Doesn't the title need a tweak--"walkie-walkie" and "iWatch"?

  I'm used to call it iWatch sometimes, I don't know why but it doesn't sound weird to me. Walkie-walkie on the other hand...

    Because iPod, iPhone, iMac and iPad set a precedent.

      Everything apple made used to be prefixed with ‘i’, but they’ve since started changing.

        What else have they changed? Nothing that’s focused right? the HomePod is there. Not sure if there’s anything else. I don’t consider AirTags or Apple Pencil not being ipencil to be ones since they are small products or ancillary like the Pencil. I guess even just the iWatch and iPod (lol) vs Apple Watch and HomePod are two huge changes from the historical norm. Though Mac computers have almost never stuck to the convention. The iBook [and iMac] came out before the dot com bubble and the former was effectively dead by the time I was looking to get an Apple laptop in 2005, 2006. Before iPhone, iPad. iMac is only computer sticking to the convention. It seems Apple didn’t stick to this naming convention as much as it is being made out to be.
