Oh my god naming things. That's another thing that basically only Apple does right. I still can't get over how many companies have decided that their naming scheme for consumer products should just be a bunch of random letters and numbers, I guess because they think it sounds more advanced and techey? Thinkpads are another massive offender here.

- FireBeyond 6y agoEven Apple screws it up. There's been periods where the MacBook Air wasn't the lightest MacBook. And there's some nebulousness over the Pro lineup (more so on the Mac - the i* lines are more clear).
- wlesieutre 6y agoBroadly speaking, "Pro" in Apple's line is "the more expensive version." It's mainly in the Mac Pro and iMac Pro where it's a particularly significant difference for professional use. Feels weird how the AirPods have Pro and Max as separate totally different products, but in in the iPhone where the "Max" has been used before, "Pro Max" is one product. The rumored name I heard for these was "AirPods Studio", but probably the right call to not use the word "Studio" in headphones that don't have an audio jack on them. But I'll take it over AirPods ASDF380C.
