I was editing a Mac related question, and noticed we had a , , and tags.

Do we really need all these tags for Apple products? I'm not sure anything needs to be done about this, but I want to know what other people think.

Are Apple products that different?

    I disagree. Most Apple hardware has the same type of CPU, Graphics and Network Controller. I only see two graphics cards between all models of the Macbook Pro, Mac Mini and Macbook Air. They also each have a Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor.

I recommend we make and synonyms of .

is sufficiently different as to warrant its own separate tag, at least going by the tags we've allowed to exist long-term for other manufacturers.

Of course, is totally different from the above, though we might want another question to discuss if and should really be different tags.

  • Actually, since the Macbook has been discontinued, I think we should make them all synonyms macbookpro.

  • @Seth Also, there's no telling what the next MacBook will be called. I recommend against progressively changing a tag every time what models are available changes.

    lol, of course! Also, about the ipad and ipod, the iPad and iPod are very different devices and each deserve there own tag, though I wouldn't support an "iPod Touch" tag.
