Latest releases: codenames?

Code Names

The code names are publicly available here . You do not need an Apple ID to access them.

My office uses the codenames in our database to keep track of which model someone has, like the white iBooks, looking virtually the same, and the PowerMacs having the same case, but different internals (AGP, PCI, Digital Audio, Gigabit Ethernet) etc. It makes it easier to open up Apple's GSX page and get the service manual, or recall similar problems with other Macs of the same model.

 

Often codenames for brand-new products don't surface until a revision is made, until then just refer to them as "new". the new powerbooks, the new powermac, etc... once they revise them, some name will be made for distinction. people have been trying to name the 12" and 17" powerbooks for a while now, most of the names are really ... not the greatest...

This is from Nathalie Welch PR of hardware for APPLE, "Although some product codenames become "public" and used to identify specific configurations, it is not our intention to do so. We prefer media use the actual product name."
No codenames yet and like arn said, they havnt really used them for awhile.
