I don't capitalize mac and I regularly use definite and indefinite articles to describe the iPhone.

Sometimes I even call them MacBook Pros.

naturally, mac isn't an acronym, it's just shortened. I would have to ask the GP if they write steve in place of Stephen or cat in place of Catherine. A name is a name; use a cap.

My nick (sneak) is a proper noun and is never capitalized.
