Famed leaked Jon Prosser tweeted today suggesting that Apple could use the 'iPhone OS' to name iOS 14 to align with iPadOS.
XDA writer Max Weinbach also claims to have received emails showing that Apple would rename iOS to iPhone OS.
"Dude I got a random email saying Apple would rename iOS to iPhone OS and the iPhone to Apple Phone and I didn't believe It... .wow," he said. .wow," he said.
Apple's late founder Steve Jobs said in 2007 that iPhone runs OSX. However, Apple officially used the iPhone OS name when it shipped from the factory. It was only when the iPad changed its name to iOS.
It's worth noting that Apple unveiled iPadOS at WWDC 2019, also with the new name of the operating system.
If this turns out to be true, Apple's future OS lineup will be :
macOS
iPhoneOS
iPadOS
watchOS
tvOS
