Yes. The iPad is the most popular, and it makes the most sense for it to keep its original name, because it is the OG line. There really is no reason to confuse everyone with a useless name change, cuz nobody outside of MacRumors really cares about your hypothetical new naming scheme.
Can you tell me where you get your sales statistics from? As far as I know, Apple stopped sharing unit shipment data six years ago. I am just curious.
And regarding the "OG line." Apple has changed that a lot.
iPad Air replaced the "OG" line in 2010, then they went back to simple
iPad name in 2017, then in 2017 started selling
iPad and
iPad Air simultaneously. You see?
The MacBook Pro is a form factor
that's a very arbitrary line. By that logic, there should be an M1 MacPro?
Some people need faster SoCs yes, but not everyone does. Some people need the advantages of the MBP design
True, but you can't cater to everyone's particular set of needs and create a product for them. Companies create different lines of products for different sets of needs, and it can't always be all the features you want and none of the ones you don't. (Think of
trims in modern cars. Some features come bundled with others. If you want MBP's display, sure, it comes with an M3 Pro.)
M4 MacBook Pro will be faster than every single Intel Mac ever made
That's just the progression on tech though. It doesn't mean much in this context.
But then again, it's just us talking and no one at Apple is listening. Moot.
