iOS 28 and macOS 28: Why Apple Reportedly Changed the 8-Week Cycle
Apple has reportedly changed how it splits the first development stage for next year's software.
Apple has reportedly changed how it builds iOS 28. Normally, each stage of development is four weeks of coding followed by four weeks of pulling everything together, a phase known as convergence.
For the first stage of iOS 28 and macOS 28, the split is reportedly six weeks of coding and only two of convergence.
Bloomberg reports that employees like the change. They say it leaves more time to come up with ideas.
The measured part
No features have been revealed, and Apple hasn't confirmed the change.
