That is hardly a good analogy. Floppies have been around for too long and had to be axed because they have by then been replaced by far superior alternatives and because their obsolescence was glaringly apparent at the time. That's a technological advancement.
BUT we're talking about rebranding here. It's got nothing to do with replacing obsolete technology. PowerBook in its use up until ca. 1995 had absolutely nothing to do with the processor used.
