Keep in mind last year saw the release of macOS 11, also known as macOS Big Sur. It's also calling the software macOS 12 Monterey - a name inspired by the Big Sur coastline. Because so much new hardware is on the horizon, Apple, of course, used WWDC 2021 to announce macOS 12, also known as Monterey.

This year is no exception, especially as Apple gears up to launch even more new Macs during 2021 - with updates to the 27-inch iMac and MacBook Air expected as well as an all-new MacBook Pro lineup (14 and 16-inch) running M1X or M2 processors. (Pocket-lint) - Every year Apple launches a new version of macOS, its software for Apple laptops and desktop computers.
