To give Rancho its due, rather than being the butt end of a WWDC joke, I wanted to see if I could create a beautiful macOS-style wallpaper of this locale.įor speed, Basic Apple Guy created the first design with Midjourney but it was such a low resolution that he decided to recreate a version from scratch at a higher quality with more detail as well as “a vectorized tree at the vanishing point.” Before unveiling OS X Yosemite Apple teased about considering OS X Oxnard, OS X Weed, and yes, OS X Rancho Cucamonga. To get everyone up to speed, at WWDC14, in the early days of the transition from OS’s named after big cats (Lion, Jaguar, Tiger, Leopard, etc.) to places in California, Craig Federighi joked about Apple’s “Crack Marketing Team” driving around California in search of the next name for OS X. The new design has roots in a Craig Federighi joke that’s turned into a serene and beautiful design paying homage to the imaginary “macOS Rancho Cucamonga.”īasic Apple Guy shared the new wallpapers and the background on how the new creation came to life in a blog post this weekend. Basic Apple Guy is back this weekend with another gorgeous wallpaper for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
