September is always Apple’s busiest month, and this time it shook up the Apple Watch, showed the world how the notch should be done, and left last year’s processor in the iPhone 14.<\/p>\n

\n

Apple has come a long way since Steve Jobs would name a product by picking from a list his PR firm suggested. You wouldn’t be surprised now if you learned that there was an entire division at Apple Park, dedicated to naming products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then sometimes you wonder if there is another department next door, whose job is to see what everyone thinks a product is going to be called \u2014 and change it if necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There have been Apple name changes for legal reasons, like the iTV becoming Apple TV because of the UK broadcaster of that name. And maybe the Macintosh SE\/30 would’ve sold better if it had gone by what would then have been the logical next name, SEx.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But then there was also the iWatch that turned into the Apple Watch. And there was iMusic which became iTunes at the last moment. That could’ve been worse, it could’ve been iPop-ing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And most entertainingly, there was the term Slate, which everyone was so certain Apple would call the iPad that they rushed to use the term first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In September 2022, many people were certain Apple was bringing out an iPhone 14 Max. Arguably the name it ended up with, the iPhone 14 Plus, made more sense in the lineup and from what Apple has previously named larger phones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yet the certainty about the word Max was not confined to people outside Apple. Even after it was launched, even after you could preorder the iPhone 14 Plus, it turned out that Apple’s website is replete with semi-hidden references to the iPhone 14 Max.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

attention to detail<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Never underestimate what an astonishingly huge and complex job it is to create, maintain, and update Apple’s website. Making millions of new iPhones every year must be harder, but Apple doesn’t just pull off both, it sweats the details on everything, and that’s what makes it work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Except for those website references to the wrong name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And except for bugs and inconsistencies and rather rough edges in this month’s release of iOS 16. The latest betas of macOS Ventura have odd moments where things just don’t seem as polished as usual, but at least Ventura is still in beta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New products<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Still, iOS 16 wobbles and iPhone 14 Pro Max camera shakes aside, this was still the biggest and most anticipated month of Apple’s year. In one go, Apple launched:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
