The lack of a numbering scheme is a royal pain in the ass when googling bugs or trying to find pretty much any information about a specific model.

Although admittedly we already have that with most of their other devices ("do i have an early 2011 MB or was it the mid-2010?") and it's not like other vendors are much better in this regard.



There is a model identifier, it's just hidden in the system profiler (Mid 2011 air is MacBookAir4,2)


I guess it helps that the iPad is on a yearly release schedule, as opposed to their Mac products.


I also think that the naming convention is gonna stick for a while.
