Oh, two deer animals—Phil Schiller’s pluralization insanity!

Do you have two iPhones or two iPhone devices? Two iPads or two iPad devices?

Two iMacs or two iMac computers? Two MacMinis or two MacMini bricks?

I do have two telephone devices at home. And I have two eye and two ear and two feet (and my nose runs and my feet smell).

MPG is going to keep saying “two iPhones, two iPads, two iPad Pros, two Macs, etc”.

In my house we have 3 iPads, 3 iPhones, 2 Mac Minis and 1 MacBook pro.

I agree with you and it’s stupid for Schiller to try and teach improper grammar. Hasn't education been dumbed down enough?

My 2 cents,
Mike

Think different[ly]. MPG thanks Mike for his two cent pieces. My three daughter persons don’t care either way.

Regarding Schiller’s pluarlization — he’s stuck with trademark preservation requirements. As a long-time copywriter, I’ve been driven crazy by this legal demand for awkwardness.
