Spanish term or phrase: ha sobrepasado las funciones iniciales
The term appears in this context:

"Hoy en día las marcas ofrecen al consumidor una experiencia que ha sobrepasado las funciones iniciales que tenían los productos anteriormente."

For the moment I see it this way:

"Today brands offer consumers an experience that exceeds the initial functions products had before."

goes beyond the original uses


Explanation:
perhaps the whole text could be translated "goes beyond the products' originally intended use" or perhaps "takes them beyond ...." where THEM is the consumers.
