Siri may be a household name now, but Steve? When Jobs first heard it, he didn't like it.
Who named it?
Is the co-founder of Siri Dege? Kateles. Katlers originally planned to name her daughter Siri after a former colleague, and even registered the domain name siri.com. But then his wife gave birth to a son and the website was shelved. But when Cutlers was ready to launch his eye-catching speech recognition technology, he re-enabled Siri. He said: "Consumer goods companies need to make product names easy to read and write."
How did the apple join?
Siri was founded in 2007. At the beginning of 20 10, they launched the iOS app in the Apple Store. The follow-up work plan is to make the software suitable for BlackBerry and Android phones. But three weeks after Cutler got a call from Jobs, things changed.
Jobs flew Kate Rice to his home in Cupertino, San Francisco. In front of the fireplace, they talked about the future of technology for three hours. Katlers said: "He talked about why Apple won, and we also talked about how Siri will develop in the future. He believes that we have grasped the direction of future development. " 20 10 in April, Apple bought Siri for 200 million yuan, which made it impossible to provide Siri applications for other mobile phone operating systems. But there is a problem. Jobs didn't like the name.
Why didn't Jobs change his name?
Cattell worked at Apple from 20 1 1 to 1, during which he tried to convince stubborn Jobs that Siri was a great name. But in the end, Apple kept the name for a more direct reason: no one could think of a better name.
the last sentence
So it's because Jobs didn't think of a better name!
