Apple, or more precisely, its “Yosemite Research LLC” shell company renewed the Mammoth name on May 1 of this year. This is presumably because they’d like to use it for a future version of macOS. Apple’s Mammoth trademark filed and renewed by Yosemite Research LLCĪpple’s trademark for Mammoth was originally filed in March of 2013 alongside other macOS names, but, unlike many of the others, Apple has continued to renew it on an ongoing basis. Suffice to say, it’s in the same neighborhood as other macOS names. The town of Mammoth Lakes sits northeast of Monterey and is directly between Yosemite National Park and the Sierra National Forest. Mammoth Lakes happens to be quite close to Yosemite and El Capitan. The area is also well known for Red Meadow, which is home to Rainbow Falls.
Situated directly next to Mammoth Lake Basin is Mammoth Mountain. Mammoth Lakes, California, is a resort town in the Sierra mountains. But we do know what we want to see.įirst off, let’s talk about the name a bit. So what might we see in macOS 13 in 2022? Well, we don’t know yet.
The two renewed names were in fact “Monterey” and “Mammoth.” It’s only natural to assume that next year’s release of macOS will be called Mammoth with Monterey being chosen this year. Earlier this year we correctly predicted that macOS 12 would be called “Monterey” and later discovered renewed Apple trademarks for places in California.
