+Apple's name was proposed by Steve Jobs, as he recalled: "I was on one of my fruitarian diets. I had just come back from the apple farm. It sounded fun, spirited, and not intimidating". The First Apple logo was a complicated drawing of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo was replaced in 1977 by the well-known rainbow silhouette of an apple, designed by Rob Janoff. The apple is "bitten" to not confuse it with a cherry. [([[https://www.cultofmac.com/125063/steve-jobs-finally-reveals-where-the-name-apple-came-from/|Cult of Mac]])]

+==== The presentation of the first iPhone was set up ====
+The first iPhone model, which was unveiled in 2007, did not have as many features as today's smartphones. The device was criticized for its lack of Bluetooth, lack of Flash plug-in support, and lack of MMS capability. What's more, during the presentation Jobs showed one of the prototypes, which did not function properly. A telecommunications mast was erected next to the Moscone Center, the place where the presentation was held. The purpose of this was to guarantee good mobile network coverage, which was necessary to demonstrate certain functions. Jobs had to present the various functions in a set order. If he made a mistake, the device would crash. [([[https://www.techspot.com/news/54246-former-apple-engineer-reveals-secrets-behind-jobs-first-iphone-presentation.html|Tech Spot]])]
