Abstract:
According to Bloomberg, Apple has adjusted the development process for its next-generation operating systems, including iOS 28, iPadOS 28 and macOS 28. Bloomberg's well-known Apple reporter Mark Gurman said on Sunday that Apple is already deep in the development of next year's operating systems, including iOS 28 and iPadOS 28 code-named "Bell", and macOS 28 code-named "Poppy", but Apple has adjusted its development process.
iOS 28
According to Apple's tradition, the development of new operating systems each year is divided into three main stages, called M1, M2 and M3. Each phase lasts eight weeks and is divided into two parts: the first four weeks are devoted to programming, and the last four weeks are devoted to functional integration, that is, integrating various functions into the operating system.
However, in this round of new system development, Apple has adopted different arrangements for the M1 stage. Instead of the usual four-week split between two halves, Apple engineers were asked to spend six weeks on programming, exploration, and feature development, followed by just two weeks on feature integration.
Employees said they liked the change, saying it gave them more time to come up with ideas and explore them without having to finalize them too early.
The development of the M2 phase will start this Monday. At that point, Apple will begin finalizing the features it plans to roll out to users.
