What other large brand has a simpler lineup? Samsung released 22 phones just in 2024 with memorable names like C55 and M05.
Although I wouldn't mind if they got rid of one or two iPhone variants, or at least gave them more meaningful names. I have no idea what the difference between Plus, Pro and Max is. I only know that Pro doesn't mean pro, and that doesn't make it any easier.
Edit: also Steve Jobs was still alive when you could choose between four different iPod variants.
Google Pixel has one Tablet.
Within the first year of release there was also just one iPhone and one iPad.
Meanwhile there are 4 variants of the Pixel 9. So clearly Google shows the same trend over time.
