Emir BardakçıApple’s revolutionary decision to abandon iOS 19 in favor of iOS 26 has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, with many wondering if other manufacturers will follow suit. Apple is introducing a year-based naming scheme where software versions reflect the calendar year they’ll primarily be used in, making iOS 26 the next major update despite currently being on iOS 18. This bold move raises an intriguing question: could Xiaomi adopt a similar strategy and jump from HyperOS 2 directly to HyperOS 26? While HyperOS 3 development is currently underway with an expected October 2025 release, the tech giant might consider aligning with Apple’s innovative naming convention.
Apple’s Bold Naming Revolution
Apple’s shift to year-based naming means iOS 26 will be previewed in June 2025 and released in September 2025, representing the year users will primarily experience the software. This strategic change eliminates confusion around version numbering and creates a more intuitive system for consumers to understand software lifecycles.
Current HyperOS 3 Development Status
HyperOS 3 is anticipated to roll out in October 2025, following Xiaomi’s customary release calendar that aligns with their annual flagship phone launches. The upcoming version will be built on Android 16 and promises significant improvements across Xiaomi’s ecosystem of devices including smartphones, tablets, and IoT products.
Why Xiaomi Might Consider Year-Based Naming
Several compelling reasons could drive Xiaomi to adopt Apple’s year-based approach:
- Market alignment with industry leader Apple’s naming strategy
- Consumer clarity regarding software relevance and timeline
- Global standardization across different markets and regions
- Future-proofing the naming convention for long-term sustainability
Potential Challenges and Considerations
While the concept is intriguing, Xiaomi faces unique challenges in implementing such a dramatic naming change. The company’s established development cycle and existing roadmap for HyperOS 3 would require significant adjustments to accommodate a year-based system.

هههههههه لماذا تتبعون أبل في كل خطرة اليس عندكم شخصية واصلا نظامك لن يصل الى ربع مستوى iOS فكفاكم و انظروا الى شركة سامسونج
Xiaomi has been making similar user interfaces for years, so don’t get your hopes up for future updates—nothing changes for the global version anyway.

The Chinese cannot make a good system, but they can imitate it well.

you people are posting updates but you are changing nothing,if your phone is android 13 it will still be the same unlike Samsung,I have Redmi note 12pro I have been updating and nothing will change,so don’t download update infact am not recommending anyone to buy this type of the phones in future …..
new update
I personally don’t see the point of skipping 3.0 to 26 I doesn’t make any sense
I accured a redmi 12 when it was on android 13 and there came the hyperos which gave us promises but the truth there was no promised reached
they advertised the change in interface which changed slightly but mostly when you see the what they are advertising you get attached and purchase the device but when you purchase the device that’s the end they speak of updates but nothing changes you see I still have the old task bar unlike the one they advertised when they where bringing in the hyperos so I will need the @xiaomi to think about all the lies they have made and fix them
yeah yeah, hyperOS 26🤣. hyperOS GLOBAL already sucks, so don’t expect much changes except for lockscreen. Even Xiaomi 14T series os sucks. Their flagship os is better.
