The symbol i stands for "imaginary unit" and it is extensively used in mathematics, specifically complex analysis. The number z=x+iy is thus a complex number being composed of a real part x and an imaginary part y.

In this context, thus, iPhone is a purely imaginary entity (a product in our context) whose imaginary part is "Phone". The same goes to other apple products.
