I apologize for being pedantic here, but we're nowhere near Performa-level confusion. There were 70 distinct models of Macintosh Performa between 1992 and 1997

I apologize for being pedantic here, but we're nowhere near Performa-level confusion. There were 70 distinct models of Macintosh Performa between 1992 and 1997 when the last Performa was shipped. What is the difference between the Performa 635, 636, 637, and 638... SKUs, I guess? There was a model of Performa that sold for literally 2 weeks (the Performa 410). Apple sold the same series of computer under different names: The Performa 630, LC 630, and Quadra 630 are all the same machine. I agree that Apple has a real naming problem (is this an X as in 'ex' or X as in '10'?) but I really don't find the iPad line up to be that confusing. There are 2 sizes of iPad Pro, 2 sizes of iPad Air, an iPad and an iPad mini.

There have been 18 iPad models in the past 5 years. And now there are 4 more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#Timeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#Timeline Granted, it's not 70, but 22 is quite a number. The difference between many of them is about the same as between 635, 636, 637, and 638 And who exactly is iPad aimed at? Or can you tell me without looking into specs what exactly is the difference between iPad Pro and iPad Air? Or even looking at the specs: https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/ https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/ Apart from the CPU bump they are so similar that you can't help but to think that they didn't include Thunderbolt in regular iPad just to have something to differentiate them. Funnily enough, Air weighs more and is thicker than the Pro. A great sign of company completely losing all sight of their product lines. You don't need 6 iPads. You need 3: iPad Mini, iPad Mid, iPad Max. Name them however you want to name them.
