    Apple has had a long history considering the company was founded in 1976. And over that period, we’ve seen changes in their product designs, but most people haven’t noticed the subtle change in how Apple names their products. If you were an Apple fan in the early 2000’s, you might’ve used an iMac, iBook, or iPod. But Apple fans today might be using an Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Apple pencil. And although there are still products from what I call the ‘i’ era, like the iPhone and iPad, it’s worth exploring how Apple’s product name strategy has changed over the last two decades, and learn why those changes was made.

    "iPhone" is just WAY too iconic that I hardly doubt that it will ever change. People always know what an "iPhone" is and that its made by Apple. "Apple Phone" would be kinda confusing and it sounds stupid ^^

      Agreed. I think they remove it for certain products. iTV sounds like it could be anything that has that abbreviation and iWatch sounds creepy. I hope that they call their smart glasses that will come in almost all frames and styles iGlass. But maybe that will be their last product with the "i". Apple Glass would sound terrible

  • @nervousgreg
    @nervousgreg 4 роки тому +4

    One thing I love about Apple's product names is how the names become so iconic, they almost become synonymous with whatever product line you're talking about. Back when the iPod was popular, I remember kids at school would call pretty much any MP3 player an iPod, because it rolled off the tongue a lot quicker than "MP3 Player", and people knew what you were talking about when you said iPod. It's almost a similar story with the iPhone and iPad, where people know you're talking about a smart phone or tablet when you say those names. It's kinda like that whole joke about a kid playing a video game on an Xbox and the mom coming in saying "How long are you gonna stay on that Nintendo?" The same way Nintendo is practically synonymous with video games, Apple products tend to be the same way. "Those kids and their damn iPhones"...it's always the go to word when talking about smart phones, whether you're an iOS person, Android person, or don't use a smart phone at all. And even if they don't become household names, for example the HomePod and Apple TV, the names are straight forward and you know what you're getting. When you hear "HomePod", you know it's a music player for the home, and well Apple TV needs no explanation. Other companies tend to use some cool snazzy sounding word to sell their product, like Samsung and their Galaxy phones...but does Galaxy really tell you what you're getting? Microsoft calls their tablets "Surface"....but unless you stretch your imagination that doesn't tell me right away that it's a tablet. I don't wanna go as far as saying Apple products are named for idiots who can't tell what's what, but what the names do is effectively tell you everything you need to know about the product. You know that the Mac is a regular desktop, and that the MacBook is a laptop. Just that subtle change, adding Book to the end of the name, is all you need to get the point across that it's a laptop. It rolls off the tongue, and the names become as iconic as the products themselves. I'm not as big a fan of the products that are just named Apple ______, like the Apple Watch and Apple Pencil...I'm more of a fan of the ones that sound simple, yet futuristic, like something you'd find in an episode of Star Trek. I don't know what it is about iPhone...but just adding that "i" makes it sound like a futuristic product. And iPod, AirPods, HomePod...the whole Pod suffix can make anything sound like it's from the future.

    @PRDRprince 4 роки тому +6

    I think the main reason they are dropping the “i” in its name is mainly the trademark issues. The video skipped a lot of the trademark issues that Apple went through when the iPhone was released for example, there was an “iPhone” already out there that was owned by Cisco prior to the release. The switch to the Apple in names of products does have a lot to do with brand recognition but mainly for the simple fact that the Apple logo is trademarked and protected so there won’t be more issues going forward or hopefully less issues going forward with them since they already own the trademark for the Apple logo. I think it really comes down to Apple getting tired of all the lawsuits and trademark issues.

    I like the i and the  naming, it’s perfect the way it is now leaving their most iconic products with the i. Everyone knows who makes the iPhone, iPad and iMac, there is definitely no confusion about who makes those products!
    I just wish I would have been smart enough at the time to hang in to my original iBook like I did with several models of the original iMac, including the first Bondi Blue iMac!

  • @bodypainterX

    You forget a very important issue: many people registered all sort of products with the "I" prefix such as iCar, iWatch, ITV etc. so that if apple would like to use it, they'd have to pay them a huge fee. This even happened to the iPhone name which was used by another company long before the release of the iPhone. they simply got inspired by iMac and iBook and iPad.

  • @jatinsinghal6380
    @jatinsinghal6380 3 роки тому +1

    I think they are doing so to avoid getting the i everywhere because it will become a common scheme and lose its value. Also a product with different naming scheme would get a chance to build its own reputation and niche rather than selling under the hood of the an umbrella term. That is what being iconic is...
