Not to me. Just to list the current models: Tablets: iPad Mini 3, iPad Air 2. Phones: iPhone 6, iPhone 6+. Desktops: Mac Mini, iMac, Mac Pro. Portables: Mac

  Your listing is simplified compared to the actual lineup * The non-air iPad Retina and non-retina Mini are still part of the lineup * the 5S and 5C are still part of the lineup * the iMac exists in 21 and 27" * the rMBP exists in 13 and 15" * the MBA exists in 11 and 13" * the 13" MBP still exists

    He said "current" models, not all existing models. I understood current as "latest."
    • masklinn 12y ago
      1. these are all current models, they're currently produced and sold on the store. In fact the list is still incomplete since it's missing 3 different iPods (Touch, Nano and Shuffle) 2. Even if you understand "current" as "latest" (which is most definitely a non-standard definition) that removes the old MBP, the 5's and the leftover ipads, the ipods and various screen sizes of macs remain.

      Current is most definitely != latest. Current means any model that is still in production and being sold, although admittedly for some manufacturers those two things don't usually align, Apple has a tendency to remove models immediately from the line up when they cease production.

        While that is true, you clearly understood I was talking about the line of latest products. Even when you look at others, all you add is the older Mini, older iPad, and a few variations on the portables and desktops. It's still a very small suite of products compared to any other comparable manufacturer. It's pretty much one item in each category, with in0line variations on size/capacity.

    Yes, they sell a generation of older products, non retina iPad and mini, as well as the 5C and S. That makes a total of 4 iPads and 4 phones, not counting storage/color variations. a 21 and 27 inch iMac are still both iMacs, and that's just a size variant, not a whole different product. Same for the MBA and MBP, those are simply size/feature differences, not entirely different products. Would you also then break out each and every storage/ram/cpu combination on the MBA and MBP lines? I doubt it. It's still a fraction of what other makers produce.

      > a 21 and 27 inch iMac are still both iMacs The 6 and 6+ are still both iPhone 6s, the only difference beside size is extremely minor (optical stabilization), not entirely different products. > Same for the MBA and MBP, those are simply size/feature differences, not entirely different products. See above. > Would you also then break out each and every storage/ram/cpu combination on the MBA and MBP lines? I doubt it. It's still a fraction of what other makers produce. That's swapping out parts obtained from third parties (hence BTO), different display sizes lead to difference in effective uses, and require very different internal chassis.

  "I have a Mini that runs windows" Dang. We can't be friends.

    It dual boots, but I do most stuff in Windows or in a terminal to a few linux boxes.

      I was just trolling. We're cool.
