Next version of Android: 4.3, not 5.0; Jelly Bean again, not Key Lime Pie
In recent weeks and months, the tech community has increasingly referred to the next release of Android as version 5.0, or ‘Key Lime Pie’.
Since version 1.5 (Cupcake), major updates to Android have gained a delicious codename beginning with the next letter in the alphabet, and as it has widely been assumed that the next version would make the leap to 5.0 from the current version, 4.2.2 (the latest Jelly Bean release), a dessert beginning with the letter K has seemed like a reasonable assumption.
It now appears, however, that we may need to cast those assumptions aside. Artem Russakovskii from Android Police has been doing some digging with the help of his readers, and has discovered evidence that the next Android release won’t be called Key Lime Pie, and won’t even be version 5.0.
