They pretty much still only have a "Good -> Better -> Best" ladder for the majority of their products, with a handful of "niche" offerings sprinkled in. Complexity hasn't increased much from those days, they added one extra column and row

iPhone: iPhone 17e -> iPhone 17 -> iPhone 17 Pro (Niche: iPhone Air)

iPad: iPad -> iPad Air - > iPad Pro (Niche: iPad Mini)

Mac Laptop: Macbook Neo -> Macbook Air -> Macbook Pro

Mac Desktop: Mac Mini -> iMac -> Mac Studio

They have product with different screen sizes, but those are really just configuration options on the base product in that tier, now. Compare that to offerings from Samsung or Dell and you can see it could be much, much more complicated.
