    No they ditched OSX and yearly point updates in 2020 and went from Mac OSX 10.15.7 to MacOS 11.0

    The next yearly release was MacOS 12.

    It’s now up to 14.2.1

      Ah thanks for that! You can tell how long it’s been since I’ve used Mac OS.

        Probably just wanted a higher number than windows or didn’t want to get leapfrogged. Also makes more sense with iOS having a similar schedule.

        Actually yeah

        In 2000, Steve Jobs announced Mac OS X as the operating system for the next 20 years. So they kept the version for 20 years and well… in 2020 they started to make the yearly updates be major version number updates again (instead of minor version numbers).
