Give credit to Apple here, they’re one of the only brands with sensible product names. “Apple Studio Display” “iPhone 16” etc.

I wish more brands did this.

Shoutout to PlayStation too, but not the rest of Sony 😂

Wouldn't work for monitors. If Apple puts out one monitor into each product line every 2-3 years, Dell for example could have 3-4 different 27s out every year - there could be a 1080p, a 1440p and a 2160p that all share the same physical size and release year.

I’m sure there’s something to be done about the naming scheme even for Dell, though, so it’s a little easier to distinguish the products.

I think it's mostly fine - the first letter signifies the product line/sub-brand (e.g. U for Ultrasharp, AW for Alienware), then two digits mean the diagonal in inches, then another two digits are the release year; it's only the letters after that are not entirely obvious.
