Why OSX will be renamed iOS in the near future.

Lets face it OS “Ten” isn’t going to make much sense when the version number goes beyond 10.9.9.

Apple could of course forget the link ( as most of us have) and call it OSX 11 but there’s a very good reason why they will consider rebranding OSX to iOS.

Let’s review some numbers:-

Windows is used by approx 400m users worldwide.

OSX is approaching 60m users.

iOS is upward of 200m users.

Given Apples love for massaging figures (e.g. including iPhones, iPads, iTouch AND classic iPods for the purposes of “mobile” statistics) there’s a million good reasons to rebrand a future major upgrade of OSX as iOS.

Well, 260m+ reasons actually.
