I assume, they’ll start following a year of release both for macOS and iOS, so it would be easier to know for non-techies. But my first reaction was ‘em, 8 years into the future? Looks weird, isn’t it? Maybe that’s some kind of a joke.’
Apple is reportedly going to rename all of its operating systems (theverge.com)

It's speculation at the moment (macrumors.com), it hasn't been officially announced yet.
But thanks for clarifying!
I only found out yesterday if that helps. Makes some kind of sense now they're on a regular yearly update cycle.
We were doing years without abbreviation before the numbers went from 80s and 90s to 00s.
Everyone knew what "Product 95" was, or "Product 97".
But then "Product 0" or "Product 2" didn't work, so vendors switched to major versions instead of years.
A quarter century later, we're reviving the year as version thing.
that's not going to happen
