It's simple.

You have the iPhone, and then you have the iPhone Plus, which is larger. Unless it's the iPhone XS or newer, in which case the larger size is called Max, perhaps to avoid confusion with their subscription services. Unless it's the iPhone 14 non-Pro, in which case the larger size is called Plus again.

Likewise, the AirPods Max are larger than the AirPods Pro. They're also a completely different product, but they're also larger!

Then there's the M1. The high-end version of that is the M1 Pro. But there's a higher-end version of that called the M1 Max. Which is the maximum. Except it's not, because there's also the M1 Ultra.

You can get the Mac mini with the M2 Pro and the MacBook Pro with the M2 Max, and you can get the MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro, but you cannot get the Mac mini with the M2 Max, because obviously not.

Like I said, simple.
