The answer to what ‘i’ stands for in iPhones was given by Steve Jobs while introducing the iMac computer in 1998. Presenting this computer, Steve Jobs said that ‘I’ means the internet. He added that we expect to be inspired by this to develop better devices in the future.
He had said on the occasion that we want to tell people that this is the computer which has internet facility. However, he also said that ‘i’ not only stands for Internet but also stands for 4 more words. These words are individual, instruct, inform, and inspire.
Steve Jobs said that we are a personal computer company and although this device is for the Internet, it can also be used for education and instruction. He added that we expect to be inspired by this to develop better devices in the future.
Apple really made better devices in the future. While introducing the first iPhone in 2007, he said that this phone would have the opportunity to use the Internet. But remember that the purpose of using ‘i’ in every device is to reassure users that they are using an Apple-manufactured device and not just using ‘i’ to access the Internet.
