When Apple dropped the ‘X’ from Mac OS X in 2016, it seemed like a simple rebranding. But what if I told you... the ‘X’ never actually left? Hidden within every modern version of macOS is a secret—a legacy of software that most people don’t even know exists. In this video, we’re uncovering the true story of what the ‘X’ really stood for and why it’s still there, quietly powering your Mac today.

From an operating system Steve Jobs built during his exile from Apple to a piece of code that changed computing forever, this is a tale of hidden history, technical brilliance, and a kernel that refused to die. What was the real meaning of the ‘X’ in Mac OS X? And how did it shape the macOS we use today?
