Almost 20 years after the release of the first iPhone, Apple customers are still wondering what exactly the 'i' even stands for.

For a long time, all of Apple's products were branded with the letter 'i.' Whether it be the iPod, the iPhone, the iMac, or the iPad, it became an iconic symbol for the company.

Naturally, with so many 'i' products in their inventory, people began to have their own theories.

Users on social media assumed that the famous character referred to the internet, immaculate or even immediate.

Others thought that it just referred to the pronoun 'I,' as in the user themselves.

There's also speculation that it means intelligence, information or even is a reference to the device's software 'iOS'.

One person even posted on X that they thought it meant 'individual', as in 'individual phone'.

The late Steve Jobs, Apple's founder and the creator of the iPhone, actually revealed the meaning behind the 'i' before his passing in 2011.

According to Reader's Digest, with Apple's first 'i' product, the iMac, the letter did in fact signify the internet. The computer, which was released in 1998, had unheard of internet technology at the time.

So, Jobs and Apple decided to highlight their innovation in the name.

But since then, Jobs gave other meanings to the moniker. Sure, all of his products had radical internet capabilities, but soon other companies began to catch up.
