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

almost all of apple's products begin with the word "I", such as iMac, iphone, ipad, ipod, iTouch, icloud, iBook, iTunes, iTV, etc. Of course, Apple has also built the greatest company in the world and the company with the largest market value in the world with this word. However, let's go back and think about it. Why do all Apple products start with the word "I"? Why does Apple favor the prefix "I"? I think all this has to start with Steve Jobs, the soul of Apple and the founder of Apple.

The historical background is like this. In 1997, when Steve Jobs came back to Apple, it was the moment when the Internet was booming. The Internet was the hottest concept at that time, but the hottest letters at that time were not I but E, such as eBay, eTrade, etoys ... This was the most common way to name.

Steve Jobs' 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 little hardware upgrade and no unique software. What should it be called to surpass the increasingly stale temperament of Macintosh? At that time, Jobs named her iMac, Internet Mac, which means Apple Macintosh computer that links the Internet and connects the world. Jobs hoped that the Internet would bring new life to the stale Apple computer.

In addition, Jobs was interim CEO at that time. What is the abbreviation? iCEO。

This is the birth of a prefix of Apple.

In fact, in 22, Apple also launched eMac, which was aimed at the education market (e for education), but it did not continue this product line.

in terms of property rights, apple also enjoys the right to register electronic products that begin with the word I.
