I don't think so. It could possibly hint at a reduction in cadence for releases. There has been an open line of reporting about Apple that yearly releases were important to Apple but that the yearly release schedule also made it hard for them to divert engineering resources into more experimental projects like LLM-related development.

Linking version numbers to years could be seen in effect to make each one seem less monumentally important.

They've all been receiving yearly releases for a long time now – macOS has had them since Lion, iOS had them from the beginning, and the others are similar.
