"Apple Launches New iPad in China on July 20th"

"Apple Launches New iPad in China on July 20th", post.

Aha, here we have a clear example of how poor product naming creates confusion. The third generation is no longer new in the West, so when I saw "new iPad", naturally I rushed to read it, thinking the iPad model being lauched was, well... new! But it's just the old iPad 3. In five years, will the iPad three still be called "The New iPad"?

Probably it will be called iPad (third generation) or iPad (originally released March 2012). That's how Apple does it with iPod and iMac.
