Many Apples users around the world have been left completely baffled after finding out the meaning of 'i'. Many of us may have thought the 'i' stood for intelligence or internet as it is present in several internet-abled smart Apple devices like iMac, iPhone, iPod, iPad.

Actually the iPhone, launched in 2007, was Apple's first device with true internet access.

So internet and intelligence are out.

Those who had paid attention to Steve Jobs' iMac launch explanation in the year 1998 will have a good idea what it stands for.

The 'i' stands for five words, and not just one.

It stands for 'internet, individual, instruct, inform and inspire', according to a report by Readers Digest.

“Steve Jobs said the ‘I’ stands for ‘internet, individual, instruct, inform, [and] inspire,'” Paul Bischoff, a privacy advocate at Comparitech, was quoted as saying by the publication.

He added: "He also alluded to it referencing ‘I’ as a personal pronoun, and ‘instruction’ for education purposes.”

Jobs basically stressed that the 'i' technically 'didn't have any official meaning. It was just a 'personal pronoun' and 'instruction' for teaching the values and principles of the company to its employees and customers.
