Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

They're also not perfect:
I believe the Apple pencil pro > Apple pencil (USB-c) > Apple pencil (2th gen) > Apple pencil, but it's very unclear IMO.
Talk about "bone apple teeth" ๐
Say it with a lisp. Seconth.
Except for the M series ultra and max chips, I can never remember which is the higher spec
Even Apple isn't great with that. They often have different models for earlier and later in the year, various variants of each size, and little distinguishing features other than model number- same as those monitors.
It just isn't as visible on their products as much, because they at least try to make it more simple for consumers.but monitors often have model line, size, and resolution short hand to differentiate as well.
It's easier because they decided to not have any variation in their dull products. Pro, max, turbo, and superextra suffixes cover all the differences in a year's product portfolio.

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 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.
