In addition to the cracked apple, one of the characteristic symbols giant Apple technology is the small “i” that appears in the names of various devices, such as iPhone, iMac, iPod or iPad. But what it really means this prefix?
The Independent was the response of demand and found almost as many as the number of devices launched by the company founded by Steve Jobs. But there is one that looks out to other Internet. It does not seem very original, but the story is more complex than that.
The first time the letter was made known to the world happened when the famous iMac was released in 1998. At the time, and when Internet began to come into force in people’s lives, Jobs explained that the new product is meant to satisfy “the number one use that users say they want when using a computer.” That is, the Internet. The first clue about the meaning of “i” was given. But it does not end here. This is because, and as the British newspaper, during the presentation ceremony of the computer, Steve Jobs was more a host of other features – individuality, instruct, inform and inspire. What is common to them all? Beginning with the letter i.
In other words, the meanings of the prefix are multiple. But the symbolic importance of the letter may be losing influence. Not least because the latest products launched by Apple no longer had the letter ‘i’ in the beginning of the name. Examples of this are the Apple TV and the Apple Watch.
