# Talk:IMac (Apple silicon)

What do people think of this move from iMac (Apple silicon) to iMac M1? I think any split from the main article (iMac) to a "sub-family of products" can only happen if it's well-supported by sources, which wasn't the case for these recent splits.
The issue we faced during the Intel days, is that neither Apple nor secondary sources ever cared about the generation of Intel chips inside these Macs. We could have "iMac G3" as its own article, but there are no obvious names for articles about individual Intel models. But that's now solved with Apple silicon! Apple and secondary sources all clearly refer to "iMac M1". I think for consistency's sake, just like with iMac G3, iMac G4 and so on, we can have iMac M1, iMac M2 and so on.

I recommend a more hierarchical approach where there would be a general article about all the Apple silicon iMac’s (of which there is currently only one type - iMac M1).  This general article would have links to articles for specific types of iMac’s, for example, the iMac M1. Will.octagon.gibson (talk) 21:21, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
How about a Mac computers with Apple silicon page, listing them all, along with introduction dates and so on? I'm concerned that if we had iMac, iMac (Apple silicon) and iMac M1, there would be quite a bit of redundancy as people would try to copy-paste prose between all articles, which would be hard to maintain.

🤨 Will we just put every Apple Silicon revision in a different page no matter how minor it is? QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 23:38, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Only the notable ones; the non-notable revisions can just go in the main article (iMac). Seems to be the best way to avoid basing page scopes on arbitrary groupings of models, recently discussed here and here (you've seen these; just linking for the sake of others coming across this).
