Most apple products start with I, why don't other companies' products start with I?

Almost all Apple products begin with the word "I", such as iMac, iphone, ipad, ipod, iTouch, icloud, iBook, iTunes, iTV and so on. Of course, Apple also built the world's greatest company and the world's largest company by market value. However, let's go back and think about it. Why do all Apple products start with the word "I"? Why does Apple prefer the prefix "I"? I think it all starts with Steve Jobs, the soul of Apple and its founder.

The historical background is like this. 1997 When Jobs returned to Apple, it was the moment when the Internet flourished. Internet was the hottest concept at that time, but the hottest letters at that time were not I but E, such as Yi Bei, eTrade, etoys ... This is the most common naming method.

Jobs's first product: a computer with a wonderful (jelly-like) shell and networking as its core selling point (there was a hot word NC at that time), with few hardware upgrades and no unique software. What should be called the increasingly stale temperament beyond Macintosh? At that time, Jobs named her iMac Internet Mac, which means Apple Macintosh computer that connects the Internet and the world. Jobs hoped that the Internet would bring new life to old Apple computers.

In addition, Jobs is an interim CEO. What is the abbreviation? iCEO .

This is the birth of an apple prefix.

In fact, in 2002, Apple also launched eMac, which was aimed at the e for education market, but it did not continue this product line.

In terms of property rights, Apple also enjoys the right to register electronic products beginning with I.
