this piece would be a new category for me - how to name products, given a big brand that covers multiple products

I wish it would tag or mention the product names that a keyword originates from. I like it a lot though, mostly because I like Apple product names a lot too.

I always wonder why, out of all the mobile products, is the Apple Watch the only one not called the iWatch?

iPod, iMac, iPhone, iPad ... Apple Watch?

Feels like somewhere along the line they decided that naming all their products something with the letter 'i' was silly and dropped it.
