I think Apple kind of realizes that the naming doesn't really matter.
Even with the Intel i-series, you're not looking at the model name to make a purchase decision. You're looking at the technical specs.
- chii 3y agowhich makes the name redundantly uninformative! So why not make the differentiating technical spec part of the name, or have something similar like M2 XXXXX where XXXXX is the number being comparable?
- SkyPuncher 3y agoIt still has some value. It indicates a group of product. Non-sequential naming also gives them the flexibility to shift new products into the category over time. They do this with the M1/M2 in the iPad.
- Toutouxc 3y agoBecause that's what the others are doing with their i6-12345B and it makes even less sense than three simple names anyone can memorize in two minutes.
- postalrat 3y agoNah, Apple thinks these names are perfect.
- aqme28 3y agoI think it's more comparable to GPU naming. 40XX gives me the generation, and the XX part (e.g. "4060"/"3080 Ti", etc gives me relative the performance within that group. Except instead of something informative, Apple just goes with an arbitrary word that means "the best."
