They haven’t all been great though. How one says ‘X’ in the Apple ecosystem has always been trouble, and they seem to repeatedly fall into that trap. There is also the weird pleuralisation issues they have (iPhones 7? iPhone 7s? How do you pleuralise the iPhone 7S?). Some of the releases shared a name too, like Mountain Lion and High Sierra (which were great so are forgiven).

Huh? Always ten, 7Ss (seven esses... ese), and just like S those mean minor releases based on a previous major, just with software not hardware.

If you ask people what various Apple things are called you won’t get the X pronounced as 10. Xcode comes to mind too.

as a developer for only the last 4ish years I never even put together that the X in Xcode had anything to do with the X in OSX
