One need never pluralize Apple product names. Ex: Mr. Evans used two iPad Pro devices.

Really? So I have two iPhone phones, not two iPhones? Ridiculous.

1. Really! Words can be both singular and plural, such as deer and clothes
2. It would be proper to say "I have 3 Macintosh" or "I have 3 Macintosh computers"

I have been writting MDDs, DAs and G4s on my 1653 posts, so Apple and proper grammar fans, please  excuse me

This is what happens when you ask a marketing person about spelling and grammar. You get gibberish.

I mean, 'clothes' is now singular too? Really?
