I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did Apple begin phasing out Macintosh in favor of "Mac"?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Since 1998, Apple has largely phased out the Macintosh name in favor of "Mac", though the product family has been nicknamed "Mac" or "the Mac" since the development of the first model.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
