With the next-generation version of iOS and other 2025 software updates, Apple is planning to change its numbering scheme. Rather than iOS 19, which would logically follow iOS 18, Apple is instead going to call the update iOS 26. Apple plans to use 26 across all of its platforms (the number representing the upcoming year), which will presumably be less confusing than having iOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, and visionOS 3. But what does the change mean for the iPhone?
But I did memorize the change. Why? Because that info makes scam emails and phishing links easier to spot.
Lazier or sloppier fraudsters sometimes use older logos (or even badly approximated logos) in their campaigns. If you know what a company's most current branding looks like, you can quickly avoid these lower-effort scam attempts.
This particular overhaul on Google's part is notable too, as subtle as it is. After almost a decade of the four distinct color blocks in the "G," Google's designers switched to gradients between the red, yellow, green, and blue. (Somewhere print designers are weeping, but the web doesn't care.)
