AppleTV+: By the way, why does the streaming platform have this name?

Like Netflix, Disney+ or even Amazon Prime, the AppleTV+ streaming platform is today a major and essential player in the landscape of movies and series. Today we will reveal to you why the Apple company created by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in the 70s is called

If Apple is called Apple, it’s only because Steve Jobs loved apples! (Apple means apple in English, editor’s note) The American told his biographer Walter Isaacson that it was after a fruit diet and a visit to an apple plantation that he proposed the idea to his friend Steve Wozniak. For Jobs, it was called Apple “Funny, witty and not intimidating.“

So much for the most official reason. But if Jobs drew attention to the Apple name, it’s probably because he was a fan of Isaac Newton. It is not for nothing that the mathematician is represented in the company’s first logo. And we can clearly conclude that the name of the latter will be a tribute paid to the universal theory of gravitation, the idea of ​​which appeared in Newton’s mind after the fall of the apple.

Finally, and more surprisingly, Steve Jobs revealed in 1980, during the presentationwho named his company Apple “Partly because it makes the name appear before Atari’s in the phone book, and I used to work for Atari.”

We summarize: behind the name Apple, therefore, stands a lot of apples, a little Isaac Newton and a malicious desire to get ahead of the competition!
