and products. The other partner(s) chosen should be unveiled to the public this fall, around the launch of Apple Intelligence.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
