I guess this way people often just think that higher number is better, even if only subconsciously, and people will more often by a newer phone. but single increments like with the generation don’t have the same effect if the numbers are already large, and if they would use the release year maybe that wouldn’t have this effect on sales because people know it’s just the year. and a change from 2024 to 2025 does not seem to be so big as from 5 to 6
Their tablet naming is at least a little more sane.
I don’t know why companies don’t just put the release year in the name. That’d be much simpler than having to keep track of device generations.
