Yes, and if you read outside of the title (which is in title case), it's Apple silicon everywhere else. If it was a trade name, it would have been "Apple Silicon" instead.
- macintux 6y agoYes, you're right. Apple silicon does not show up on Apple's list of trademarks: https://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/trademark/appletmlist.html https://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/trademark/... I'm sure the author should be properly mortified to have used Apple's verbiage to describe Apple's computer without consulting the trademark list.
- nikolay 6y agoI do like things to be called with their proper names and capitalization. I really get pissed when people refer to GitHub as "Github" or to WordPress as "Wordpress". It's Opsgenie, not "OpsGenie" or "Ops Genie", as well. I also think the profanization of calling a SoC or a CPU a "silicon" is like the "plastic" example I referred to. Let's not be lazy when referring to things.
