the pro and pro max have the same features and specs, the max just has a larger screen and battery, and obviously physically larger and heavier. In some years, the max has a bit better camera zoom, but that's really the only differences. This year, the zooms are equivalent.

sounds like you're looking for another tier of phones
 
“Ultra” is the cheesiest most 90s word going. “Ultra HD” sounds like it should be on the box of a sega genesis. It’s ridiculous.

The fact that it’s the standard for a resolution, and that Apple uses it for a chip name is just so silly and sounds so amateur.

Perhaps. But you have to admit that “Max” sounds even dumber. It’s like a dog’s name or the red text on a cheap cereal box that says we’re getting a bigger pack for the same price.

Personally I’m hoping, especially with the quickly approaching iPhone 20s and 21s which are just going to sound absolutely ridiculous, we see a rethink.
Next year, we are apparently going to get a 6.6 inch iPhone air. If this is followed the the next year by a smaller Air around 6.0 inches, we will see a rebranding.

iPhone SE (or just iPhone)
iPhone Air (two sizes)
iPhone Pro (two sizes)

No more numbers, we just referred to them by year/processor generation like iPads and MacBooks.
iPhone Air A19
The 2027 iPhone Pro
Etc

Haha it’s true, 100% agree. It’s terrible.
