This video was very helpful, great job. I was an android user for so many years, but when I switched to Apple, I have been so passionate about everything that Apple does. I would really hate to see the " i " going away, but unfortunately companies out there are all trying to copy instead of bringing new ideas.

Although the United States has one Office in charge of registering both patents and trademarks (USPTO), they are NOT one and the same thing. It's impossible to patent a name. Names are trademarked. Inventions are patented. Brand names and logos are trademarked. One cannot patent a mark. The repeated use in this video of the word "patent" to refer to registering a "trademark" is quite incorrect.

[@thealaskan1635]

One mistake (in my opinion) Apple made was not bragging about the ease of using their ilife package in the OS.That was why I bought a Mac laptop when it came out. I bought it so u could make DVDs from videotape.I bought an analog to digital converter so I could do this.What I liked is it worked without any plugins or add-on. I just hit play on my VCR and it was like magic.I tried it with a crappy Wintel PC and it just wouldn't work. It started bossing me like a Borg with steps to make it work.And the Wintel OS had nothing like ilife built in the OS.

Since the eMac was for education (where “e” stood for education), iThink that the “i” was there to indicate that the device was for personal use as opposed to educational. Eventually, the prefix caught on and became a signature part of the Apple brand.
