The use of the Apple Pay and Apple Watch brands reflect just how
strong the Apple brand name has become over the last 10 years. The
Apple Pay and Apple Watch names are descriptive and they leverage
the full strength of the Apple brand in each of the new categories
which Apple is entering.
The brand promise which the names of Apple Pay and Apple Watch
contain is now greater i.e that would not have been possible 10 years
ago. Because the Apple brand personality is now so strong,
expectations are already set, with the products themselves having to
live up to the brand promise. Their role is to sustain the brand
promise, rather establishing it, as many of the i-products needed to.
