Well iPhone XS could be pronounced "excess"how about new iPhone model calls iPhone Extremely Expensive
The part that gets me is that with Apple's processors, there's a tier called Max, as in maxiumum. Maximum is by definition "the most" of something, and yet they have (to quote Spinal Tap) turned it up to 11 by making an Ultra that's greater than the Max.The "Pro" part makes zero sense in most of their product lineup. What kind of professional needs the AirPods Pro that a regular user has no use for? Although I don't like "extreme" either it would probably make better sense.
Hey, I've still got the last version of the Airport Extreme running at my house!You and I are the only people in this world with a notion of what an AirPort Extreme is in the year of our lord 2024
…and iBooks.Why shouldn’t they? They brought the MagSafe name back for the iPhone

Pro is still awful branding. Nothing ‘pro’ about listening to something. I personally think the Pro branding is dating terribly.
I don't use mine anymore, but It's still mounted on the wall. I'm too nostalgic to take it down. I wish Apple would make a modern version. I would gladly pay the premium for it. For all the years I had mine I never had a single issue. I would have liked to keep using it, but it couldn't keep up with my internet speed.Hey, I've still got the last version of the Airport Extreme running at my house!
Yeah, I wish they'd stayed in that business too. The Airports were so much more reliable than the other brands I'd used previously. It's funny how people used to complain about the price - yet now they're paying much more for most mesh systems.I don't use mine anymore, but It's still mounted on the wall.

Apple needs to do a better job at naming their products/ naming conventions. The whole extreme, pro, air, ultra, plus, max just confuses customers. The name needs to inherently describe the product, clearly indicate where a model sits amongst other models, and be consistent across all product lines.
Airpod Express.Should have named them AirPod Pros or AirPod Extremes instead.
I agree, a quantifiable model is definitely more descriptive. They should have a regular, pro, and ultra model then add a screen size to it. For example:I wish they'd go back to the Product Name [number]/[speed] like they used to have. Power Macintosh 7500/120 is incredibly informative.
At 3nm will a MBP 16" M3 Ultra be possible?I agree, a quantifiable model is definitely more descriptive. They should have a regular, pro, and ultra model then add a screen size to it. For example:
16" Macbook Ultra
14" Macbook
6.5" iPhone Pro
8.1" iPhone Ultra
