- ben174 6y agoWow, nice catch.
- rahkiin 6y agoProbably as they already dropped the X before. It is macOS
- toyg 6y agoWhat was "silent" about it? They made a big song & dance of dropping the X last year. This just makes it even more official.
- sigjuice 6y agoThe X was dropped in 2016, with macOS Sierra. Maybe because they needed the X next year for the iPhone.
- toyg 6y agoMan, after turning 35 and having kids, all years just blend into one ;)
- mwfunk 6y agoThat was dropping the X from the name, not changing the major version number from 10 to 11. It's had a major version number of 10 ever since the first release of OS X. Most people assumed the actual version number would stay at 10.x.x forever, regardless of any changes to the marketing name of the OS itself.
- chadlavi 6y agoI'm gonna guess that putting macs on annual major version numbers is just another piece of lining up macOS for an eventual merger with the iPad.
