Have you ever observed the above-mentioned time, and why is it 9:41 am in all the official pictures of apple Products? Other than the new ‘Its Glowtime’ iPhone 16 released. The same goes for the events. It is not a coincidence. There are explanations within the company as for such time.
Even in 2010 January, developer Jon Manning obtained an explanation of this unusual detail from Scott Forstall, chief of the then iOS. Forster said that the time was picked because it placed every item on the clock face in full view without the clock hands, which in some ways were determined to be decorative. In order to expose the whole clock including the minute hand without covering any other areas, Apple set the clock to 9.41 because it avoided any of hour hand from blocking the minute hand. This makes the arrangement of the elements more appealing.
“When we made the keynote, we made the practical decision that the big reveal of the product would take place roughly 40 minutes into the demo. When the big image of the product came on the screen, we wanted the time displayed to be reasonably close to the time visible on the audience’s watch. But we knew we It won’t be exactly”.
“We knew it would not be exactly forty minutes for the demo.” Fausto said. Apple has made it a point to include a minute or two on the clock, according to him, ‘which is an additional minute or two added to allow every bit of comfort for a slight wee to prevent delays or bumps’.
The 9.41am timestamp is exactly when Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone in 2007
In 2014, Engadget also tries to recover its live blog of Steve Jobs at The launch of the first iPhone in 2007. As the Live Blog timeline shows, Steve Jobs unveiled his first iPhone.
9:41 am- “This is the day I have been looking forward to, for the last two and a half years. Over every few products, once in a lifetime a disruptive revolution arrives in the market. This should be the only thing that you do in your life if at all, Very much fortunate. You are so fortunate that the company was able to put a few of those products in the world and change an entire market.”
9:42 am – “We are announcing three ground-breaking products today. The first is a touch wide-screen iPod.” The crowd went haywire. “The second is a revolutionary new phone.”
9:43 am – “The third one is a successful Internet communication device.” The last response did not impress, but nearly earned him the crowd’s standing ovation, over the phone, apostatizing.
What remains is a history and legacy, which Apple seems to be affectionate about, but has been serviced.
