Interestingly, the newly released Apple's watch is named as "Apple Watch" rather than the using its usual "i" as used in its previous tech products.
As mentioned in one of the articles of entrepreneur.com , the "i" sub-brand naming convention has been around for almost 20 years and includes countless extensions, including: iMac, iLife (includes iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iWeb), iTunes, iPod, iPhone, iPad, iCloud, iOS, iWork and iBooks.
It’s possible that Apple wanted to call its payment system iWallet instead of Apple Pay, but as it turns out there’s already another company out there called iWallet – a biometric locking wallet that “protects your cash, credit cards, and personal information with cutting edge technology.”
If Apple had gone with iWatch, it probably wouldn’t have had any problems with search engine suggestions, but then again, it’s entirely possible that Google’s search algorithm might have asked “Did you mean iSwatch?” when people went searching for their new, beloved iWatch.
These are just the possibilities that the Apple Officials might have gone through.
As by looking on the products of Google, we can see the word of "Google" in almost all its products like Google Ad-words, Google Maps, Google Images... etc. This might have inspired Apple to include the company's word in its next tech products.
Well, these all are our thinking. Now, let us have a look over this recently launched Apple Watch:
Look and screen:
The screen is bright and crisp, and looked at from the kind of glancing angles you’d expect to look at a watch screen from – edge-on while riding a bike or balancing in a crowded train – words and pictures remained nicely readable.
Revolutionary advancements:
As with the iPhone, the Apple Watch has a hulking great advantage in the apps department, something that was obvious from its unveling: where Google tends to talk about the amazing potential of Android Wear, Apple talks about big brands that are already signed up and making apps for its platform – apps to find your car, let you into your hotel room, control your smart heating or track and share your exercise, not to mention shopping with Apple Pay.
