MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does the “i” in iPhone stand for?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does the “i” in iPhone stand for?

Today Apple announced the new iPhone 14 and a bunch of other updates to their various toys.

What does the “i” in iPhone stand for anyway? Back in 1998 Steve Jobs was asked about it with the iMac and iPod were released, which then evolved into the iPhone. He explained that it stands for “Internet”.

Makes sense! Because it certainly doesn’t stand for “inexpensive”.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: This school won the drop off line game with parents

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: This school won the drop off line game with parents

It’s back to school for teachers and kids which also means back to drop off/pick up lines for parents. Which can be a drag, take forever, and get REALLY boring at times. Which is why this one school in Ohio decided to make the scenery a little more entertaining with fun signs from the 80s and 90s.

A few of them were things like:

“Can’t park here!” with a photo of MC Hammer. Clearly a play on his hit “U Can’t Touch This”.

“Tell the kids Bye, Bye, Bye” with NSYNC on the sign.

“Don’t Go Blocking Dropoff lines” a clever take on TLC’s waterfalls.

Smart idea! See the rest of the signs and the full story HERE
