Despite its unprecedented success, Apple (AAPL)still has some underplayed initiatives that could drive the company to further growth, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Wednesday.

One is Apple Pay, Cramer said on “ Squawk on the Street .”

“They’re rolling it in all the retailers,” he said. “If you’re going to have a register, you’re going to [need] Apple Pay.” Apple Pay will hit retailers in April.

Cramer spoke a day after Apple became the first company in history to close a trading session with a market cap above $700 billion. The stock rose about 1.7 percent Wednesday morning. (Click here(AAPL) for the latest price.)

If your blood pressure spikes, your doctor is immediately on the phone with you.”
