Simplify Apple Chips And New Devices

I wonder if Apple Silicon chips and devices should be simplified with high end A-Series chips for iPads and iPadOS, and new fanless MacBook chips and MacBookOS targeted more appropriately at fanless laptops and other powerful fanless devices of the future.

Chips

  • A-Series Reg/Pro (Fanless) - iPhones including Pro (Mobiles/Clamshells/iOS)
  • A-Series Pro/Max (Fanless) - iPads including Pro (Tablets/Notebooks/iPadOS)
  • B-Series Reg/Pro/Max (Fanless) - MacBooks and Pro (Laptops/Laplets/MacBookOS)
  • M-Series Reg/Pro/Max (With Fans) - Macs and Pro (Desktops/Laptops/MacOS)

Devices

  • A-Series Reg/Pro - iPhone Mini/Air, iPhone Pro/Ultra, iPod, HomePad (Smart Display)
  • A-Series Pro/Max - iPad Mini/Air, iPad Pro/Ultra, iBook, Apple Display (Smart Monitor)
  • B-Series Reg/Pro/Max - MacBook Mini/Air, Apple Vision Air, MacPad, iPed (Console)
  • M-Series Reg/Pro/Max - MacBook Pro/Ultra, Mac Mini/Studio, iMac, Apple TV (Smart TV)

New

  • iPod - Foldable iPhone with two separate screens like a clamshell phone (iPhone Pod?)
  • iBook - Foldable iPad with two separate screens like a reading book (iPad Book?)
  • MacBook Mini/Air - New design with no fans, touchscreen, thin, and new MacBookOS

MacBook Air Smaller Sizes Guess

I wonder if Apple might release a redesigned MacBook Air in two new 12" and 14" sizes that are even thinner, lighter, and smaller, and which may not have a tandem OLED screen like the iPad Pro.

What

  • M4? - Redesigned - 12" and 14" - $1199/$1399?
  • M2? - Discounted - 13" and 15" - $799/$999?
  • M3? - Discontinued

Why

  • Make next MacBook Air thin, light, and small
  • Offer cheaper old MacBook Air for education
  • Keep MacBook Air somewhat lower priced
  • Leave tandem OLED for MacBook Pro first
