From another post elsewhere...

"As announced for the very first iMac that came out in 98', the "i" stood for "Internet, Individual, Instruct, Inform, and Inspire".

And another:

"The original imac, released in 1998, was marketed around the concept that it was the easiest computer to connect to the internet. in '98, the internet was still something that most people didn't use regularly, and so the idea of a computer that was "internet ready" was hip and new. The i stood for internet, but it also stood for "I" as in "me". The imac was designed to make the personal computer feel more personal, and make the user feel like the computer was working for them, not against them." It also meant intelligent so that is why imac, ipod ,ipad, iphone stand for intelligentpad, intelligenphone, and so on.
