Sometimes it's a year, sometimes it's, in the past it's been like, you know, MacBook Pro parentheses dual USB, like all sorts of stuff. But the rumor is that this would be kind of like the iPhone SE, right? The iPhone SE 4, all right, versus iPhone SE parentheses A16 or something like that.

I'm not entirely sure that the parentheses stuff version of Apple naming is any better than just calling an iPhone 17. In many ways, it's worse. But it is interesting that the iPhones have stubbornly stuck with these numbers.

I remember years ago, people were like, well, surely when they get to 10 or 11 or 12, they're going to stop because iPhone 17 sounds so dumb or iPhone 16, whatever number everyone was saying sounded so dumb. We've already been there and done that and sold that phone and we all survived, right? But...

The fact is, the Macs, the iPads, and lots of other Apple products don't have numbers in the official product names, but the iPhone still does. So are we all looking at a future where every product, including the iPhone SE and all the iPads and all the iPhones, has some weird thing in parentheses after it? Or are we just going to keep making that number go up until we're an iPhone 137?

We used to have this discussion and people would say, does anyone want the iPhone 15? That's ridiculous.

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.
