The next version of your Mac's operating system may be called... Mammoth. Yes, which means mammoth in English. But then, where does this unusual information come from? From the most official records, Apple having registered this brand with the American organization which is responsible for protecting the intellectual property of companies.
In reality, if we want to be more precise, this is a renewal, the name having already been registered before. Furthermore, it was not Apple directly which recovered the rights but a company called “Yosemite Research LLC”. This has already been seen before, during the filing of several other trademarks linked to macOS including “Yosemite” which was the name of its version 10 released in 2014.
Why this nomenclature?
Of course it is impossible to know precisely Apple's motivations which led to choosing this name. We nevertheless know that the firm has had the habit, for several years, of choosing Californian toponyms for the different versions of macOS.Monterey, the most recent current version, is located for example on the Pacific coast.
As for “Mammoth”, it would be a reference to the municipality of Mammoth Lakes in Mono County. This is home to a very popular ski resort in the region. Not far away is also Mammoth Mountain, a still active volcano which sometimes emits fumaroles or even undergoes minor eruptions.
See you in June
Apple has a habit of presenting a new edition of macOS every year. This announcement takes place most of the time on the occasion ofla Worldwide Developer Conference, an event which, as its name suggests, is mainly aimed at third-party app creators. This usually takes place in June, so it's a safe bet that you will only have to wait six months to discover Mammoth.
The list of potential features of this new version, for its part, remains unclear. With Monterey, the focus was on privacy, the Safari browser and notification management. And you, what new options would you like to see arrive in 2022?
