How to Brand a Next-Generation Product

Why Apple decided to name the newest iPad "the new iPad" instead of "iPad 3."

  • "Consumers don't necessarily read specs to learn about new features, but they'll always notice a new name."

Brand name continuation vs. name change

  • "The perception is that if it's a brand name continuation, it'll be somewhat better than the previous model, but it won't be buggy and there won't be a learning curve."

Risk vs. reward

  • "In the Rocky series, you expect Rocky II to play off Rocky."
