What are the official Apple names of the, I haven't even looked. What are actually the official name of the MacBook Pros these days?

I think mostly because... They're getting rid of these numbers, but they're kind of replacing them with another number because... The A series processors and the M series processors, guess what, have numbers on them. And the A's are already up to 17, 18, right?

So iPhone, iPhone Pro, parentheses, A18 Pro, it's just move the 18 out of the, you know, it's like, and it's been, you know, a frustration of developers and other people have to deal with these things that the numbers are not synced up between the OS version, the processor version and the phone version.

It would be nice if they got synced up, but I'm looking at Apple's compare page for the MacBook Pros and it says MacBook Pro 14 inch parentheses M3. They seem to be liking the processors in the parentheses, which is fine. Like sometimes there are years. These aren't. I don't know. These are the official like.

actual Apple product names and the tech specs, but I'm just saying what's in the compare page. But the thing they're putting in parentheses is the processor, and all their processors have numbers in them. I mean, it is an improvement in tractability in that, like, if you don't care about that part, you're just like, I got an iPad Pro. I got a MacBook Pro.

Or maybe I got a 14-inch or a 15-inch MacBook Pro. But you don't care what the processor is, and someone might ask you. In the same way, you're like, I got a new iPhone, or I got a new iPad. Which one did you get? Well, do you care about the processor? Then you can list it. But if you don't, you're not distracted by it. I mean, I do see I see a trend towards unifying under this scheme.

Is this scheme better than the existing scheme? Well, there is something to be said for consistency across Apple's product lines. If they can ever even ever so briefly attain that before they go off in another direction, that would be cool. Um, but it's interesting to think about in the context of the, uh, the, the iPhone suffix, right?

Because the iPhone will be left with no suffix, just like the iPad is, but all the other iPhones have something se pro pro max, which has two suffixes. Isn't great. Maybe if there's an ultra, maybe there's a slim or an air or whatever. Um, That's something to look forward for next year.

And the iPhone 17, which I guess we can't call the iPhone 17 if they go with the naming scheme, supposedly is actually going to change the form factor. And just like the iPhone X did, change the form factor and briefly go into a letter-based naming system for the top-end phone before we return to numbers. So as always, with all things naming, it is.

Not entirely chaos in the Apple world, but there's a little bit of spice thrown in.

maybe possibly yeah we've talked about this 5g modem for ages it's kind of interesting that you were saying like oh they probably don't want to roll out their very first uh cellular modem on a really important product line so you put it on the se so if you really messed up damage is minimal and it also looks like uh the modem won't even have millimeter waves so it's not even suitable for the pro phones assuming apple wants to continue having millimeter wave and by the way the ifixit teardowns of the uh like the current 16 pro and stuff
