You may never have set, or that you are realizing right now, however, yes, it is true. If you look at a presentation of any iPhone, you will see how the 9:41a pretty peculiar hour, since it doesn't make much sense, right? Why not put something more normal type 12:00?
Well, the truth is that yes, it has more logic than you think, and all iPhone, from the first, have this time, even the next iPhone 16 will have it, as well as other devices. And today we are going to see the real reason, as well as other unsolved curiosities, since it is not the only secret hour that Apple has launched in its products.
The reason for 9:41
Some of you may have intuited it, however, if you do not know, it is difficult to guess it, since it is something that we would never have ever thought, and that, despite being a curiosity, it does not have a real utility, but Apple seemed good idea, and kept it from the first of the iPhone.
Everything goes back to the Presentation of the first modelwhere Steve Jobs would go on stage to show it for the first time to the world. The event was so prepared, that they had the times marked to the second, and, therefore, they knew when the iPhone would come on stage.
This time, as you can have already sensed, were the 9:41. They wanted everyone to have the clock synchronized with the event, and that, on the screen, the current time appeared, that is, all the images already prepared would have the time they would be shown.
It is what happened, and since then, we have images of all the models with that time, something that today is still a curiosity, but which shows the exact moment in which Apple made history.
Other models, such as iPad, also have italthough they did not appear at the same time, however, the company should put an hour, and chose it. To which, for example, does not happen in the Apple Watch.
Apple watches show 10:09, but what is the reason for this other hour? Why not also 9:41? Well, Apple never revealed the reason, but it is believed to be very simple to find out.
The normal watches, those we have at home, when showing them, always mark 10:10, because it is the best time aesthetically to see it. This is something standardized, however, Apple wanted to advance, showing the 10:09as a way of saying that they go ahead of the rest, or that is what everyone believes, so, as long as the company does not deny it, we stay with this like the reason for Apple Watch time.
And you, did you know this curiosity? Have you noticed that the iPhone always marked the same time? Did you think it was for something in particular, or simple chance? Leave us a comment with your impressions about this, and if you have any other curiosity about the apple brand that is interesting to teach us.
