This is one of the cases where a car analogy is actually pretty good. Car dealers frequently have left over inventory that they sell at a discount. The difference is that Apple continues to manufacture the previous year model. I don't think this "previous model" concept is very difficult for consumers to grasp though, and it's certainly better than an arbitrary numbering scheme.

Oh, you mean the ORIGINAL new ipad..." (jerry, the apple genius, 2014) Regarding the car dealers, they rarely have more than ONE "previous generation" in stock (as far as I know...)
