    Always irked me. Not even apple fanboys i know could tell which is which until they know the date of release.

    You don’t intuitively know which quarter of which year which version of a different device with the same name is at a glance?

      They all have model numbers that are on the back of the device and easy to look up

        Interesting because everyone i know always went “which macbook pro is that? Q3 2018?”

        Or is the number system a new addition? Most of my apple. Experience was in uni a good while ago

          It is as old as I can remember, they are just never referred to those numbers in marketing material. Not the best way to do it but they are there.
