iPhone开头的“i”代表什么意思？
<p><span word="iPhone">iPhone</span>可以说是这个世界上最成功的商品了。</p><p>如果你稍微观察一下苹果的产品体系，发现都是用字母“<span word="i">i</span>”来开头的，比如<span word="iMac">iMac</span>, <span word="iWatch">iWatch</span>, <span word="iPod">iPod</span>, <span word="iPad">iPad</span>, <span word="iTV">iTV</span>…苹果硬生生把字母“<span word="i">i</span>”做成了世界上最著名的单词前缀。</p><p>但很少人像我一样刨根问底，去研究为什么前面加的是字母“<span word="i">i</span>”，而不是“<span word="x">x</span>”、“<span word="y">y</span>”、“<span word="z">z</span>”等其它字母？</p><p>其实对付我这样的“<span word="question">question</span> <span word="boy">boy</span>”，最好的办法就是网上搜索，因为人类能想到的任何问题，答案都有了，都在网上。</p><p>今天闲来无事，就把这个冷知识分享给大家。</p><p>我搜到了苹果官网的果粉社区，还真有像我这么无聊的人，这个问题早已被问过：</p><p>我们来看置顶的回答：</p><p>我来 早在苹果公司发布第一台电脑时，已经宣布字母<span word="i">i</span>代表<span word="internet">internet</span>，在那个时候，电脑很难连到互联网，而苹果的<span word="iMac">iMac</span>电脑被认为很容易实现。</p><p>图中“<span word="there">there</span>’<span word="s">s</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="step">step</span> 3（没有第三步）”，是苹果发布第一款<span word="iMac">iMac</span>时广告里的说法，表示“联网很容易，两步就够了”。</p><p>但是我感觉这样的回答还是不够全面。于是，热爱死磕的我又继续搜索，直到搜到乔布斯在1998年发布<span word="iMac">iMac</span>时的珍贵录影资料，才把字母“<span word="i">i</span>”的含义全部弄清楚了。</p><p>原文摘录：</p><p>“<span word="iMac">iMac</span> <span word="comes">comes</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="marriage">marriage</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="excitement">excitement</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Internet">Internet</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="simplicity">simplicity</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Macintosh">Macintosh</span>. <span word="We">We</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="hoping">hoping</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="customers">customers</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Internet">Internet</span> <span word="simply">simply</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="fast">fast</span>.”</p>
