Apple needs to have the marketing people who come up with California-based macOS names sort this out. If they solved the cat naming crisis then surely they can clean up this mess.



I have a feeling the same idiots that decided on "XS Max" for the iphone, came up with this naming scheme.

If you are at the point that your company is adding MAX to the end of its product names, your company is about to jump the shark (see Boeing).


The repetition is the marketing.



They solved the cat-naming crisis? I missed that memo!


The first 9 release names of OSX (v10.0 - v10.8) were based on cat names after which they switched to Mavericks for v10.10:

- Cheetah

- Puma

- Jaguar

- Panther

- Tiger

- Leopard

- Snow Leopard

- Lion

- Mountain Lion

- Mavericks


"Solved" by ending it after 9 releases, appropriately
