> Apple releases an iPhone model in mini, standard, and pro lines.

not an iphone user but just looked at iphone 15. Don't see any mini version. I am guess 'standard' is called just 'iphone' ? Is pro same thing as plus ?

> Still difficult?

yes your example made it even more confusing.

Now you’re being intentionally difficult. Do you want it to be cars? Last year $Automaker released $Sedan 2023 in basic, standard, and luxury trims. This year $Automaker announced $Sedan 2024 but so far have only announced the standard trim. If I had meant the iPhone 15 specifically I would’ve said iPhone 15. I think the 12 was the last mini? The point is product families are often released in generations (versions in the case of Gemini) and with different available specs (ultra/pro/nano etc) that may not all be released at the same time.

Apple discontinued mini phones two generations back, unfortunately.

I think it's the "iPhone +1 Mini is as fast as the old Standard" that confuses people here. This is obvious and expected but not how it's usually marketed I guess ...

So Google will be upgrading the version number of each model at the same time? Based on other comments here, that's not the case - some are 1.5 and some are 1?

Apple doesn't announce the iPhone 12 Mini and compare it to the iPhone 11 Pro.

Uhh, yes they do?

Did you watch the announcements for the M2 and M3 pros? They compared it to the previous generations all the time.
