Apple has once again indicated that it would be soon renaming its Mac operating system OS X as MacOS. Apple blogs spotted that the company referred to “macOS” — with a conspicuously lowercase M — on a page that detailed revenue-sharing policies for developers, updated this week. The apparently inadvertent reference echoes another made earlier this year on an official Apple site, when the company mentioned MacOS on a new environment-focused page it put up in honor of Earth Day.
Apple slip-up once again suggests it’s rebranding OS X as macOS
In both cases, the references to MacOS were quickly deleted and replaced with “OS X,” but the rumor that Apple will give its MacOS a name more in keeping with its other operating systems persists. A file found inside OS X’s latest update even mentions “macOS” (again with lowercase letters), adding to a pile of mounting evidence that could mean we’ll see a rebrand this year — perhaps at the company’s upcoming WWDC conference.
