Reflecting on the future of Apple after the "new" iPad: no more "generations"?

After a couple of days in the surf of the new iPhone is perhaps time to reflect on the consequences it can have on the future of this company (do not forget, the world's largest by market capitalization, and capable of stratospheric towers tickets .) If the day on which the new generation of Apple's tablet and here in Gizmodo we wondered if in the future more or less close to the company was changing the logo as a symbol of change / renewal, now trying to uncover whether this development will also reach the very name of their products.

The flagship of the presentation last Wednesday is simply called iPad.

If we stick literally to the nomenclature used Apple, "the new" iPad. A name of which we are accustomed, using words of Troy McClure, as on previous occasions ... and here enter the name of your favorite device manzanica bit.

When a new version of all equipment (with one exception that we discuss below) is always advertised (and thus appears for a time in the company's own website) as "new."

We iMac, MacBook, iPod, AppleTV ... and now iPad. In fact even though it is commonly known (even the brand itself refers to it as well) as iPad2 any that has this device and you turn around you will see that what you put behind it ... iPad. A dry.

The generational added to the name or nomenclature of a device from the iPhone, the revolutionary smartphone introduced in 2007.The second generation, a year later, called iPhone 3G because it allowed the connection to that network. The next device, released the following year, he reached the name until iPhone3GS with the addition of a letter that symbolized the highest speed (speed, in English) because of improvements in processor and memory.

Subsequent generations were called iPhone4 and the last to appear iPhone4S without, in fact, the addition of 4 obeys a specific reason because although there is a type of data network called 4G both terminals do not use it.

Moreover, the name of the terminal can also be increased from 3 to 4 due to the external appearance thereof, which varies in the last two.

But in light of the way in which Apple has called the new iPad discarding the names that we used usually to refer to it could reach a conclusion that would be related to a change in the philosophy of the company in terms of name now receive their devices.

If the tablet unveiled on Wednesday is neither iPad3 (to continue the saga of iPhone - iPad2) or iPadHD (due to screen high-resolution Retinal Display) but is simply "the new iPad" ... it is quite possible that Apple plans to be put added the stop to the name of their mobile devices as is the case with the rest of their products and if these tablets that are extracting presented simply as "the new iPad" the same can be predicated for future releases of its smartphones.

Happen then something identical to what happens now when "the new MacBook" or "new iMac" or, as we had occasion to check on Wednesday, "the new AppleTV."

Because it presented "the new iPad" but also "the new AppleTV" was neither 2 nor AppleTV3 AppleTV (since we are already the third generation of the device), not even the AppleTVHD, deploying and 1080p resolution.

The conclusion would be that this summer will not know the iPhone5.Know "the new iPhone."

And as has now happened with the iPad2, which will continue being known well to the second generation of the device when the new iPhone appears iPhone4S will remain for sale as entry model, priced $ 100 lower and coexist while there is surplus available for sale .

Tim Cook was not easy to replace the charismatic Steve Jobs but I could be showing he has the record straight and is capable of making decisions of great depth that Apple remains a company with something to say in the sector.
