If a digital product, such as a smartphone, laptop, or tablet, contains a 'i' at the beginning of its name, it was created by the Apple firm.
But what exactly does the term i mean in the 'i' iPhone?
Steve Jobs responded by introducing the iMac computer in 1998.
When introducing this computer, Steve Jobs stated that i stands for internet, although this is not the sole meaning.
"We want people to know that this is an internet-capable computer."
However, he stated that i does not only refer to the internet, but is also an acronym for four other terms.
Individual words that instruct, inform, and inspire.
According to Steve Jobs, we are a personal computer firm, and while this gadget is intended for Internet use, it can also be used for teaching and instruction.
"We hope that by being inspired by this, we will be able to develop even better devices in the future," he added.
When introducing the original iPhone in 2007, he stated that this phone would be able to connect to the internet.
However, it should be highlighted that the aim of including iKi on every device is to assure users that they are using an Apple product and that i is not being used solely to access the Internet.
For example, when the original iPod was released in 2001, it did not include internet connection.
