I think it's clear Apple dropped the "i" from all new product names lol
It's Apple Watch - not iWatch, AirTags - not iTags, Apple Pencil - not iPencil, etc...
AppleMac nor iM….wait

This makes sense but I hope it isn't so.I wonder if the next gen iPod touch will go A12 with a 4.7” screen, the advantage there is that will allow apple to quickly phase out 4” screen support in a future iOS.
The latest iPod Touch 7 already uses the same CPU as iPhone 7 and has 2GB of RAM (compared to 3GB on the 7)Personally I think Apple has already closed down A8/A10 production lines and is just working their way through inventory they still have on hand with The slow selling ATV HD and iPod touch to hit lower price points.

iPhone 7 has 2GB ram, 7+ has 3GB ram.The latest iPod Touch 7 already uses the same CPU as iPhone 7 and has 2GB of RAM (compared to 3GB on the 7)
So as long as they support iOS for iPhone 7, they will most likely support it for the iPod Touch too, which has a 4" screen.

At that point, Apple could require big.LITTLE architecture support + RetinaHD screen as the line in the sand.
alpi123 clearly meant new product categories. The iMac is not a new product. All new products and services under Tim Cook have eschewed the "i" moniker in favor of "Apple" and "Air."AppleMac nor iM….wait

iPhone 7 has 2GB ram, 7+ has 3GB ram.
iPhone SE orig has an A9 chip with 4” screen.
Once A9 support is dropped, Apple will be done with any device that doesn’t support big.LITTLE architecture and I’m thinking Apple may at the same also just drop support for a 4” screen as well.
At that point, Apple could require big.LITTLE architecture support + RetinaHD screen as the line in the sand.
Then a few years after that, I’d bet the A12 would be the next line in the sand, going forward, all devices must have a third party accessible neural engine, and A11 doesn’t really count as it had a crippled neural engine.
