Why do Apple products always mark 9.41:XNUMX am at launch?

iPhone, iPad, iPod: at least once in our life we ​​have seen the presentation of one of these products!

The latest iPhone by the house, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, do not fail the nice "convention" we are about to tell you about: their watches, at the time of presentation, Were set to 9.41… A bit like all iDevices for quite some time now!

A random choice of time? Absolutely not, and we can explain why.

Flashback back in 2007, when an enthusiast Steve Jobs introduces the world's first iPhone: when the veil dropped and showed the first iPhone by they were 9.42 local time. And, from 2007 to 2010, all iDevices presented marked the 9.42.

Why are we going one minute ahead today? Simple: because the iPad cousin, another "game changer", was presented instead a minute early -   9.41. And hence the new convention, which can still be found today!

Completely different story for Apple Watches! The major watch manufacturers, you have certainly noticed, set the time from a standstill to 10.10 - both to show the symmetry of the chronograph and to make the logo visible (usually placed under the "12").

Apple, on the other hand, set the time of his Apple Watch at 10.09. A gauntlet? We're not sure, but TNW gives two rather plausible explanations for this convention:

1. the time is set at 10.09 because the "revelation" of the new product lasts about a minute (thus triggering the fateful 10.10);
2. because setting the time to 10.09 makes symmetry more.

Here is yet another demonstration that Apple never leaves things to chance ...
