Will the iPhone change its name? One of the creators of the “i” prefix suggests that it should

The creator of the “i” prefix on Apple products suggests that the iPhone should be called “Apple Phone”

Do not panic, the iPhone will not change its name. At least for the moment. But recently all alarms have gone off because the person behind the “i” in Apple products has suggested that the iPhone should change its name. That it is time to do it. But not only the iPhone, but the iPad and iMac They should also change their name.

In case you don’t know, Ken Segall was one of those responsible for some Apple products put the “i” in front, and it was something totally accidental. But Segall was also one of the creators of Apple’s legendary “Think Different” ad, “Only those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who change it”.

Should the iPhone stop being called that?

Although the iPhone was not the first device with the “i” in front, since it was the iMac, the truth is that it is the device that has given the most weight to that prefix. However, Apple began a small transition towards a new way of naming its products, such as the Apple TV, Apple Music, AirPods or Apple Watch.

“The ‘i’ has to go.” “Now it doesn’t make sense. Of course, [Jobs] built [Apple] around it, but remember, the ‘i’ has always been a sub-mark. There may be marketing experts who say Apple would be crazy to drop the prefix, it’s still up against some of the best brands in history, but it can’t be protected, and for too long there have been companies with ‘i’ things connected to Internet, and that is a problem for Apple, known for innovation.”

Although it does not say it explicitly, the truth is that has suggested that the iPhone should become the Apple Phone. As bad as it sounds. In this way, it would follow products such as Apple Watch, Apple TV or Apple Music. But, to be honest, iPhone is so mythical that it can no longer be changed because has been too internalizedboth by users and by those who are not.

iPhone is part of the success of Apple’s smartphone. It was launched in 2007 and is already part of the product. Many people refer to the iPhone as iPhone instead of mobile or smartphone. It still is, but the truth is that iPhone is such a well-established name that changing it could be a mistake. Other products have said goodbye to the prefix, but they have always been new products.
