Apple unofficially dropped the iNaming structure from its newest products on Tuesday — unveiling Apple Pay and Apple Watch (not "iPay" or "iWatch"). Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke with ABC's David Muir following the company's epic two-hour presentation to talk about the company's latest line of products, and in that interview, he called the new Apple Watch "iWatch."

The slip happened as Cook was describing how Apple's new iPhones and Watch will be made out of 22 out of the 50 United States. The Verge spotted the mistake, which occurs right at the end of this one-minute video clip, embedded here.
