Table in Model Support Status

What should we do with the table in the Model Support Status section? Stephen"Zap" (talk) 15:01, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

...keep it? I'm not sure what is being asked here. Is it a problem? GSK (talk • edits) 17:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Table "iPad models currently in production" shows wrong information about iPad Air

The table "iPad models currently in production" shows the iPad Air 5th generation as the current version and also shows it as equipped with an M2 processor (it has an M1).

I think this should be instead iPad Air (6th generation) which has the M2 Bobatsar (talk) 09:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CAN SOMEONE FIX IT because it links to ipad air with an m1 from 2022 but it’s supposed to be the ipad air 6 with m2 Haloretailstore (talk) 13:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

@Seasider53, regarding this edit: You restored a version with an inconsistent writing style, which is no improvement. You should have either used the correct writing style throughout the whole article or pointed out on the talk page that the form with hyphens is the correct one. Simply restoring a version with some correct and some incorrect forms is no improvement at all, and arguably even worse because the previous version was just wrong, whereas the current version is both wrong and inconsistent. Maxeto0910 (talk) 13:16, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, we would have adjusted to match the correct writing style with the initial edit, not to match the incorrect version, no? Seasider53 (talk) 14:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1) This is a whataboutism.

2) If a user knew that the form with a hyphen is the correct one, absolutely. Maxeto0910 (talk) 14:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to the “the first generation of iPads” and similar sentence structures? The lack of hyphens here would be correct. Not every mention of the generation will have hyphens. Seasider53 (talk) 16:33, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know; I'm referring to the instance of "[...] Apple continued to sell the older model at the same price, while the price for the newer 10th generation model was increased", which lacks a hyphen despite being needed. Maxeto0910 (talk) 17:15, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, will go through the articles again shortly. Seasider53 (talk) 20:22, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
