#2Sure I agree they’re a bit confusing, but the iPhone is arguably the single most recognized product name on this planet. Totally lost me with the shift from iPhone to Apple Phone.

#3I mean you are not wrong, but some things just grow this way historically. It is not an easy decision to rebrand strong brands (like iPhone) to a more generic but better naming scheme.

#4Apple Pad sounds like something they would use in an orchard. What is wrong with iPad?

Yes iPhone and iPad are far too well established to drop the "i". The rest of the list isn't too bad but I also don't think it's a lot more clear either.

#8I don’t really see an issue with the product naming at all: just look at other companies… often you have NO clear indication that it’s recent or older.
iPhone 16 everyone knows this, and anticipates the next iPhone (presumably 17).

I’ve seen the Apple Phone suggestion a few times. It’s kind of silly.
These kind of naming/marketing convention reviews are important to conduct when a change is needed. Nothing in this regards needs to be changed with the iPhone. The whole company doesn’t have to align around i this or that, or no i, until a change is needed. Why they didn’t call it iSilicon.
