The Previous AfD several years ago closed to no consensus, but I think the main systemic problem remains. This runs afoul of WP:NOTCATALOG, focused on comparing Apple's entire lineup in a way sources don't (do sources exist talking about "which iPhone I should get"? Absolutely. Do they either do it with this level of detail? I don't see the source-based evidence for that.) The listings also include stuff like pricing info that absolutely make it read as sales rather than encyclopedia. This is also information that's also unnecessarily duplicated from individual lines, where the comparisons make much more sense; to quote Czar in the previous AfD, "The difference between each refresh of a product fits within the scope of each product's individual article." That basically nothing is directly and clearly cited is the cherry on top. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 19:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Any technology article that discusses "current" anything (let alone have it in the title), usually gets out-dated due to technology changing so fast. If not, it becomes a place where fans promote the products. Just go to the company web site to get the current information. Encyclopedia articles are indeed not a product guide.

Delete article concept by design leans on recentism. What is "current"? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:34, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In addition to the cogent arguments above, the temporal aspect of the Macintosh product line is better handled in Timeline of Macintosh models. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 03:20, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
