All of us who have an iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc., have seen hundreds of times their icons, especially if we talk about the Apple native applicationsbecause they already come in them and we usually use them, or at least see them from time to time, however, you may not know their origin.
Today we are going to see the curiosities of these applications, since some are quite interesting, and I, at least, did not know, so if you are Apple fan you have to see them all, so that the next time you find the icon, you know why.
Why is each icon of each iPhone app
Some may be very evident, and you have noticed, however, if you have never had an iPhone or it is your first time, you will be surprised by the reason for any of them:
- Safari?
- Safari's logo is a compass because originally It was not called safaribut Ibrowse. The name change came with the idea of ”navigating” on the web as if it were an exploration.
- Notes? ️
- The design mimics a sheet of yellow paper with stripes, referring to physical notes, legal style pad Used in US offices.
- Clock ?
- It is one of the few apps whose icon shows real time in real time. Even the seconder moves precisely.
- Calendar ?
- It also shows the real date. But during the original iPhone presentation event in 2007, it was frozen in January 9, 2007the day Steve Jobs showed it to the world, hence when you see the app in an Apple image, show that day.
- Mail?
- Your icon is a About classic paperinspired by real air mail envelopes. It has remained practically unchanged from the first versions of iOS.
- Messages ?
- The Green Globe represents the SMS messageswhile the blue balloons in Issssage indicate Messages sent online between Apple devices. The dialogue bubble is a wink to the comic design.
- Facetime?
- Has the icon of a Classic camcorderalthough almost no one uses one of those today. It is a wink to the original concept of traditional “video”.
- Music ?
- The logo has changed many times, but the current one is a minimalist with a musical note. For many years, the icon included a iPodas a tribute to the golden era of Apple digital music.
- App Store? ️
- Before it was made with a pencil, a rule and a brush (representing the creativity of the developers). Now they are three stylized lines in the form of “A” geometricmore abstract.
- Bag ?
- This app, which serves to see the price of the stock exchange, has a real graphicand it is from the moment that Apple passed its rival company at that time (Dell).
The truth is that the latter is very curious, and few people know, although most of them are something logical, but that many times we already associate and do not think about why. Leave us a comment that you liked the most.
