I can't get over how Apple is getting everyone to refer to them with proper pluralization, ie AirPods 5 vs AirPod 5's.

My lone claim to fame, now harder to track down because Twitter decided my lack of activity was somehow suspicious and killed my account, was a brief exchange with Phil Schiller about pluralization of Apple devices.

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

I would never have considered 5's. Are you implying the five is in possession of something?

		I'm saying that many people do it wrong in other cases, and stick an 's' on the end (or worse, also add an apostrophe). Like surgeon generals, attorney generals, court martials, etc. I'm impressed that people aren't doing it in the case of airpods.

The first version was "Apple AirPods", there's two of them so it makes sense.
