    1) Exact regex — Matches major model identifier numbers based on Apple's knowledge base article (more accurate):

    ^Mac((BookPro1(6,[1-4]|[78],\d)|(1[3-6]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$
    ^Mac((BookPro1(6,[124]|[78],\d)|(1[3-6]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$

    2) Current or higher regex — Matches model identifiers based on Apple's knowledge base article and may match higher versions before this regex is updated (more future-proof).

    ^Mac((BookPro1(6,[1-4]|[7-9],\d)|(1[3-9]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$
    ^Mac((BookPro1(6,[124]|[7-9],\d)|(1[3-9]|BookAir10|mini9|Pro7),\d+))|iMac2[01],\d+$

    Current or higher regexes aren't available for some models where Apple has used the same model identifier schema for multiple models.
