What does the "i" in Apple products stand for?

What's the "i" in iPod, iPhone, iMac stand for?

  • ..iMovie, iPhoto etc. What does the "i" stand for on Apple products? Where does it come from?

  • Answer:

    Oh i know this one, back when the imac was released, the i represented Internet, because it was so easy to go on-line with the products. But as time has passed, the i has been incorporated into all their products.

I saw a suppressed interview with Steve Jobs where he claimed the I stood for idiot, as that is what the sheep who fall prey to his marketing are.

"Internet" Portable Open Database. Image Processor for Optical Data (NASA) Interface Protocol Option Devices International Patent Organism Depositary Internet Pod (Apple) The rumor is that Job calls it the Idiot POD.

I think the "i" refers to I (myself) as in "I browse the net", thus "I have my own personal Pod" goes iPod and "I have my own personalized Mac" goes iMac. It's like saying the computer is made for "I" (me).

Its all about the Human Eye, It means its was designed buy the Human Eye. Well thats what I was told. Probably aload of rubbish.

probably 'internet' or to at least associate it with that. Kind of like when everything started out with 'e' in front of it for 'electronic'.
