It is likely that Apple sounds so good to you that you don't even realize, even if you know it, its meaningespecially if you live in a Spanish-speaking country, and it is as if the most important brand in the world and the one that everyone loves was called “apple.” It's funny to me to say, I'm going to listen to music on the “manzana music” app. Why choose the name of a fruit?
Well, Steve Jobs didn't think it was so strange, and this name was not chosen at randombut for 2 personal reasons that made a lot of sense, at least for him, who perhaps, if he had known the impact of the brand, would have thought of something else, although now we cannot imagine an iPhone without being from Apple.
Why is it called Apple?
I'm sure you've asked yourself this at some point, although you may not have looked for it. Steve Jobs' reasons are very simple, and we are going to know them now.
The first of them is because I was looking for a name that could surpass Atarihis previous company, in alphabetic order. In the past, guides used to list companies in this way, and if someone was looking for a technology company, yours would come out first. Many believe that it is not the main reason, but it could have helped a lot in their decision.
Jobs commented on it in his biography written by Walter Isaacson and in some interviews. He mentioned that if they couldn't come up with a better name, “Apple” would also work well because it would appear before Atari, the company Jobs had previously worked for.
The second of them, and the one that we believe is most important, is because Steve Jobs was a fan of appleshe loved them and couldn't live without them, therefore, what better than to name a project that you want to succeed after something that you are passionate about in your daily life?
Be that as it may, they have passed almost 50 yearsand the apple has become the most recognized symbol on the planet, being the company with the highest market capitalization, and with the projection of continuing to be so for many years. It's a shame that Steve Jobs is not there to see it, although without him nothing would have been possible.
And you, did you know this fact? Did you know that apart from the taste for apples, the name is given to be one of the first brands at the alphabetical level? It may seem silly, but that would have helped, to a greater or lesser extent, their growth at the time, which gave them enough popularity to be able to continue and be where they are now.
And Steve Jobs had very strange quirks and quirks. Did you know that he didn't use license plates on his cars? The law of his state allowed him not to wear it for the first 6 months. What Jobs did was simply change cars every half year, therefore, they could never locate him, at least by his vehicle. He was also a Buddhist, believed in homeopathy (one of the causes of his death) and was the founder of Pixar. Amazing right?
