We could borrow the bulk quantity diaper package names from Pampers et al, including such greats as Mega, Ultra, Ultra Mega, and Jumbo. All super computers will be reclassified as Ultra Mega Super Computers.
I'm not a big Apple guy; in fact I look at any product with a lower-case i in front of it with disdain. But...this move is pure Machiavellian business sense. While other companies are on the cusp of offering up their answer to the iPhone, Apple just threw their production pricing (& resulting profit margin) for a loop. Apple was able to reap that extra profit margin for two months, but their soon-to-be competitors, who may have been hoping for at least a 4 to 6 month stretch at the current market price, are probably stunned.
