With the launch of the first iPhone in 2007, Apple made everyone wonder why the company logo was an apple. But now, everyone is asking about the reason behind the ‘I’ in iPhone.
While many social media users had some interesting guesses, the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs revealed what the ‘I’ means in 1998. According to Reader’s Digest, Steve Jobs explained that the ‘I’ stands for “internet, individual, instruct, inform, and inspire.”
However, he added that this letter “didn’t have an official meaning,” suggesting it could also refer to ‘I’ as a personal pronoun or “instruction” for teaching Apple employees.
“I thought it meant ‘for myself,'” said one internet user, while another thought it meant “smart.” “I thought it was because of iOS,” analyzed a third. “That’s what I was wondering last night when I was trying to sleep,” joked another.
