The meaning of actual word of iCloud

'Cloud' - now used generally, and not only by Apple, to refer to online servers where you can store your date - was dreamed up by some marketing department. It's intended to make the online concept friendly for people who wouldn't know what a server was if it crept up behind them and bit them.

Apple started sticking 'i' on the front of things as another marketing ploy - it's never been clear what it means, if anything: I'm not sure what was the first device to suffer this but I suspect it was the iPod. The early ones weren't internet-capable, so suggestions that 'i' stands for internet seem unlikely to be accurate. It's just a marketing ploy to give things these friendly names - like 'Surface' and 'Android' and so on - it's easier for people to remember than a string of numbers.

Nonsense. The Wikipedia article about Apple says:

'The name Apple was chosen because the company to beat in the technology industry at the time was Atari, and Apple Computer came before Atari alphabetically and thus also in the phone book. Another reason was that Jobs had happy memories of working on an Oregon apple farm one summer.'

Also the original Apple logo showed Isaac Newton sitting under the apple tree that popular belief credits with his discovery of gravity.

As to iCloud, which sounds like the snappier marketing name - 'iCloud' or 'Internet storage'?

"Cloud" computing means much of your data is stored in an online location.

Apple added the lower case i just as it did with dozens of other applications and devices (iPod, iPad, iTunes, etc.).
