I wonder why MacOS often is referred to as their name instead of version numbers like every other OS? Seems pretty confusing for new users (myself) or someone who doesn't use MacOS.
When people compare macos like "bigsur" or "Ventura" or "Monterey" I have no idea what's older and what's newer. If someone says "iOS 17 is better than iOS 15" I can immediately understand which one is newer.
Apple just loves to make their stuff seem special by giving it names. Those names are often ridiculous but somehow it looks like they get the job done. I mean come on, dynamic island? I cringe every time I hear that name.
But on the other hand take a look at the chip names. While their competitors use chips like "something mtux64-828qwerty", Apple releases a new A15 ✨bionic✨ which sounds like something that will literally change the world. I mean, it's bionic, that has to be incredible, right?
I agree. I still cringe after their event last night. Wtf is "super retina XDR"? It's a damn OLED, just call it that.
And their brag about supporting repair right and "repairability" make my blood boil.
