And one with little thought behind it. 🙂
That's the beauty of it. You take the question just as seriously as it deserves.
I try, I try.
but apple did not announce officaly if "i" stand for "internet"
maybe another word such " intelligence" ?
I myself am 18 now and have been around apple products: ipod, imac, iphone etc, ever since I was 8. and honestly for the last 10 years I thought the "i" stood for interactive. It makes since, "interactive phone" , "interactive macintosh" ' "interactive portable audio device" (I know a is not in ipod but i dont know what the o stands for) I may be right but im probably not im just throwing my oppinion out there.
Correct. In fact, his name was as I indicated - no period after the "S."
I can go further and add that "GE" does not stand for "General Electric." It did at one time but that was changed some time in the eighties.
Are you kidding me? I already posted what the 'i' stood for. Steve showed it in a slide when he first introduced the first iProduct, the iMac. The 'i' stood for five words.
internet
individual
instruct
inform
inspire
Are you kidding ME? Those are terms INCLUDED in the meaning, but are not the finite answer.
Apple will continue to make better products in the future, so the ones we have at any given point in time are just "interim" products. That's why when you buy an iPad 2 in March of 2012, it's just an interim solution and will be obsolete when the next generation iPad is out in November.
The word "Internet" is a noun. because the Internet is a thing, therefore, it needs to have a capital 'I'. So, the meaning of the 'i' isn't really 'internet', because the 'I' would have to be a capital each time. also, a certain Steve Jobs, (I think) who named the iPod, was reminded of the movie ' 2001: Space Odyssey' or something, which has the phrase: "Open the Pod Bay doors". You can go ahead and ask Siri that phrase. "Open the Pod Bay Doors" or "Do you know HAL-9000?". And yes, they are pretty cool easter eggs.
The "i" in front of Apple products such as iMac, iPod, and iPhone is in deference to Sir Jonathan Ive, Senior Vice President of Design at Apple. Sir Ive has been leading design at Apple since 1996. It is a bit of an inside joke at Apple.
Well according to Ken Segall the man who proclaims to have named the iMac, the first product with the "i" attached to the name, the "i" stands for internet. But in a more personal sense I agree with Bernieb2812, because in an interview, Ken himself says, in his first sight of the iMac (which was disgned by Sir Jonathan Ive), "We were guarded. We were being polite, but we were really thinking, Jesus do they know what they are doing? it was so radical." Now by my experience (currently in college, about to major in busines administration) every great product has a subliminal message... with that said they would have had to come up with an excuse for such name, and what better concordance with the "Think Different Campaign" than "its stands for internet, because it makes the connecting to the internet process easier, no third step". And of course later Steve Jobs would say it stands for individual, instruct, inform, and inspire, all to top off the "Think Different Campaign".
"i" stands for "intuitive". I watched the movie Jobs and this was the word that sprung out. Steve Jobs wanted Apple's products all to be intuitive. The products needed to be ready to do things the consumer hadn't thought of doing yet. That's what makes the ipod, ipad, iphone and Macs so beautifully and awesome.
Thanx Steve Jobs

According to the biography of Steve Jobs: mid-page 338 uses 'Internet' and 'integration' intertagably when describing the 'i' in 'i'-apple anything.
I would conclude it is mainly an integration... of the Internet and everything 'intuitive' about the devices.
Why isn't there a secure answer to this yet?
Ken says that the "i" stands for "Internet",[6] but also represents the product as a personal and revolutionary device ('i' for "individuality" and "innovation").

No, it stands for "I think it would be really funny if I can make people keep guessing long after I'm dead".
